J.K. Rowling, author of the beloved “Harry Potter” children’s books, scorched her woke critics on Twitter in a Sunday tweet, blasting several accounts for appearing to have copied and pasted tweets criticizing her.
Rowling shared, in her tweet, screenshots of two pairs of duplicate tweets attacking her. In each of the tweets, the person tweeting claimed to have a trans child who was greatly hurt by Rowling’s opinions on the trans issue.
One tweet, posted by @EGA_Kaaa and @MarkoWoat2, said, “My trans daughter used to love your books, but after you became a bigot she cried and asked me ‘daddy, why do people hate those who are different from them?’ I don’t know, baby, I don’t know.”
The other tweet, posted by @SSEpikal and @SoyzSoy3 said, “JK Rowing, i have a 12 year old trans daughter and she cries every time she reads one of your transphobic posts. She is a huge fan of Harry Potter, but but seeing the author of her favorite book series being so bigoted is heartbreaking. Please, J.K, make my daughter happy again.”
Rowling, mocking those woke critics and their made up stories, said, “My one-year-old son just looked up from Twitter and said, ‘Mummy, why have you made these very real children sad with your heinous yet unevidenced bigotry?’ Then he ran upstairs and burned all his Potter books. I was so damn ashamed I almost forgot the kid was imaginary.”

This isn’t the first time that Rowling has absolutely skewered her woke critics on Twitter. She also did so recently when news of the HBO Harry Potter show came out and the usual suspects freaked out that she is involved with it, as we reported on The American Tribune, saying:
All it took for JK Rowling to demolish her haters was a single tweet about the upcoming HBO Harry Potter show, which HBO claims will faithfully follow the books.
Posting about the upcoming show on Twitter, Rowling said, “Dreadful news, which I feel duty bound to share. Activists in my mentions are trying to organise yet another boycott of my work, this time of the Harry Potter TV show. As forewarned is forearmed, I’ve taken the precaution of laying in a large stock of champagne.”
As background, Rowling is a feminist who has enraged the transgender lobby with her refusal to fully support them. That started when, in response to a woman being fired for arguing that sex is real, Rowling said, “Dress however you please. 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” She has since stuck by that stance on Twitter, further engaging the far-left.
That has led to even conservatives sticking by her, despite her generally left-wing views, as a partner in the resistance to the transgender mania. Robby Starbuck for example, commenting on the “#IStnadWithMaya” tweet, said, “Can’t believe I’m defending you but you’re right. You can’t fire someone for believing in simple biology. Sex is sex & it’s determined at birth. People can identify later, I don’t begrudge them doing what makes them happy as an adult but you can’t force everyone to deny science.”
As a result, whenever some new Harry Potter media is announced, they freak out, claiming it’s “anti-trans.”
Such was the case with the upcoming Harry Potter show, with the usual suspects losing their mind over Rowling assisting HBO in producing the show, For example, a reporter named Sean Collins said, “If you interview an actor or filmmaker or executive involved with the Harry Potter tv show and don’t lead with a question about JK Rowling leading a hate group you’re done, over, out of the art club.”
