J.K. Rowling commits her wealth to dismantling trans rights

Author J.K. Rowling, famous for her Harry Potter series, has been leading the charge online against trans people and trans rights, especially in the United Kingdom.

Now it seems she is angling to use more of her wealth to challenge trans rights in various areas.

Keep reading to know more.

J.K. Rowling has been vocal about her feelings toward transgender people. In recent years, she has become one of the most vocal voices in the United Kingdom against trans rights.

The famous fantasy writer holds firm in her belief that trans women should not be equated with those born biologically female. And those policies or laws that allow for this to happen are detrimental to women’s rights.

Rowling also does not spare anyone she deems to be a trans woman. She targeted Olympic boxer Imane Khelif, believing her to be a trans woman. She called Khelif male on several occasions. As a result, when Khelif won at the Olympics, she filed a lawsuit for cyber harassment, with Rowling being one of the defendants named in the suit.

The original cast for the Harry Potter series, which includes actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, have all made clear that they oppose Rowling’s views on trans people.

The writer has now announced plans to create a private foundation through which she says “offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.” She has plans to direct the funds she makes through royalties and beyond to her cause.

When a decision that helped curb rights for trans people in the United Kingdom had been reached, Rowling posted an image of herself with a celebratory drink and cigar in her hand, with a caption that read, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

She has also set up a fund for women to get legal funding when fighting for their sex-based rights in the workplace.

The writer also funds various organizations, including ‘For Women Scotland’, an organization which is also very vocal about their belief about trans women and those born biologically male.

All in all, it seems that J.K. Rowling is not going to back down from her belief set and is insistent on funding her beliefs.

More people are coming out as Aegosexual – here’s what it means

As discussions around sexuality become more layered, so does the vocabulary used to describe them. One term now drawing attention is aegosexual, an “identity-less” experience that’s defined by “disconnection.” With gender and sexuality now part of everyday conversation, it’s no surprise that a growing number of new labels are finding their way into the mainstream. Aegosexuality, part of the asexual spectrum, describes people who experience arousal or desire without wanting to engage in sexual activity. At its core, the identity centers on a disconnect between experiencing attraction and wanting to personally act on it. ‘Disconnection’ The concept was first introduced in 2012 by Canadian psychologist and sexologist Anthony Bogaert, who originally referred to it as “autochorissexualism.” Bogaert described the experience as an “identity-less sexuality,” that’s “characterized by a disconnection between their sense of self and a sexual object or target.” In practical terms, someone wh...

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...
