Many, myself included, believe we are watching a new kind of conversion therapy for young gay people, who are being set on a lifelong path of medicalisation that may result in the loss of their fertility and/or full sexual function. 5/11that Rowling “has clearly dedicated herself so utterly to the anti-trans cause that it has bled into her work”.
“If Rowling has produced a novel which plays upon the old stereotypes of a ‘Man in a Dress’ being a threat, then she's missed the opportunity to have produced an epic thriller that encompasses what actual Trans people encounter daily, regardless of whether they're a protagonist or antagonist in a story,” Doak told“With great power comes even greater responsibility, which is something that an author as accomplished as J.K. Rowling should be aware of,” she said.
Dr Rosewarne said the movement is “characterised by a gatekeeping position, determining who does and doesn't get accepted as a woman and who can and can't enter certain spaces and be part of certain discussions”.“Trans-exclusionary Radical Feminists tend to think that there's a biological truth about gender. So women must be born as women, and you can't change your gender,” Ms Killen added.
