J.K. Rowling Sparks Controversy With Mother’s Day Message Trolling Inclusive Language


J.K. Rowling has sparked more controversy after she shared a message on Mother's Day, which is being celebrated on Sunday, March 10 in the UK.

“Happy Birthing Parent Day to all whose large gametes were fertilised resulting in small humans whose sex was assigned by doctors making mostly lucky guesses,” Rowling posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Devastated and bewildered that my embrace of inclusive language has angered its most enthusiastic devotees,” Rowling shared before adding, “So let’s just say: Happy Mother’s Day to all females who’ve raised children.” “Aware as I am that it’s an offence to lie to law enforcement, I’ll simply have to explain to the police that, in my view, India is a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can’t compel women to take him at his own valuation.”
