The temperance of J. K. Rowling in the face of the proliferation of trans laws that redefine the term “woman” is taking the political class by the thumb, which combines, here and there, with the queer religion and which only knows how to counter the writer by accusing her of hater.
In Scotland, where a Hate Crimes law has just come into force that gags every dissenter from the cult of fashion, former Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who last year did not want to apologize for transferring a violent and harassing trans girl in a women’s prison, has called Harry Potter’s mother a “destroyer of women” for continuing to call those who are biologically men men.
The police, due to allusions, hastened to clarify that they will not pursue the renowned writer for political incorrectness on Twitter, although they immediately had to come out with a very ambiguous double denial: “We will not treat it as a non-hate crime”. The laughter on the networks was not long in coming.
Rowling feels strong, hers is the strength that comes from reason. For years I have been warning about the attack against the rights and safety of women and girls, which means including as a woman every man who declares himself as such, starting with prisoners and rape victims. Reading her on Twitter, you’d think she takes the time and patience to respond to even the most offensive and gratuitous comments. Especially those in which she is accused of avoiding the question of what it is to be a woman, the same question that Yolanda Díaz left blank in the middle of the electoral debate.
“Being a woman is not a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one adapts to sexist stereotypes. We are not the creatures that porn or the Bible say we are. Being a woman is not, as the transfeminist Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant ass, blank eyes, very blank,’ nor are we a late occurrence of God, emerging from Adam’s rib. .”.
Rowling’s response on Twitter continues; it is long and enlightening. And the reaction of the person who questioned her at the beginning is very illustrative: “There are a lot of words here, I don’t plan to read the whole fucking text. But I do want to say one thing: it’s weirder to dedicate yourself to doing all this than to simply believe that trans women are women.”
