    I agree with King.His positions on most issues are mine.
    Why she needs to malign trans people escapes me.
    Trans people just want to live their lives, no harm to anyone.

    1. Bob

      No harm to anyone would be nice if true. But she’s talking about people being harmed by someone else just living their life. Imagine you spend 10 years training to be an athlete at elite level, you complete and are tested for PEDs 10 times a year. One day, Suzanne rocks up with a sausage still dangling between her legs and smashes your record. But isn’t tested on the same strict basis for the 20 years of testosterone she took before transitioning. That is real harm, that is denying women their right to compete in sport. That is erasing women from the record books. That is Misogyny.

    She doesn’t have the clout to cancel Stephen King. Yes, I know of her success, but she still can’t hold a candle to him.

    JK Rowling spoke only the truth in her postings regarding “trans” people.

    So-called “transwomen” are typically non-intersex biological men who have chosen to adopt the imaginary, unnatural, restrictive gender roles created by society for biological women. Desiring to be a woman, and choosing to act the way mysoginist people define how a woman should behave, no more makes you a real woman than desiring to be a wolf, eating raw meat and running naked through the woods makes you a real wolf. You can’t change reality, no matter how you may wish otherwise.

    I’m with King! I don’t agree with anything Rowling says. She does have her opinions but she thinks nobody else’s counts. She is gonna turn a lot of people against her. Including her fans.

      Nobody agrees with anything you say either so that’s Fair enough. The issue is not JK Rowling herself or her personality or achievements Vs that of Stephen king. The issue is whether a man who believes he is a woman in a man’s skin should be allowed to parade themselves as ‘female’ and be accepted as such by other natural women. Yes they should and call themselves what they like but they should not be allowed to deprive genuine natural born women off their rights to fair competition knowing fully well that imagining or believing yourself to be something isn’t exactly the same as being that thing. It won’t work naturally and never will. So if you believe your real self is a lion or tiger and are uncomfortable with life as a man or woman then by all means go and live with a pride of lions and see whether they will naturally accept you into their pride. That’s the litmus test you and everyone else should take to prove the wrongness or rightness of what JK Rowling said.

    King cancels about 1000 people every day on Twitter. Call him a hypocritical cant, and he’ll block your account and report you to Twitter. He is the king of cancelling. Read his books someday too, he’s obsessed with using the “n” word, he uses the story of Noah’s son Ham many times in his works,. I’d not be surprised if his grandpa used to wear a white hood late at night. This is just a sad grab for attention by an ailing racist loser.

  6. Jo

    Who cancelled who? From what I read, JK cancelled/blocked SK possibly because of each other’s view points. Or Didi miss something?
    Either way I like & respect both authors.

  7. D Rich

    If sex is changeable, there is absolutely no reason race can’t be changeable.

  8. Jordan

    JK Rowling doesn’t have the power to cancel anyone. Much less Stephen King. Sounds like she is looking for attention to me.

  9. Kim Lee

    First, if you’re writing a story about one of the most popular authors of all time, spell his name right. It’s Stephen King, not Steven King. Don’t know what else your article says because, yeah, you spelled his name wrong.

    1. Mike

      100% agree with JKR. This “pretending” to be another sex or whatever has got to stop, it’s absolutely ridiculous. You’re either a Male or Female (whatever you were born as) and just because you want to be the other, biologically it’s not based in reality. I’ve always wanted to be a Transformer but no matter how much I want that, I’ll never be able to turn into a truck or car or whatever. I feel sorry for the people that are confused about themselves and have to wonder what went wrong in their lives to be so confused. It’s more sad than anything…

      1. Mohamnad Amin Jabbari

        I totally agree with you mike but unfortunately people hate to accept facts

  10. Jeff

    This is like a kid canceling an adult. Ok. Thanks kid. Good luck with ya.

  11. Mohamnad Amin Jabbari

    She has the full right to say whatever she pleased and no one neither stephen king have any right to cancel her and Im a stephen king fan

    I agree with JK Rowling, a surgically enhanced gender change or reassignment isn’t natural period, if it was then you would not need to enforce acceptance through political correctness lessons and media coercion. Acceptance will come naturally because a man is man by nature and woman is a woman by nature. Therefore I would not be able to see a woman who used to be a man as a natural woman and vice-versa. Maybe if she does not mention it and appears all out to be female then I will relate to her that way but the moment the cat is let out of the bag forget it. It’s only natural to be your natural self and honey whether you like it or not you are still you regardless of what you remove or add on to yourself physically. If you really don’t accept your natural gender then don’t expect that other people will accept you for what you’re really not, especially when they find that you used to be a different gender. Sadly the Western media often goes on a self-righteous course to enforce acceptance on society and often end up causing more damage than good to those concerned. It is enough that transgender people see themselves as different because they know they are not the natural physical gender they were born with and that people might find it difficult to accept their reassigned gender because they will see them as not only not having the full natural experience of manhood or femalehood e.g. puberty, menstruation, pregnancy or the ability to naturally impregnate nor the knowledge of what it is like to live in a natural man or a woman’s skin but are simply uncomfortable with their nature-assigned gender. Women in particular may also struggle with the moral dilemma of accepting a man who has lived a life of male privilege suddenly claiming to be female because he can afford the enhancement to do so. But the question is, is he really a natural woman or a plastic one? Does he really know whAt it is really like to be a natural woman especially if you were not born that way and have lived your life as a man. I think everyone should stay in their lane. If you transition into trans then let people recognise and accept you as transgender, don’t try to force people to accept you for what they struggle to see you as. And the media should stop stoking their self righteous embers by trying to forcefully change public attitudes through media-coercion and constant bullying of people including celebrities who have or express a different opinion based in how they see the world and not how the media wants them to see the world. That is a specific problem with the Western media where freedom of thought and speech is constantly being bashed by the media. Regarding those who decide to change gender it is your right to do so but do t expect everyone to be comfortable or accepting of it. It is not their business either so perhaps keep your issues to yourself if you do not want to hear other people’s contrary opinions cos you can’t force everyone to agree with ir accept your decision as natural or logical. But it is your right and it is their right to have their own views. In terms of facilities the best solution is to provide separate facilities like communal toilets etc for transfolk as most women would prefer to have separate toilets and changing rooms from men not only for privacy reasons but also for safety reasons and I wouldn’t feel comfortable changing in a room with someone I know was male or is still male but identifies as non binary. My naturally female instincts would struggle with that and I’m not sure I’d feel safe. So best to assign separate facilities for non binary or gender transformed folk to ensure that they too are given a safe space if their own.

    Simple. There are males and females. They are not the same and not interchangeable. If a man sees himself as a woman, it equal to a thin person seeing a fat person in the mirror. It is a mental defect, or sexual kink. Nothing more. They are not heroes. They need help, and therapy, not new genitalia. Most do not get the irreversible changes. They are playing at being something they aren’t. The ones that hack off their bits, well they are another level of not well.

    Just here to read about the conservative heads exploding over this.

    Made my own Galaxy’s Edge popcorn, and it’s just like being at the movies.

    Dang, y’all are so much fun to mock.

    Unfriending or blocking someone on social media is not cancelling. Starting an entire campaign against someone and requesting no companies ever deal with them and asking everyone to gang up against them is cancelling. King said more than that and naturally isn’t forthcoming about what he said. JK didn’t show him the same attitude at all. Even his description of his views here are worded in an obvious attempt to belittle her and to pretend her views are simple and largely based on toilet attacks. He responded like a juvenile 12 year and then pretended he was taking the high road. Guess what…science doesn’t cease to be science because a microscopic fraction of the planet want to force you to believe the fantasy they are playing to deal with their insecurities. Wisdom isn’t going to disappear because a group of morons are crying that other people won’t play their offensive game. Toodles.

    Stephen King says ” If a man says he is a woman, then he (she) is a woman (the science says otherwise). So by King’s logic I should be able to call myself Stephen King and have all the rights and privileges of him and his bank account, after all, what is a name as there is no actual science attached to it. When all is said and done and they dig up your bones you will be classed as 1 of 2 genders, that is science. When they find unidentifed bones in a shallow grave they will tell you the gender in the hope of being able to identify the person. Prove me wrong. Call yourself whatever you want, but how will science identify you?

    I’m not going to get into this debate. Because, frankly, it’s not worth it. But I will say a few things. A: blocking someone on Twitter does not equate to “canceling” them. B: the reason she blocked him was because of her embarrassing compliment she used, in regards to Mr King, when she thought that he was in tune with her thinking. Then, when he tweeted out that he felt transwoman are women(they’re not), she recanted that tweet and blocked him. All in the name of saving a little face. Not the classiest thing to do, but understandable, nonetheless. This whole narrative they are spinning about all of this, is ludicrous.SMH. It’s cute though, they don’t want the addition of “trans” to their preferred gender, because it feels exclusive. Yet, have no problem adding “CIS” to straight people’s description, to further differentiate normal folks from everyone else. Oh, the irony.

    An opinion is just a reflection of your life experience. Not everyone is on the same page. Just because someone has a different point of view doesn’t make them an enemy of your view. Her views on women’s issues need to be respected just the same as anyone else. I love Stephen King, but he’s not a member of the women’s community, and neither am I. I’m not going to tell her how she should feel and it’s wrong for others to presume to judge her heart. I’m all about inclusivaty, but making enemies is not the way.
