J.K. Rowling criticized radical transgender activists in a lengthy post, particularly those who allowed biological women to be used as “props” to justify housing trans-identifying male sex offenders in women’s prisons.
She argued this defense of predators prevents acknowledging that men convicted of harming women should not be incarcerated with them, as it exposes flaws in arguments like no predator would pretend to be trans and there is no danger in unisex spaces.
Rowling said if activists admit even one man isn’t a woman just for saying so, their ideology falls apart.
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…

She claimed they have nowhere to go but accusations of transphobia.
Rowling said, “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.”
“If they admit that even a single man isn’t a woman because he says he is, the entire edifice of gender identity ideology crumbles,” revealed Rowling.
“This leaves activists who rely on bullying and slogans with nowhere to go but ‘you hate all trans people’, ‘so you’re saying all trans people are rapists’ and, of course, ‘you are causing a trans genocide.’ I think this particular issue also causes conniptions because it threatens the activists’ self image,” she continued.
Adding, “These are people who preen themselves on their kindness and virtue, so acknowledging the truth — that they’re indifferent to vulnerable women being assaulted or traumatised — threatens the idea they have of themselves.”
Rowling explained, “They therefore double down. The prisoners complaining aren’t really afraid of rape or voyeurism or violence at all, they say. They’re ‘not exactly delicate flowers’, as one self-identified empath put it. If you support putting violent and sexually predatory men into women’s prisons, you are knowingly forcing those women to live in fear of, and, in some proven cases, to suffer abuse that many of them will have endured pre-incarceration.”
She concluded, “You are not kind. You are not righteous. Women have the basic human right not to suffer cruel and unusual punishment.”
