"Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling slammed transgender activists on November 22 for publicizing her home address on social media, reported from NBC News.
On November 19 night, the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance, comedian Holly Stars, actor Georgia Frost and drag king Richard Energy staged a demonstration in front of Rowling's home near Edinburgh, Scotland, in protest against her controversial views on the trans community.
In a thread on Twitter, Rowling bashed the trio for ‘doxxing’ her when they posted a now-deleted photo on the social media site with her home address visible in the background. ‘Doxxing’ is the publication of someone’s private information online without their consent.
"I have to assume that @IAmGeorgiaFrost, @hollywstars and @Richard_Energy_ thought doxxing me would intimidate me out of speaking up for women’s sex-based rights,” Rowling wrote. "They should have reflected on the fact that I’ve now received so many death threats I could paper the house with them, and I haven’t stopped speaking out.”
"Perhaps - and I’m just throwing this out there - the best way to prove your movement isn’t a threat to women, is to stop stalking, harassing and threatening us,” she added.
The disagreement is the latest battle in a war between Rowling and trans activists. Over the last several years, Rowling has been criticized for her controversial views on the trans community, which some have called transphobic.
