JK Rowling opened a rape crisis center that excludes trans women
"JK Rowling announced the launch of a privately funded, women-only sexual assault crisis center on Monday. Located in Edinburgh, Scotland, where the Harry Potter author lives, Beira’s Place will offer free support for cisgender women who have experienced sexual assault at any point in their lives.
However, it will reportedly exclude transgender women.
“I founded Beira’s Place to provide what I believe is currently an unmet need for women in the Lothians area,” Rowling, who is personally funding the facility, told the BBC. “As a survivor of sexual assault myself, I know how important it is that survivors have the option of women-centred and women-delivered care at such a vulnerable time.”
“Beira’s Place will offer an increase in capacity for services in the area and will, I hope, enable more women to process and recover from their trauma,” she added."
