JK Rowling compares trans activists to ‘Islamic fundamentalists’ who want to ‘hang’ women
The behavior of extreme trans activists has indeed mimicked “Islamic fundamentalists” in several ways, such as degrading the rights of women and using violence. That is, however, where the similarity ends.
Also, aggressive trans activism which completely robs women of their spaces is limited to a small subculture of modern, Western woke activism. The sharia oppression of women — which has other very different characteristics and of which Rowlings refers to as “Islamic fundamentalism” — has a 1,400-year history.
Rick Warren - The Purpose-Driven Life, defined 'fundamentalist' as 'someone who has stopped listening'! He was right on. Furthermore, a fundamentalist is someone incapable of thinking 'outside the box' of their paradigms, and thus, can never really know the truth.
JK Rowling compares trans activists to Islamic fundamentalists who want to ‘hang’ women

May 7, 2025:
JK Rowling shows no signs of slowing down in her crusade against trans ideology despite victory in the Supreme Court last month. The Harry Potter author was among those celebrating when judges confirmed that ‘sex’ in the Equality Act was based on biology rather than identity.
The decision has been seen as a major victory for women’s sex-based rights but has been met with despair among trans activists. Rowling, 59, has now compared many in the trans lobby to Islamic fundamentalists.
In her latest musings on social media site X, Rowling responded to a video showing a rally in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka over the weekend. The clip shows men beating effigies of women and is in response to government proposals in the country to liberalise the country’s brutal women’s rights laws.
Rowling ‘quote tweeted’ the post and said: “‘Women who want sex-based rights should be punched and hanged’. Same vibe, different fundamentalist religion.”
The writer, who has sold over 600 million books worldwide, has faced death threats and abuse for her views while trans rallies have been marred by violent messaging towards women. In one particularly sinister incident, Nationalist politicians Kirsten Oswald, Stewart McDonald, Alison Thewliss and Kakaub Stewart were pictured in front of a sign that read “decapitate terfs”.
All four denied seeing the sign, with Rowling accusing them of "temporary blindness". Despite its message, no-one was ever charged with the sign.
It comes as Rowling's arch-nemesis Nicola Sturgeon refused to apologise for her part in the toxic gender debate in Scotland. The former first minister was instrumental in pushing through reforms that would have made it easier for men to 'identify' as women and access female-only spaces.
She labelled critics of the legislation, which was blocked by the UK Government, racists and transphobes but refused to back down when quizzed on Tuesday. She said she "fundamentally and respectfully disagreed" with those who want her to say sorry, and added: "The Supreme Court judgment, by definition, is the law of the land.
