HARRY Potter author JK Rowling made a rare public appearance to speak at a women’s rights conference branded “transphobic” by campaigners.
“I will always be able to feed my family,” Rowling, who is worth around £875 million according to the 2023 Sunday Times Rich List, said.“I’ve looked around and realised that it has to be someone who can take the hit. And it has to be me. I can afford it.” However, the FiLiA event faced controversy as around 70 protesters demonstrated outside the Platform venue in Glasgow on the first day, claiming it was “transphobic”.
Rowling had previously taken aim at the FiLiA protesters on social media, sharing a short clip of activists singing the chorus of Lily Allen’s song “F*** you”. However, she went on: “Many of the speakers have historically had very anti-trans positions. FiLiA itself supports a definition of women’s sex-based rights that is transphobic by definition.
