JK Rowling falls silent as she could be prosecuted in Imane Khelif lawsuit
"Harry Potter" author Rowling has been absent from social media for several days, after erroneously calling female Olympic boxer Khelif a "man."
Author J.K. Rowling has fallen silent on her usually busy X (formerly Twitter) feed, after Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif filed a legal complaint in France for alleged cyber harassment over statements regarding her gender.
On August 9, lawyers for Khelif filed a lawsuit with a special unit of the public prosecutor's office in Paris, stemming from false statements that spread online about her gender after the Algerian boxer defeated Italy's Angela Carini in her first fight of the 2024 Olympic Games. Carini pulled out 46 seconds into the bout and told reporters afterwards that she had "never felt a punch like this."

Wheres the evidence she 'never failed a gender test' that was the fact that made everyone upset. Jk did nothing hundreds of thousands of other ppl who read the articles about this also said. You gender warriors are nuts, your hate for this woman is hilarious.
It's impossible to prove that someone ‘never failed a gender test’ you can only prove that someone passed or failed a specific test. Maybe if you understood logic and critical thinking a bit better it might help you in your life. I'd recommend learning.
By "this woman," do you mean Rowling? Are you sure she's a woman? Has she taken a gender test?
You mean Robert Galbraith? JK is a little gender fluid anyway.
I get where you're coming from. But she has popped a crotch goblin out in the past, which is a pretty good indication of womanhood. (Side note: I'm not saying if a woman can't or won't have kids they aren't a woman, because they clearly still are. But if a woman does give birth to a child it's usually a strong sign of that gender.)
ETA: If this prospective lawsuit can shut Rowling up long-term that would be fantastic. Like many others, I'm tired of her spewing hateful shit out.
How do you know she did? Were you at the birth? Have you seen video? How do you know the child wasn't adopted?
I know men who've given birth, and women who haven't, so I'm not sure it means what you think it means...
That's why I said it's usually a strong indication.
Your comment makes no sense though. If a woman is a woman, she's a woman whether or not she gives birth. And if someone isn't a woman, giving birth doesn't change that. So how is it a strong sign of that gender?
A woman giving birth is a good indication that she's cis, but if you didn't already know her gender, it wouldn't indicate anything about it except for the assumptions that others have about it...
I totally believe Algeria sent a transwomen to the olympics...
For the record: Being trans is highly illegal in Algeria
Wheres the evidence she ‘never failed a gender test’ that was the fact that made everyone upset.
Yeah, where's the proof of this negative?!? /s
Now we just need your proof that your hero JD Vance never fucked a couch.
Hundreds of people hung people of color from trees without a fair trial. They are still guilty whether or not others did so.
You gender warriors are nuts,
I don't make having opinions on gender and pronouns a cornerstone of my income like JK does. The loudness of the pro-trans community is entirely a response to the opposition trans people face. Want trans people to "get over it"? Get over it yourself first.
I wonder if people like you also wanted the Irish to "get over it" back in the day. Don't hear too much about Irish Pride these days, do you? Did they quite down when hating the Irish left the vogue or did their pride just get normalized? Probably a bit of both, but do you get wound up around St. Patrick Day? Well, you're from a uk instance, so maybe you do.
