J.K. Rowling is one of that rare breed, a Leftist who doesn't buy into the "gender fluidity" and "trans" insanity. The media has tried to "cancel" her, but she refuses to bend the knee.

The famous British writer is an example of tenacity in the face of the horde of progressive moralists.
J.K. Rowling, the British author world-renowned for creating Harry Potter, the hero of a globally successful saga, has been championing the rights of biological women against the trans lobby for several years. Now, she has taken a further step by launching a private fund to defend them, an initiative that has caused controversy.
In 2020, J.K. Rowling crossed the Rubicon of political correctness by daring to make a humorous remark on Twitter about the fact that only biological women have periods. Since then, the infernal machinery of progressive moral judgement has been whipped into a frenzy against her—strengthening her resolve to fight for this simple, common-sense truth: being a woman is first and foremost a biological reality.
Accused from all sides of being transphobic, abandoned by her fans, and booed by the actors of the Harry Potter films based on her books, Rowling has not budged an inch from her position—independent in her thinking and helped by the considerable fortune she has built on her literary successes.
Today, she is putting no less than $1.2 billion on the table to create the J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund, a wholly private fund to support organisations and individuals “fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”
The choice of structure is not insignificant: the form of a private fund allows her to retain complete control over it. Rowling explained on X that she does not wish to receive donations and invites potential supporters to direct their contributions to other organisations in need. The composition of the board is not yet known.
This is not the first time Rowling has funded initiatives to defend biological women. In 2022, she supported the launch in Edinburgh of a shelter exclusively for biological women who are victims of violence, excluding any ‘transgender’ men passing as women. In 2024, she donated £70,000 to the organisation For Women Scotland, which succeeded in bringing the recognition of trans women under the Scottish Gender Recognition Act before the British Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled in Rowling’s favour, stating that the words “man” and “woman” in the Act referred to the biological meaning of those terms—a major ideological victory in the fight against the trans lobby.
One of the objectives of the newly created fund will be to support other upcoming lawsuits to defend women’s rights. This is a cause close to Rowling’s heart: supporting women who have suffered violence at the hands of men who have transitioned and are incarcerated in women’s prisons, to the detriment of the safety and integrity of the latter.
Rowling’s testimony is admirable: despite the almost unanimous opposition of the film and arts world, she continues to fight her battle with rigour and method, putting her fortune at the service of a just cause—that of common sense.
