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.

She’s hateful.
Just because she found Imane not pretty enough, she erased her gender.
JK Rowling is a hateful disgusting person, and I hope she loses every dime she has.
These lawsuits need to continue to happen, especially toward those who find every excuse to label gay people as “pedophiles” or “groomers.” These are very serious and slanderous accusations.
whether or not i agree with JK, i still love the art she created, and i still love that she has the courage to speak out & stand up for what she feels in the face of such rejection & ostracizing!
So you’re a transphobic idiot too? Good to know.
an idiot yes, you’re absolutely right, i’m an idiot. transphobic no, that’s too specific, i’m people-phobic, i think that all people suck equally!
what a cringe response to your equally nauseating original comment. Why not come out and say what you actually mean? Trans people prefer the bashers they can see coming.
She is defending women. Those boxers both tested positive for XY chromosomes in the past and chose not to litigate/fight those test results when they were disqualified from the world championships a couple of years ago. Sorry – if they were XX (women), they could have challenged that ruling and been reinstated. Their silence on the issue back then is revealing. They were only allowed to compete in the olympics because their passport says they’re women. It has nothing to do with their genetics (XY chromosomes). That is why people are outraged.
OK, i’ll say it a different way: I feel that all people are equal and deserve equal rights & equal treatment. i don’t have a different set of values for how i treat people depending on their truth. i have 1 set of values of how i treat all people, regardless of their truth, including you, Morgana, and JK Rowling, and ALL human beings. i love that you, Morgana, and JK Rowling both have the courage to speak your truth. YOU GO GURLS!!!
Ummm… the idiots are the sheep.
Despite popular “cancel” obsessions, no two people on the planet agree on everything. NONE!
And please stop using phobic on everything? I don’t agree with murder, but I’m not murderphobic. Learn what the term really means.
Transphobia isn’t a new hip term. This demographic faces specific exclusion, & violence simply for existing. If you don’t acknowledge this word, then you’re truly suited to live in one of J.K.’s FANTASY stories. What experience do you have to actually contribute this this conversation. You sound like another rightwing nut job whose been banned from Reddit, so he unleashes his poison on any forum he can.
Emphasis on “feels” since it’s all baseless fear-mongering and pseudoscience. Thankfully not *all* of our institutions run on that system. Feeling grateful for all those with the courage to speak out and stand up for the truth.
Why do all modern doctors accept this “psuedo-science?”, please enlighten us with your conspiracy theories.
i said what i meant, but i’ll say it a different way: I feel that all people are equal and deserve equal rights & equal treatment. i don’t have a different set of values for how i treat people depending on their truth. i have 1 set of values of how i treat all people, regardless of their truth, including you, Morgana, and JK Rowling, and ALL human beings. i love that you, Morgana, and JK Rowling both have the courage to speak your truth. YOU GO GURLS!!!
