Writer apologizes to JK Rowling after finding NO evidence she is transphobic

An LGBTQ activist praised JK Rowling for her “courage” and told her followers that people are “burning the wrong witch” after she couldn’t find any evidence that the Harry Potter author is transphobic.

EJ Rosetta, a writer and columnist for HuffPost who has spoken out a lot about trans issues herself, said in a series of tweets that JK Rowling is “not an ‘unbearable transphobe,'” but stood up for women’s rights when she could have sat back.

JK Rowling said she has long faced death threats and rape threats for her views on transgender issues, where she has denounced the erosion of biological sex and the harm it can do to women. Critical LGBTQ activists have called the author a TERF, a trans-exclusive radical feminist, and have repeatedly denounced her for her views.

The author’s comments and tweets prompted Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson to distance themselves from the creator of the world.

But LGBTQ writer EJ Rosetta is convinced activists are “burning the wrong witch.”

In the tread, EJ Rosetta wrote, “Okay, I’m done. 3 months ago I was commissioned to write an article on ’20 transphobic JK Rowling quotes we’re done with’. found a single truly transphobic message.’

The columnist and writer for HuffPost concluded that JK Rowling is not an “excruciatingly transphobe,” but a “woman who could have sat back and been loved forever,” but chose to speak out about women’s rights.

EJ Rosetta often said, “One group’s rights are sacrificed for another, with the most vulnerable women often paying the price.” The HuffPost writer pointed to the example of domestic violence shelters and praised JK Rowling for “paying attention.”

The Harry Potter author was also praised for her “courage” in speaking out on the issue.

‘Three months of dedicated research,’ wrote EJ Rosetta, ‘& I cannot find a single truly transphobic quote from JK Rowling that would withstand the scrutiny of journalistic integrity. The abuse JK endured is unforgivable. Every death threat, r*pe threat and stream of abuse, she birthed grace.”

Rosetta concluded, “You’re burning the wrong witch.” I support @jk_rowling.’

JK Rowling originally came under fire in June 2020 after retweeting an op-ed in which she disagreed with the term “people who menstruate” instead of the publication using “women.”

The author tweeted, “People who menstruate.” I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me. Wumben? Wimpund? Anger?’

She was also rebuked by LGBTQ activists in 2020 when she wrote, “Erasing the concept of sex deprives many of the ability to talk meaningfully about their lives. It’s not hate to speak the truth.’

She added: “I respect every trans person’s right to live in a way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I would go with you if you were discriminated against because you are trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being a woman. I don’t think it’s hateful to say that.’

Since then, JK Rowling has said she has been threatened with death and rape for her outspoken views. Last year, activists posted a photo of themselves outside the author’s home holding a pro-trans sign. The author’s address was clearly visible in the image.

Rowling accused the activists of intimidating her, adding that she has now received so many death threats that she “could wallpaper the house with them.”

Downing Street even got involved, criticizing the attacks on JK Rowling by trans activists. The official spokesman for then Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in November 2021: ‘I don’t think anyone should be targeted in that way.

“We believe that everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect and that people can share their opinions as long as it is done that way.”

EJ Rosetta said she identified herself as a “recovered TERF.” The term is used to describe feminists who others consider trans rights to be excluded from women’s rights.

Since then, the HuffPost writer has said trans rights should be respected and called for equality. She also raised awareness of the high suicide rate among trans youth.

JK Rowling’s comments prompted Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe to speak out in response to her Tweets in 2020 in a statement published via the Trevor projecta suicide prevention charity for the LGBTQ community.

The actor said: “I realize certain press outlets probably want to portray this as a battle between JK Rowling and me, but that’s not the point, nor is it important at this point. While Jo is undeniably responsible for the course of my life, I feel compelled to say something at this time.’

The actor concluded, “Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary detracts from the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice from professional health organizations who have far more expertise in this area than Jo or me.”

Emma Watson also responded to JK Rowling’s comments in June 2020. The Hermione Granger actress wrote, “Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they are not who they say they are.

“I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the world see you, respect you, and love you for who you are.”
