Oh, J.K. Rowling, why couldn’t you have just stayed a beloved children’s author? Harry Potter enchanted a generation, encouraged millions of children to read, and created a fascinating new universe ripe with storytelling possibilities.
But, unfortunately, Rowling went on to catch a lethal case of the TERF mind virus and is now primarily famed for her cruelty, devoting her time and vast wealth to funding legal battles aimed at stripping rights from trans people.
Now, as a measure of how far she’s fallen, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has seen fit to mention her on their “Red Flag Alert” notice for the early signs of crimes against humanity:

The Institute is named after Raphael Lemkin, the famed lawyer and holocaust survivor who coined the term “genocide”. Formed of various experts in their fields, the institute’s goal is to identify the early indicators of genocide and provide guidance to stop it before it spirals into actual violence. They have eleven principles guiding them to do this, and point out that “genocide can happen to groups everywhere and that it is everyone’s responsibility to work to resist it.”
This “Red Flag Letter” draws attention to the continued legal, cultural, and, sadly, physical attacks on trans and intersex people in the United Kingdom, which are currently “stripping them of privacy and segregating them as ‘other'” – a key step on the path to future genocide.
Too far gone
Rowling is specifically mentioned due to her bankrolling a court challenge designed to strip “crucial protections and privacy” from trans people. Most people might have a “huh?” moment if they were called out for paving the way for a possible future genocide, but we doubt Rowling is going to lose any sleep over this..
After all, she’s gone far too deeply down the well to have even the remotest glimmer of self-awareness about the misery she’s causing in the world around her. Fortunately, in some ways, justice has already been served. Rowling could be living a dream life right now and savoring every possible pleasure the world has to offer.
Instead, she’s miserably tapping away on social media from a damp and moldy mansion in the middle of nowhere, Scotland. Her only friends are spiteful grinches, her fans dwindle each day, and every message she sends underlines the simple fact that she’s devoted her life to hatred and division. Becoming a TERF clearly hasn’t brought her happiness, so perhaps it’s best to just let her stew in the mess she’s made of her personal life and reputation?
