The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling

I am from Russia and it was hard for me to understand the situation with J.K. Rolling. I think I’ve got it now. I also see that the problem is much deeper than it looks like. Thank you for your beautiful work! It is hard to hear another person when you’re both in pain. Too much pain. Through all this series I can’t stop asking, why people so aggressive with Rolling because of her tweets, and at the same time they allow all the hatred towards the Jews people. Rolling didn’t call to kill trans people, and society is trying to shut her up. Meanwhile any person can come and call to kill an israeli, and this is ok. It blows my mind

Don’t listen to the one star reviews telling you Joanne Rowling is transphobic and a bigot and therefore the podcast isn’t worth listening to. They clearly haven’t listened to the podcast, or have lost their ability to think critically. Or, maybe they are the same misogynistic people sending death threats/threats of sexual violence to Jo for daring to speak up because she cares about women and children. I binged this is one day while getting jobs done. Very informative, an excellent podcast 💚💚💚💚

I truly went into this series thinking it would be “balanced” and get into the specifics of the issues of transphobia and research, as it was recommended to me by a trans ally friend. So so disappointed to find it was nearly completely one-sided towards the trans-exclusionary radical feminist position, nearly non of JK’s opinions or even research when mentioned was questioned. The chats with the two trans people (just in one episode of 7!!) did not cover most of the things JK was saying. So disappointing that this was supported by an organisation for free speech. What a joke!

What an amazing podcast. I appreciated how you had many perspectives and it certainly enlightened me as to the current predicament we are in regarding the safe zones for women. It feels like all the struggles women went through to get to where we are are crumbling.
