The new podcast series, 'The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling,' includes interviews with the 'Harry Potter' author. The first two episodes dropped Tuesday to much fervor as it promises to dig into controversies over Rowling's history of anti-trans rhetoric.
Rowling has been loudly criticized since she made a series of posts in 2020 that conflated sex with gender and defended ideas suggesting that changing one's biological sex threatens her own gender identity. Since then, Rowling has become an increasingly vocal activist.
Phelps-Roper frames Rowling’s life as a kind of feminist Cinderella story as she interviews the author in her literal castle. "Dress however you please," Rowling wrote."Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill". The op-ed piece included the phrase"people who menstruate" in an effort to be more inclusive.
