J. K. Rowling has again fallen victim to ‘cancel culture’ after a literary festival in New Zealand scrapped plans for a Harry Potter-themed event over her comments on gender issues.
Peter Biggs, chairman of the Wairarapa book festival, reportedly decided to drop the annual children’s quiz that is usually held on the boy wizard following consultations with the LGBTQ community.
It is not the first time that Ms Rowling has been ‘cancelled’ as a result of expressing her views on whether men who identify as women are the same as biological females.

JK Rowling has a lively imagination, but even she cannot quite imagine men becoming women as anything other than a product of some, as yet unnamed, dark lord...
That pesky Y chromosome thing and significant sexual dimorphism (real settled science) puts the lie to the Left’s mantra that gender is a social construct.
Interesting—Caitlyn (born Bruce) Jenner
has said trans women shouldn’t compete
in girls sports.One headline I saw
said the trans community is dreading
Jenner’s run for governor as her/his/its party, the Republicans, want to
“decimate trans’ rights”.
So
—trans females were born male but want
to compete in female sports (pardon me
for saying there are only two genders
by the way). Unfair advantage...
—MA prison inmate Robert “Michelle”
Kosilek claims to be a trans woman.
While he/she/it successfully got the
state to pay for some gender altering
I believe Kosilek is still in a men’s
prison. Kosilek murdered his (whatever’s) wife.
The world is now being dominated by queers who make up maybe 5% of the population.
Wonder if the publisher of the Potter
books—Scholastic I believe— will stop
printing and selling them. Quite a few
were sold and several films made. Cancel
culture, right?
I think the story went that every publisher but Scholastic turned her first
book down, believing it wouldn’t sell.
Also she preferred to by billed the way she is, not by her name of Jennifer
Rowling because she felt boys wouldn’t
want to read a book by a woman.
To BE billed
JK Rowling is untouchable so she doesn’t really care if her shows get cancelled. No matter what anyone thinks of her she has several hundred lifetime’s worth of money and all the fame she ever wanted. The amusing part is that she was a big Lib Trump hater so we can enjoy her getting a taste of her own medicine, even if it really doesn’t affect her.
Jk’s net worth is a billion dollars.
All this does is upset fans.
Black mail and extortion.
255 California prison inmates identify as transgender, nonbinary so they can be moved to women’s prisons

How many still have a penis? I expect most. How many are working the system? Tell me this won’t cause huge problems.

Slightly different angle on the whole thing, but the same idea at work.
Thought police.
The North Island people are like California liberals...
Remember “we just want to live our lives. We’re not hurting anyone”? Now it’s total compliance or else.
A phobia is often defined as an irrational fear. More recently some definitions have included the word intolerance. Some medical definitions include symptoms such as sweating, increased heart beat and anxiety.
J.K. Rowling is not being irrational and my guess is that she is not experiencing any of the other symptoms of a phobia. The word is being used to discredit her opinion without having to look at facts.
As to intolerance, There is another phobia that may apply, and it may include some of the other symptoms. Allodoxaphobia is mostly found in medical dictionaries, and is used to describe the fear of other’s opinions.
THAT is what I find fundamentally repellent about all this.
In the past, you could have said with a shrug:
"Look, what you do with your own life is your business. I'm not interested in getting it on with a guy saying he is a girl who is a Lesbian who rebels by wanting to have non-lesbian sex with a guy..."
and sane people would understand the insanity inherent in people that engage in those mental gymnastics expecting others to accept it and play along.
In a sane world.
Used to be called ‘degenerates’.
Degenerates.
