Harry Potter author JK Rowling is once again in the soup for her controversial remarks on transgender people. Rowling, who has been in controversy for her views on women’s rights and the LGBTQ+ community over the years, said in a post on social media platform X that no one is “‘born in the wrong body’.” Her post on Sunday (Dec 29) sparked critcism with people accusing her of “hateful focus”.
Rowling suggested in her latest post that transgender children do not exist.
There are no trans kids. No child is ‘born in the wrong body’. There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined. pic.twitter.com/yyc4MxgfOk

‘Use your immense power for good’
It all started when a social media user accused her of not using her “immense power” for good. The user wrote, “I wish you would use your immense power for good. Your hateful focus on trans kids is hurtful and unnecessary.”
Rowling responded to the critic saying, “There are no trans kids. No child is ‘born in the wrong body’. There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that ends up wrecking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.”
