JK Rowling has reignited debate on gender identity policies, critiquing their potential conflict with safeguarding women and girls. She highlighted perceived hypocrisy within progressive circles, contrasting #MeToo’s focus on male predation with support for policies allowing individuals to access facilities based on self-declared gender identity. Rowling referenced a Canadian incident where a muscular man in a sparkly bikini used a female changing room, upsetting young girls. The facility defended its inclusivity policies under human rights laws, suggesting uncomfortable individuals use private spaces instead. The mother involved criticized the lack of consideration for women’s safety, echoing broader concerns about similar incidents.
