J K Rowling first became embroiled in the trans (or gender) wars after she leapt to the defence of Maya Forstater, a researcher whose contract was not renewed because she stated that trans women were not women. Her gender critical beliefs were deemed by the judge not worthy of respect, and she lost everything. #gender #jkrowling #lgb
