“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling refused to stop being a feminist in favor of woke demands in places where being a trans-advocate conflicts with feminism and many have pointed out that she damaged her legacy by it. Most pointing this out, however, don’t do so in order to note her courage as a strong independent woman, but to criticize and mock her for not bending the knee to the latest terms that increasingly powerful elements of Cultural Marxism demands. Rowling remains politically Leftist/Progressive, pro-trans and a trans-advocate, but has consistently stood up for the reality that women exist, which causes the increasingly dominant wing of wokeism to smear her as anti-trans.
Other feminist icons such as “Handmaid’s Tale” author Margaret Atwood have pointed out the same things as Rowling, such as the insanity of making the use of the word “woman” a controversial taboo that is somehow insensitive to the gender dysphoric, but the woke condemnation of these female-identifying-persons doesn’t meet that of Rowlings because Rowlings work was so much more influential and celebrated among the generation that has also been indoctrinated into believing things like “the use of the word ‘woman’ is offensive”.
The efforts to smear the creator of the HarryPotterverse over her position that some experiences are in fact inherent to biological female life have been wholly ineffective in getting her to shut up on the subject so lately many of her haters have tried using an appeal to her legacy to help argue the point. The thinking is that if they can’t bully her into submission, then perhaps they can extort her into bending the knee under threat of being tarnished in history as a horrible person for her mainstream views.
Yes, sweetheart. I'm staying right here on this hill, defending the right of women and girls to talk about themselves, their bodies and their lives in any way they damn well please. You worry about your legacy, I'll worry about mine 😉 https://t.co/wLekwpMQEe

Rowling, at this time, has expressed no interest to negotiate with terrorists.
What you and your ilk fail to appreciate is how tediously familiar I find your tactics. I had a violent ex-husband who used to tell me life would be great if only I’d comply, but you’re making the same mistake he did. Women like me can’t be bullied out of resistance. pic.twitter.com/039pBtFtNT
