Joanne Rowling
Poznata autorica Harry Potter serijala, J. K. Rowling, unazad nekoliko godina mnoge obožavatelje razočarala je svojim kontroverznim komentarima o transrodnim osobama, a kod nekih je izazvala i bijes.
Say what you like about gender identity ideology, you can't deny it's attracted some of the world's greatest thinkers. pic.twitter.com/AaP9fQ89w4

Komentare, zbog kojih je prozvana TERF-om (trans-ekskluzivna radikalna feministica), uz fanove franšize kritizirale su i mnoge zvijezde njenih filmova, poput Emme Watson.
Polemika o njenim izjava, na društvenim mrežama, opet se pokrenula zbog najave nove Harry Potter serije koju će Rowling osobno producirati.
They’re remaking Harry Potter again either because they’re not creative enough to come up with new ideas that’ll sell and/or because Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson all spoke out against JK Rowling’s transphobia and she doesn’t want them associated as the leads. https://t.co/720iApnKjq

Na kritike zgroženih Potterheadsa koji osuđuju njene izjave te zbog njene umiješanosti u produkciji serije pozivaju javnost na bojkot, spisateljica je odgovorila sarkastičnom objavom.
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.

„Strašne vijesti koje se osjećam dužnom podijeliti. Aktivisti pokušavaju organizirati još jedan bojkot mog rada, ovaj put TV serije Harry Potter. Kao što je unaprijed rečeno, unaprijed sam se naoružala, poduzela sam mjere opreza i pripremila veliku zalihu šampanjca“, podijelila je na svom Twitter profilu.
I want you to know that from Mexico we always support you, here you have many unconditional fans ❤️. You are our hero and our favorite author. We'll have a glass of champagne with you.

Iako je većina komentatora reagirala negativno na njenu objavu, neki su joj ipak pružili podršku.
