JK Rowling Slammed After Mocking Gender-Neutral Language In U.K. Mother's Day Post

The 'Harry Potter' author used her post marking Mother's Day in the U.K. on X, formerly Twitter, to mock trans and nonbinary people.

Harry Potter author JK Rowling is once again in hot water after voicing her obsession with the existence of transgender people and her hatred of inclusivity.

Much like how conservatives' "War on Christmas" has never been real and everyone has always been free to say "Merry Christmas" if they like, Rowling seems convinced that there is now a "War on Mother's Day," which the UK celebrated last weekend.


She took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to voice her ire about the situation by mocking the ways gender-inclusive language has supposedly erased mothers from Mother's Day, a phenomenon no one but Rowling has noticed because it hasn't happened.

Rowling's tweet read:

"❤️💐Happy Birthing Parent Day to all whose large gametes were fertilised resulting in small humans whose sex was assigned by doctors making mostly lucky guesses ❤️💐"

Imagine being so obsessed with how trans and nonbinary people live their lives that you'd spend the one day of the year set aside to honor mothers doing... whatever this is instead of being present in the moment with your children. An interesting choice!

It really is exactly like all the other conservative propaganda over the past few years: "The War on Christmas," the "death panels" of Obamacare, the "criminals at the border."

All things that have never been real (or in the case of the latter, barely have), but that the far-right has convinced people are ruining everything.

From the hitmakers who brought you those, now comes "you can't even say Happy Mother's Day anymore without offending 'the woke transgenders!'"

It's bigoted and dangerous, yes, but it's also stupid and weird. None of this is real. Imagine if people cared this much about actual problems.

Anyway, as you might guess, Rowling's hot take on how Mother's Day is no longer Mother's Day did not go over well with many online.







Rowling quickly took more time out of the holiday she is convinced has been destroyed to issue a sneering, trolling reply to the uproar.

Happy belated Mother's Day, JK, and may you one day find the sense of peace and joy in life you are so obviously lacking.

CNN Panelist Epically Rips Conservative Pundit After He Tries To Downplay Epstein Files

Podcast host Leigh McGowan criticized conservative CNN panelist Scott Jennings on Monday over his cavalier attitude about the Justice Department's failure to release the Epstein files, calling his response “insane” and “horrifying.”

The DOJ has released less than 1% of the Epstein files. The department acknowledged that it has released just 12,285 documents—totaling 125,575 pages—related to Epstein, even though federal law required the bulk of those records to be made public by December 19.

New Data On How Trump Is Polling With Gen Z Is A Disastrous Wake-Up Call For His Administration

According to the latest polling data highlighted on CNN, President Donald Trump's support among Gen Z voters has fallen considerably—a remarkable shift in public opinion from a cohort whose support proved crucial to his 2024 election win.

Trump's 2024 campaign received a massive boost thanks to the efforts of Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk, the far-right activist who was assassinated in September. Kirk galvanized the youth vote but those gains have not held steady since Trump entered office.
