JK Rowling Slammed After Claiming That 'There Are No Trans Kids' In Hateful Rant

The famed author took to X to claim that "there are no trans kids" before blaming the adults in their lives.

Famed Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was criticized after she took to X to claim that "there are no trans kids" before blaming the adults in their lives.

Rowling has repeatedly come under fire for her anti-transgender views and their inclusion in her writing. Her responses to proposed changes to gender recognition laws in the United Kingdom have also drawn public backlash.


And she's at it again, this time denying the existence of transgender children in a viral post:

"There are no trans kids. No child is 'born in the wrong body'. There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined."

You can see her post below.

Rowling is wrong.

For instance, the number of children in the United States openly identifying as a gender different from the one assigned at birth has grown significantly, reflecting increased recognition of transgender identities and rights, despite ongoing prejudice and discrimination.

With this rise, access to gender-affirming care has expanded, including services offered at numerous clinics within major hospitals.

An analysis of government health surveys from 2017 to 2020 found that 1.4% of 13- to 17-year-olds and 1.3% of 18- to 24-year-olds identified as transgender, compared to about 0.5% of adults overall. These numbers represent a notable increase from previous reports, though the methodologies used differed.

Experts attribute this trend to greater social acceptance and the availability of terminology enabling younger generations to explore and express their gender identities, whereas older adults may face more societal constraints.

Rowling was harshly criticized as a result.


When JK Rowling states that: "There are no trans kids!" she might mean it in regards to the UK in the same manner as Ramzan Kadyrov the Chechen leader or those in similiar countries said, since they had systematcally hunted queer people out of existence in their respective places.

Yeah. All those cultures with names for non binary genders, and historical records of people living trans lives don't mean anything. Her ability to look around London and turn what she saw into a successful series of books makes her an expert on biology and psychology.

Ugh, no trans kids?! I was a trans kid once. I just didn’t have the term nonbinary yet. Sad that trans people were born into the wrong kind of human society where rich people can just dehumanize entire groups of people for just trying to exist as the most authentic version of themselves.

Seems JK Rowling claims there are ‘no trans kids’, she has too because the alternative means admitting you are an over privileged bigot, so she erases the very kids she is bullying from her consciousness. Similar to Brexit voters, they suffer with cognitive dissonance.

Over the last few years, Rowling has argued against the inclusion of transgender women in women's restrooms and promoted stereotypes about transgender people, as when she included a cross-dressing killer inTroubled Blood, written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, a tribute to a man long considered the father of conversion therapy.

Rowling has said she'd "happily" go to prison over her anti-trans views, previously declaring that she'd "happily do two years [in prison] if the alternative is compelled speech and forced denial of the reality and importance of sex."

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
