JK Rowling’s Tweets on Transgender People Spark Outrage

GLAAD, American non-governmental media monitoring organization founded by LGBT people in the media issued a response on Twitter, calling Rowling’s tweets “inaccurate and cruel.” The advocacy organization dedicated to LGBTQ equality then asked those upset by the author’s comments to support organizations that help black transgender people. “JK Rowling continues to align herself with an ideology which willfully distorts facts about gender identity and people who are trans,” GLAAD tweeted.
