J.K. Rowling Says Her Royalty Cheques Let Her Sleep Despite Losing A Whole Audience

J.K. Rowling is always replying to her fans and haters. The successful author and creator of the wizarding world “Harry Potter” that’s grown into the franchise we know it is today. Now 57 years old, the author has recently also gained a number of haters, especially from the trans community that called her statements “anti-trans.”

Warner Bros has continued the successful franchise after finishing the main story with the prequel, “Fantastic Beasts.” Though, the fate of the Grindelwald character that used to be portrayed by Johnny Depp remains unknown, with only names of potential actors floating around as rumors.

But you can’t deny the popularity of her series. Fans around the world have united under their love for the series that has had a huge fandom, the setting of theme parks, rides, birthday parties, and even weddings.

So when it comes to this remark, J.K. Rowling was just unfazed.

“I read my most recent royalty cheques and find the pain goes away pretty quickly,” she snapped back.

She’s been labeled as a TERF (“trans-exclusionary” radical feminist) has seen many tell her how disappointed they were at her view of trans people.

She’s known for her takes on transwomen participating in sports as women against fellow biologically born women, the subject of compromising safe spaces for women, and similar topics. But the majority of the time, she talks about books, literature, and art.

Fans can’t help but feel the burn.

Others talk about how her books had helped children they know and themselves to pick up books and enjoy reading. Especially during the times when they didn’t use to enjoy it. One replied, “I’ve said it before, and it needs saying again I was a school governor in the mid-2000’s getting boys to read was a MASSIVE pedagogical issue to which there was no solution. And then along came the wonderful @jk_rowling. It is hard to exaggerate that effect.”

Another shared hers, “I have to say that you deserve every penny you receive. My nephew, like many boys, was struggling in his English classes, but after discovering (and devouring!) your books he obtained a solid pass and has never looked back having obtained a GCSE that every child needs to progress.”

The label TERF was attached to her since her June 2020 tweet when she shared, “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”
