Controversy "Feminazi", witch "... rain of criticism of JK Rowling for her transphobic comments
Literature JK Rowling, the fall of an acclaimed writer beset by the 'new censorship'
JK Rowling (56),
author of
Harry Potter,
has become the latest victim of
doxxing
, a form of
online harassment
that consists of publicly revealing
personal information
about a person who until then was unknown to the general public. The writer maintains that
three actors and activists
photographed themselves in front of her home last Friday, carefully positioning themselves to make sure
the address was visible,
and later shared those images on social media.
"I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who reported the image to @TwitterSupport.
Your kindness and decency
have made a huge difference to my family and me. I would also like to thank @PoliceScotland for their support and help in this matter," he said. Rowling stated.
"I implore the people who retweeted
the image with the address still visible, even if they did so condemning the actions of these people,
to delete it."
Although it is an unjustifiable and potentially dangerous violation of her privacy, she insists that she
does not feel "intimidated"
because by now she
has received so many
death
threats
that she could "paper the house with them." Furthermore, the author is determined not to allow such incidents to silence her so that she stops talking about
women's rights based on sex.
Last year Rowling was involved in a
strong controversy
after publishing an article entitled
Creating a more equal world for people who menstruate
in which she argued that certain women's rights were threatened by the
activism of a part of the trans community.
His position was directly related to new legislation - such as the UK Gender Recognition Act 2004 - which, in his opinion, posed a great risk because they allow a person to
change their gender in the eyes of the law
without undergoing reassignment surgery or without taking hormonal therapy.
In short, the writer
opposes eliminating the legal definition of sex
and replacing it with that of gender.
The reactions to that article were immediate and she considers that the leak of her personal address is just one more proof that women are really being threatened.
"Maybe - and I'm just throwing an idea out there - the best way to show that your movement is not a threat to women is to
stop harassing, harassing and threatening us," he
has now concluded.
