J.K. Rowling Tells John Oliver To “Read The F****** Room” After He Roasted Right-Wing Rage At Trans Athletes


J.K. Rowling and John Oliver are facing off again over the issue of transgender athletes following the latter's latest 'Last Week Tonight' episode.

On Sunday, Oliver dedicated the main section of Last Week Tonight to the GOP and MAGA manosphere’s “obsession” with transgender competitors and banning them in sports, especially via legislation aimed at the school level. In a post on X/Twitter on Monday, Rowling responded: “I understand why men like Oliver, who’ve consistently mocked anti-science people on the right, sold out initially. I can’t imagine anyone being so far up their own backside they haven’t noticed that this nonsensical crap is facing a massive grassroots backlash, that it loses elections and that girls and women are being harmed.”
