JK Rowling's 'congratulations' post on Trump's ‘No Men in Women’s Sports’ executive order splits internet

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: JK Rowling, the author of ‘Harry Potter’, made a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) after President Donald Trump signed the ‘No Men in Women's Sports’ executive order on Wednesday, February 5, but ended up getting mixed reactions from people.

The president signed the executive order on National Girls and Women in Sports Day. It allows federal agencies authority to enact Title IX, making federally funded entities adhere to the interpretation of ‘sex’ as the gender assigned at birth.

JK Rowling’s ‘congratulations’ post as Trump signs executive order

Rowling wrote on X, “Congratulations to every single person on the left who’s been campaigning to destroy women’s and girls’ rights. Without you, there’d be no images like this.”

The social media post had a photo of Trump surrounded by female athletes as he held up the executive order he had just signed, as well as a message for “the left” who fought to allow biological males to compete in women's sports, according to Fox News.

Moreover, the ‘Harry Potter’ author further mentioned in another post that the “why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?” line is “utterly ridiculous,” per the outlet.

She wrote, “Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.”

Rowling added, “Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top-down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities, and even the police.”

She also suggested, “This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence, and circular arguments from your X feeds.”

Notably, Rowling has been an outspoken advocate for protecting women's sports in recent years and has shared her thoughts on the issue even when it could cost her her freedom, according to Fox News.
