It all started with the fact that the author of Harry Potter shared the quotation of the feminist writer Andrea Dvorkin, which said that men relate to female opinions as "acts of violence". Stephen King Retwittered this quote, and Rowling later expressed deep love and admiration for his colleague.
I always respected Stephen King, but today my love for him has reached new heights. Men make it much easier to ignore the problems of women or disgrace them, but I will never forget those men who interrected, even when no one asked them. Thank you, Stephen,
- Posted by Joan in now Tety remotely.
However, soon after that, tweet King asked how he belongs to trans-women, and he stated that he supported them.
Trans-women are women
- answered King. And Rowling deleted his laudatory tweet about Stephen.
Recall, Joan Rowling spoke in favor of considering transgender women women, because, in her opinion, it gives biological men unlimited access to women (toilets, locker rooms) and carries the danger of natural women. Especially it perturbates that in some countries a man can recognize a woman if he "just declares himself a woman."
Joan explains his fears by the fact that in his youth she experienced sexual violence and manual attribution by a man.
