J K Rowling has returned a human rights award, given to her by the organisation Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights.
She has published a statement, explaining her reasons.

This is an extract from it -

RFKHR has stated that there is no conflict between the current radical trans rights movement and the rights of women. The thousands of women who’ve got in touch with me disagree, and, like me, believe this clash of rights can only be resolved if more nuance is permitted in the debate.

She is amazing. I am not sure I could admire her more.

She’s so brave to stand up for all of us. I hope she is resilient and knows we are with her.

She knew what would happen, the threats, the abuse and she did it anyway, I wish I was that brave.
