Some Twitter users then claimed that the journal had conducted a poll where JK Rowling received the most votes, prompting the ballot to be canceled. “This form has been deactivated and is closed to any future contributions,” according to a sentence at the bottom of the original post, which hoaxers exploited as “proof” of a pulled poll.

Throughout 2021, JK Rowling has been embroiled in controversy for a series of remarks that many consider transphobic. She published a post on her website in 2020 titled “Five Reasons to Be Concerned About New Trans Activism.”
On Wednesday, the author responded to a tweet from a conservative news website that stated, “Most Americans agree with J.K. Rowling; there are only two genders.”
JK Rowling’s response was: “I’ve never claimed there are just two genders, which is a minor but significant point. There are a plethora of gender identities to choose from.”
“At the core of this discussion is whether sex or gender identity should form the foundation of choices on safeguarding, service provision, sporting categories, and other areas where women and girls now have legal rights and protections,” she continued.
Supporters of JK Rowling have established a petition on Ipetitions.com, which has already attracted 25,000 signatures. A phrase from the first Harry Potter book is prominently displayed on the petition: “It takes a great lot of guts to stand up to our enemies, but it takes just as much to stand up to our friends.”
JK Rowling is the readers’ favorite person, according to a poll published in a woke newspaper:
She tweeted, “The Imprisoned Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman,” with a link to an article titled “Absurdity’ of cops recording rapists as women.” Before The Guardian ended their voting early, JK Rowling was almost awarded Person of the Year for 2021.
However, after readers chose Rowling as their favorite, they promptly removed the poll from the left-wing newspaper’s website. LAST YEAR, the LGBTQ community was outraged by the Harry Potter author’s reported transphobic remarks. JK Rowling most recently remarked on Scotland’s law enforcement policy allowing accused rapists to self-identify as a female in December 2021.
“Peace is War.” Slavery is the opposite of freedom. Ignorance is a powerful weapon. She tweeted, “The Imprisoned Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman,” with a link to an article titled “Absurdity” of cops identifying rapists as women. JK Rowling has declared that she is not transphobic and is just a supporter of women’s rights and safety, yet the LGBTQ community continues to criticize her.
“At the core of this discussion is whether sex or gender identity should form the basis of decisions on safeguarding, provision of services, sporting categories, and other areas where women and girls now have legal rights and protections,” tweeted JK Rowling.
