The usually boisterous TERF JK Rowling has gone silent on X after being named in a cyberbullying lawsuit by Algerian boxer and Olympic champion Imane Khelif:
Rowling, named alongside others such as X owner Elon Musk, posted a picture of Khelif’s fight against Italian boxer Angela Carini and claimed that the Olympian enjoyed “the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head.”
“Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better?” Rowling asked on Aug 1. “The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.”
Now, critics of Rowling, who stirred controversy over the past several years for her views towards transgender people, note that the author is finally quiet.
“If the case does nothing else, Imane Khelif gave us the first week of absolute silence from JK Rowling in about five years and that alone is worth another gold medal,” one user wrote last week.
Bah! True. Looks like someone’s second-guessing their hate spew.
