JK Rowling has faced fierce backlash for her views on transgender people, but now some celebrities are defending her opinions.
Various celebrities have come out in defense of author JK Rowling after it was speculated that she could be arrested after a new hate-crime law was introduced in Scotland.Before authoring any of the Harry Potter novels that would eventually establish her as a household name and make her one of the wealthiest people in the United Kingdom, English-born Rowling moved to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, in the 1990s.
''JK Rowling facing arrest for 'misgendering' ... absurd!' Jenner wrote in a post with 100,000 views. 'This has gone way too far! You can 'respect' people's pronouns or not. We cannot force or coerce this type of speech with the threats of jail time.'Jenner came out as a transgender woman in 2015 but has caused controversy with her desire to bar transgender people from competing in sports and prohibiting the teaching of gender identity in schools.
