“I’m So Sick Of This”: J.K. Rowling Scolds Sky News For Describing Transgender Killer As A “Woman”
JK Rowling has lashed out at Sky News after it described convicted murderer Scarlet Blake as a woman. She came out as transgender at 12.
“I’m so sick of this sh**,” Rowling wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, linking to a Sky News post that did not refer to the fact that Scarlet Blake is transgender. The Harry Potter author wrote: “The trans activist outrage that ensues on here whenever I share my belief that jailed women shouldn’t be used as validation tools or emotional support props for trans-identified male sex offenders is as revealing as it’s predictable. “Such activists can’t bring themselves to concede that a man who was convicted of harming women/girls ought not to be incarcerated with the demographic to whom he is a proven danger, because if they do, all their stock arguments (‘no sexual predator would bother to pretend to be trans’, ‘no trans woman has ever harmed a woman in a women’s only space’, ‘there is no danger in making all single sex spaces unisex’) are exposed as the lies they are.”
