J. K. Rowling criticized the "softening of history" when describing the hostility she faced for her views on transgender ideology.

The New York Times published a piece last week on transgender activists reevaluating their "all-or-nothing" approach and referred to the criticism faced by critics like Rowling as "harsh."

The article stated that J.K. Rowling's assertion that denying any connection between sex and biology was "deeply misogynistic and regressive" led to accusations from a prominent LGBTQ group that she was betraying "real feminism." In response, a few critics posted videos of themselves burning her books.

On Monday, the "Harry Potter" author criticized a mild description of the backlash, emphasizing that she and others have faced death threats and more.

Rowling posted that the rewriting of history has begun, and opponents of gender ideology have not just endured criticism but have been told they betrayed real feminism and received book-burning videos.

She continued, "I have received thousands of threats of murder, rape, and violence. A trans woman posted my family's home address along with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her, resulting in the doxxing of the wrong young woman. The consequences to me and my family pale in comparison to the harm done to others."

"By standing up to a movement that uses threats of violence, ostracism, and guilt-by-association, many of us have been smeared and defamed, and some have even lost their livelihoods. Some have been physically assaulted by trans activists. Female politicians have had to hire personal security due to police advice. The news that one of the UK's leading endocrinologists, Dr Hillary Cass, was advised not to travel by public transport for her own safety should shame everyone who allowed this insanity to run rampant."

Since the political landscape has shifted, some who've been riding high on their own supply are waking up with a hell of a hangover.

Rowling wrote that the attempt to rewrite history over the past decade is predictable but will not succeed. She does not believe those who have ignored or supported the persecution of non-believers would want to downplay the true cost of speaking out, but the idea that trans activists have gone too far is offensive.

Although a comprehensive examination of the consequences of gender ideology on individuals, society, and politics is yet to be conducted, I am confident that the results will be unpleasant and there will be too many of them to ignore.

Despite protests from transgender activists, HBO has declared its support for Rowling and her "Harry Potter" series adaptation for television.

A network spokesperson stated that J.K. Rowling has the right to express her personal views, while the focus will remain on the development of the new series, which will benefit from her involvement.
