The ten ‘trans women’ that Rowling dared to label as ‘men’
JK ROWlING singled out ten trans women in her social media post. After writing about each person, the author added: ‘April Fools! Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren’t women at all, but men, every last one of them.’ They were:
BETH DOUGLAS: Suspended from her post as co-convenor for the Scottish Green Party’s LGBT wing last year after a series of ‘violent’ tweets. Photos showed her posing with knives and an axe captioned: ‘I heard yall hate trans women, knives and axes.’
ISLA BRYSON: Double rapist convicted of attacks in 2016 and 2019 while known as Adam Graham but was initially sent to a women’s jail. Public outcry saw Bryson – considered at high risk of reoffending – moved to a men’s prison and prompted a change in Scotland’s policy.
KATIE DOLATOWSKI: Avoided a prison sentence after sexually assaulting a ten-year-old girl in a supermarket and filming a 12-year-old girl over a toilet cubicle. She was subsequently held at a women’s prison after breaching a restriction of liberty order in 2022.
SAMANTHA NORRIS: Acquitted by a jury over two charges of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and indecent exposure to two 11-year-old girls. She was later convicted of three charges after being caught with 16,000 ‘abhorrent’ indecent images of children.
AMY GEORGE: Abducted a primary school pupil while dressed as a woman, before sexually assaulting her for more than 2 hours. At the time known as Andrew Miller, the former butcher lured the girl into a car after offering to give her a lift home.
GIULIA VALENTINO: Caused an outcry after she was allowed to play Gaelic football – at the time aged 30 – against young female players. Had moved to Ireland from Italy and took up Gaelic football after she was injured playing for a rugby club.
MRIDUL WADHWA: Chief executive of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, she has previously
claimed rape victims who do not want support from men are ‘bigoted’. She later claimed her remarks had been taken out of context before adding that rape victims should be ‘challenged’ if ‘clearly prejudiced’.
MUNROE BERGDORF: The model was dropped as Childline’s first ‘LGBT+ campaigner’ over her Twitter/X posts which breached its safeguarding rules. Previously dropped by L’Oreal over claim that all white people were guilty of ‘racial violence’, she was appointed as the first UN Women’s UK Champion.
KATIE NEEVES: A trans activist appointed as UK ambassador to the UN Commission On The Status Of Women, who has confessed to stealing her sister’s underwear as a boy.
INDIA WILLOUGHBY: Britain’s first transgender newsreader reported Rowling to police after the author referred to her as a man. Willoughby, who has cohosted ITV’s Loose Women, later said the incident had been logged by Northumbria Police as a ‘non-crime hate incident’. She called Rowling’s social media thread ‘a sad pathetic sight’.
