JK Rowling's criticism of gender ideology intensifies after Trump executive order: "They didn't listen"

Upon taking office on Monday, President Trump promptly addressed "woke" gender ideology and received a response from a well-known progressive critic of left-wing gender ideology.

"J. K. Rowling wrote in an X post Monday that a noisy part of the left still refuses to acknowledge the calamity of their embrace of gender identity ideology, despite Scottish journalist Susan Dalgety's criticism of "the left/progressives" for leaving it up to Trump to confirm the "material reality of sex.""

Rowling stated, "The right capitalized on their betrayal of women and girls, despite being warned."

On Monday, Trump issued an executive order requiring government entities to use "sex" instead of "gender" and mandating government-issued identifications to adhere to an individual's immutable biological classification as either male or female.

In his inaugural speech, Trump emphasized the "male and female" theme while presenting his plan for the next four years.

Conservatives on social media expressed support for the rhetoric and declared that "radical woke gender ideology" had been defeated in a "massive win for America."

The author of the "Harry Potter" series, J.K. Rowling, has sparked controversy on social media regarding gender ideology, labeling terms such as "cisgender" as "ideological language" and challenging a Scottish "Hate Crime" act by daring police to arrest her for her criticisms of the transgender movement.

She frequently clashes with her critics on X, arguing for single-sex spaces, safeguarding sports for biological women, and encouraging others who share her beliefs. She has persistently rejected accusations of being "transphobic," asserting that she supports trans individuals' right to live authentically and comfortably.

Trump signed executive actions to reverse Biden-era policies on domestic energy, border security, and DEI in government shortly after taking office.
