It even comes with a special applicator so you can help them put it on

Rowling's most recent essay puts her hateful views on display for all to see.

In her new essay, Rowling – whose pen name is purposely gender-neutral and who also writes under the alias Robert Galbraith – writes that her views on trans rights have not changed. But, she adds, “the landscape certainly has, and my own involvement in the issue has become practical as well as theoretical, so I thought it was time for an update.”

Rowling is correct. Since she published her 2020 essay, well-funded advocacy like hers in both the U.K. and the U.S. has steadily eroded transgender people’s access to single-sex spaces and sports teams that align with their gender identity, as well as their ability to obtain official documents that accurately reflect their gender identity and their access to gender-affirming care.

At least three of the protesters wore shirts that said “Rowling Money Kills” and one activist used a bullhorn to read a statement, sometimes unintelligible through the noise and shouting of the moment, to those present.

“She would rather police women’s space than support her trans sisters when they are under attack,” that person can be heard saying.

Police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, arrested Laquan Holland, 40, after he was accused of sexually assaulting multiple people in a Planet Fitness women's locker room, Boston 25 News reported.

There is no evidence suggesting that Holland identified as transgender at any point of his life. But Rowling says pro-trans policies that let anyone use the changing room that aligns with their self-declared gender identity are being exploited by predators like Holland.

The day the Supreme Court handed down its decision on the meaning of sex under the Equality Act was the last day Anna*, a woman in her 30s, was seen or heard from. She took herself into her room, locked the door from the inside, and took her own life.

“I love it when a plan comes together” posted the billionaire JK Rowling the next day to her millions of followers on X.com with a photo of her on her yacht, toasting her success with cocktail in one hand and a cigar in her heavily bejewelled other

The Sense8 creator said: “JK Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support Harry Potter, you’re supporting trans genocide.

“The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to JK Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world.”

Wachowski suggested that trans allies should boycott work that benefitted Rowling financially, including HBO’s upcoming TV adaptation of the Harry Potter series.

“In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don’t buy Tesla; and if you’re against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products,” she said.

The same account said the vessel was originally commissioned for LA businessman Eric Smidt, then sold in 2022 to Australian billionaire Brett Blundy, with an estimated value of about $150 million. It suggested the yacht has since changed hands to Rowling.

The Harry Potter author has made no secret of her hate-filled anti-trans views.

On Wednesday, JK Rowling implied that Nazis never targeted trans people in Germany, calling it "a fever dream." She doubled down when challenged with sources showing trans persecution in Nazi Germany.

Hugh Laurie is a transphobe and plays Dumbledore.

Rupert Grint is facing criticism from LGBTQ+ fans upon his return to the role of Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Her advice will result in cisgender women getting harassed and bullied while they’re trying to pee in peace.

Rowling posted the picture taken from below because the trans woman, she said, was “refusing to debate me.”

“A woman who used her wealth to raise up and give back to the marginalised," wrote another. "There’s a lesson there.” And an obstetrician named Dr. Nifkin delivered a fact check: "She supported trans people you ghoul."

Another quoted Rowling in writing: "'A complete, irreplaceable one-off.' Parton spent sixty years telling every single person that’s what they were too, no exceptions. I’m sorry your paths only crossed the once. She could have taught you so much."

Others went for the jugular in attacking Rowling: "Don’t talk about Dolly you disgusting fucking bigot," wrote one. "She championed trans rights you fucking asshole. Keep her name out of your dirty mouth," said Tommy Harringto
