J.K. Rowling endorses transphobic documentary by altright commentator Matt Walsh
"Produced by the conservative news site The Daily Wire, the documentary What is a Woman? is best known for creating controversy. Pitched as a film about gender identity, its host/narrator Matt Walsh is notoriously transphobic and was accused of using a fake company to trick trans people into participating under false pretenses. Released to coincide with Pride month (an obvious piece of anti-LGBTQ+ trolling), What is a Woman? was ultimately too niche to receive mainstream reviews.
Then on Sunday, J.K. Rowling complimented the movie on Twitter. Bizarrely, this crossover between Rowling and a far-right troll began with a controversy involving Macy Gray.
Quote-tweeting Matt Walsh to her 13.9 million followers, Rowling wrote, “women who stand up on this issue” receive “endless death and rape threats.” The issue in question is trans rights, with Rowling saying that cis women face harassment if they push back against trans women identifying as women. In the quoted tweet, Walsh had written, “women who publicly renounce the definition of “woman” for fear of mean comments from trans activists deserve all the scorn they get.”"
