J.K. Rowling Accidentally Pastes Language From Transphobic Blog Post Along With "Ickabog" Art

J.K. Rowling Accidentally Pastes Language From Transphobic Blog Post Along With "Ickabog" Art

J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series who recently published a free, online children's story called The Ickabog, has once again angered the internet with her online behavior.

Last Friday, Rowling shared fan art from a nine-year-old of the titular "Ickabog," claiming she loved it. She then posted a complete non-sequitur that read "In court, Wolf claimed the Facebook post in which he'd said he wanted to 'fuck up some TERFs' was just 'bravado.'"

Rowling quickly deleted the tweet, claiming she "accidentally pasted in part of a very un-Ickaboggish message I'd just received."

It appears Rowling had pasted the text from a piece from Feminist Current covering the conviction of trans woman Tara Wolf for assault. The piece consistently misgenders Wolf, calling her a "trans-identified male" throughout the text.

While Twitter criticized her for sharing transphobic writing, Rowling stated she had had enough of "authoritarianism and censorship," saying "accusations of thought crime leave me cold."

This is hardly the first time Rowling has appeared to flirt with Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism on Twitter. In December last year, Rowling drew criticism for jumping into the #IStandWithMaya hashtag in support of a woman who was fired after tweeting anti-trans sentiments. In 2018 she liked a tweet calling trans women "men in dresses," though her representatives say it was also done by accident.
