Part 2/9:
Rowling's stance on biological sex and gender identity has sparked widespread outrage among certain activist circles. She made it clear that she believes men are men and women are women, emphasizing the importance of basic biological facts. This seemingly simple affirmation, which more than 99% of the world's population agrees with, was enough for her critics to accuse her of transphobia. The backlash included social media campaigns to boycott her work and label her a "transphobe," despite her publicly stating that she supports individuals living their lives freely.
