JK Rowling Called Out After Criticizing African Soccer Star For Not Being Feminine Enough

The Harry Potter author chastized the BBC for naming Zambian soccer star Barbra Banda their "Women’s Footballer of the Year," claiming the outlet is "spitting" in women's faces despite the fact that Banda is a cisgender female.

JK Rowling has once again made a spectacle of herself for being so obsessed with trans women that she's accused another cisgender woman of being trans.

Rowling is currently being sued by Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khalif after the Harry Potter author accused her of secretly being a man following her winning boxing bout against Italian opponent Angela Carini.


Now, Rowling may add a lawsuit from Zambian soccer star Barbra Banda to her roster after the writer insulted Banda on X and implied that she is secretly a man, too.

Rowling's outrage came after Banda, who plays for the Orlando Pride, was awarded "Women's Footballer of the Year" by the BBC. Rowling was not having it.

Rowling tweeted:

“Presumably the BBC decided this was more time efficient than going door to door to spit directly in women’s faces.”

Her tweet came in response to Oliver Brown, a sports writer for right-wing British newspaper The Telegraph, who pointed out in a tweet that Banda was "withdrawn from 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations for failing to meet sex eligibility rules."

This occurred in 2018 and 2022 due to Banda having naturally occurring high levels of testosterone. Elevated testosterone in women is sometimes caused by conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome or adrenal issues, though the cause of Banda's case is unknown.

What they are not related too, however, is a person's gender because that is not how anything works. But of course, virulent transphobic obsessives like Rowling aren't likely to care about that.

All they care about is the fact that Banda's elevated levels caused her to be removed from the 2018 and 2022 Cup of Nations after hormone-suppression medication failed to lower her testosterone levels to levels acceptable by the Confederation of African Football.

However, supervisory organizations that supersede the CAF, including the International Olympic Committee and FIFA, the highest international governing body in the sport, have deemed Banda eligible to play, and she has participated in two World Cups and the Olympics.

On social media, many people called Rowling out for her ridiculous bigotry towards Banda.











Imagine being this embarrassingly outraged about something that could be cleared up with a simple Google search despite it being none of your business in the first place.

Trump made the remark during a Cabinet meeting on Monday, speaking at a time when his immigration crackdown is upending the lives of day laborers and agricultural workers around the country, namely those who do know how to use the lawnmowers he claims are too "impractical" for the average person to use or understand.

Kristen Stewart Goes Viral With Her Take On Why Method Actors In Hollywood All Seem To Be Men

In every behind-the-scenes acting documentary, there’s always one guy eager to recount the time he took method acting “too far.”

The stories are lauded as part of a toxic and misogynistic Hollywood lore: Jared Leto allegedly terrorizing Suicide Squad castmates with Joker-inspired “gifts,” Daniel Day-Lewis insisting on being addressed as “Mr. President” on and off set filming Lincoln, and Christian Bale radically altering his body for The Machinist.
