She is. Richard K. Morgan, the author of Altered Carbon, made several public statements agreeing with JKR and critiquing trans ideology. He was then banned from Twitter for saying transwomen aren’t women. I know several woke people irl who are wringing their hands about how awful and bigoted JKR is. They never shut up about how Harry Potter is ruined for them. However, most of them are also fans of the Altered Carbon series. I have yet to hear any whining about Morgan from that lot. Likewise, when Stephen King made a tentative move to stand with JKR, he didn’t get any rape threats, didn’t get any porn on his Twitter replies, received very few death threats, and there was no #RIPStephenKing insanity.

Yeah. The irony is that it was the fundamentalist Christians demanding everyone boycott JKR and burning her books when I was a kid. There were several kids from über-religious families at my school that weren’t allowed to read HP. Heck, there was even a girl in my third grade class who immediately threw away the Valentine I gave her because it was Harry Potter themed and she was afraid she’d get in trouble at home.

We’ve just come a full circle, haven’t we?
