Harry Potter author JK Rowling must be growing bored with transphobia because now she's using her worldwide platform to whine about asexuals.

Sunday, April 6 was International Asexuality Day, and of course Rowling couldn't possibly just let the day go by.

She shared a celebratory infographic created by an activist organization and used it to mock asexual people instead.

It was tepid criticism compared to some of the things she's said about trans people, but another bizarre example of her obsession with LGBTQ+ people, nonetheless.

Rowling posted:

"Happy International Fake Oppression Day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag."

Pretty hilarious to make claims about "fake oppression" in a post oppressing the people you're criticizing, but that's Rowling for you.

People had thoughts.

Anyway, why Rowling has a problem with people simply being aware that asexuality exists is anyone's guess, but Yasmin Benoit, an activist who co-created International Asexuality Day, spoke out to PinkNews about why Rowling's unkind words matter.

“A lot of people’s introduction [to International Asexuality Day] has now been through JK Rowling hating on it."
"It’s becoming a conversation in so many spaces I haven’t seen before, but for a negative reason. She kind of hijacked the occasion.”

Which is kind of her whole thing. Joanne loves attention!

JK Rowling is vile, and in no way an ally to LGBTQ+ people. Asexual people continue to be persecuted through forced sexualisation. People stigmatise their clothing choices and behaviors which lead to harassment. There’s need for increased visibility and education on this issue.

Benoit went on to tell PinkNews that rhetoric like Rowling's contributes to stigma against asexual people that includes accusations that it is a mental illness, the result of mental health treatments like SSRIs, or part of the "trans agenda," all of which are false.

On social media, Rowling's comments did not go over well at all.

so jk rowling hates asexuals now? how often was that woman dropped as a baby jesus christ

JK Rowling is cruel and stupid.

And, of course, there were lots of asexuality-themed jokes about Rowling's infamous black mold problem she is alleged to have in her house.


Here's hoping that one day, Rowling finds a hobby or something so she's not so triggered by other people existing. Poor thing.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

John Oliver Epically Drags Jesse Watters For Sharing Unverified Video Of Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandals On Fox News

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.
