J.K.Rowling cancelled

She should never hide away. I think she is an amazing woman for standing up for women. The death threats that she has received are disgusting. She encouraged a generation of children to read, is responsible for a whole new genre of wizardy books, made a few children very famous and very wealthy and ( my favourite) she has created a fantasic detective series about an amputee!

Far from it. I may even force myself to read some of her books just to show my support.

I think what's even worse is that so many people don't even know what JKR's opinion is - they just take the word of someone who has told them she's transphobic.

Usually the word of someone who like a bandwagon!

I didn’t think she was hiding away, and nor should she. What kind of a world are our young people growing up in if they can’t listen to a different opinion than their own.

She's kind of untouchable, as she's so well off - she is happy to sue people who libel her on Twitter.

I think she's a great role model for girls, and also a great way for people who know anything about trans issues to show the massive holes in TRA 'arguments'. All you have to do is ask what specifically she said that was so bad, and they go straight to a flounce, or mutter something vague about her being transphobic. It's so clear that they have simply heard this from someone else who hasn't read the source and are simply parroting.

In answer to the question - no, I don't think that anyone should have to hide away for having an opinion that is protected by law. It is hard to believe that anyone has to do that in the UK, but times are changing for the worse.

I don’t think she’s allowed herself to be cancelled, has she? She appears at things and seems quite visible.
