J.K. Rowling will not back down in the 'transgender' war against women
One of my examples for the principle that good art is inherently conservative is J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, which essentially plays out the West's war against radical Islam and ends with a giant nod to the Bible. Whatever J.K. Rowling's intentions, her art is true. Now Rowling is fighting for truth in her own life, doing battle against those men who claim to be women and, under that label, are relentlessly denying women their unique, biological femininity. Most recently, the ungrateful children who became rich and famous playing her characters have been silent as she was kept from a reunion, and, more seriously, angry fake women have doxxed her.
Rowling's war for women began last June when the British Employment Tribunal ruled against Maya Forstater, a so-called "TERF" — i.e., a "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist." Forstater's "radical" position was saying that men cannot become women, no matter how much they insist that they are. For holding that purely factual view, and challenging proposed amendments to Britain's "Gender Recognition Act of 2004," Forstater lost her job, a ruling that the tribunal affirmed. (You can read more about it here.)
And that's where J.K. Rowling comes in: she had the temerity to support Forstater's claim that men are not women and that biological sex is real. (Interestingly, Twitter hasn't deleted the tweet or suspended Rowling's account.)

Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill
Rowling doubled down on her "wrongthink" when she posted a delicately snarky tweet about the ludicrous way leftists (including those in medicine) are avoiding the word "women" in favor of the phrase "people who menstruate" (and again, Twitter didn't delete it):
‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?

For stating the truth, Rowling has become untouchable. HBO is doing a 20th-anniversary special celebrating the first Harry Potter movie, and Rowling has been conspicuously ignored:
J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, will not participate in HBO Max's upcoming 20-year anniversary special for the franchise amid controversy over her remarks about gender.
HBO Max listed some of the iconic actors from the franchise participating in the special, such as Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, but notably omitted J.K. Rowling in an announcement for the special Tuesday, as the author faces backlash for mocking the use of the term "people who menstruate."
As one of the richest women in the world, Rowling can survive being untouchable. However, that's not good enough for so-called "transgender women," who combine the aggression of men, the emotionalism of women, and the mental illness of "transgenderism." Three of them decided to dox Rowling by taking a photo in front of her house with her address conspicuously visible. Rowling pushed back...hard:
Last Friday, my family’s address was posted on Twitter by three activist actors who took pictures of themselves in front of our house, carefully positioning themselves to ensure that our address was visible. 1/8

I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who reported the image to @TwitterSupport. Your kindness and decency made all the difference to my family and me. I’d also like to thank @PoliceScotland for their support and assistance in this matter. 2/8

I implore those people who retweeted the image with the address still visible, even if they did so in condemnation of these people’s actions, to delete it. 3/8

None of these women are protected in the way I am. They and their families have been put into a state of fear and distress for no other reason than that they refuse to uncritically accept that the socio-political concept of gender identity should replace that of sex. 6/8

I have to assume that @IAmGeorgiaFrost, @hollywstars and @Richard_Energy_ thought doxxing me would intimidate me out of speaking up for women’s sex-based rights. They should have reflected on the fact that 7/8

I’ve now received so many death threats I could paper the house with them, and I haven’t stopped speaking out. Perhaps – and I’m just throwing this out there – the best way to prove your movement isn’t a threat to women, is to stop stalking, harassing and threatening us. 8/X

Bravo! The ratio on these tweets is completely in Rowling's favor (meaning that many more people have liked and retweeted her than have commented). Britain's gay paper, PinkNews, immediately lied about what she did:

In a free country, people can do what they will in their private lives. That's not what's happening here, though. The LGBTQ++ agenda is the greatest gift the left ever had. Through that agenda, it's able to take ownership of children's bodies, break up the nuclear family, and force people to say 2+2=5, the ultimate in totalitarianism.
Most recently, in the name of gender equity, the $1.9-trillion Build Back Better bill that the House just passed denies any funds to religiously run childcare facilities. Given that 53% of families place their children in such religiously associated facilities, by denying them money and while incentivizing non-religious preschools and daycares, the administration clearly means to starve those institutions to death.
Rowling is to be commended for taking a stand against the enormous pressure on people in the West to say 2+2=5 in the form of the big lie that men and women can magically change their sex with wishes, surgery, and hormones.
