Enabling children in attempting to change their gender will be seen as “one of the worst medical scandals in a century,” Harry Potter author and ardent feminist J.K. Rowling said this week.

Rowling, 57, who was once hailed as a feminist hero by the left — particularly because she wrote the first of the Harry Potter books while on unemployment benefit, which has been used as an argument for state handouts and even universal basic income ever since — before becoming an object of disdain over her rejection of modern transgender ideology, has once again called out the medical establishment and the woke left for pushing novel theories surrounding gender on young children.

Speaking on The Free Press’ podcast The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling, the acclaimed children’s author said: “We are watching one of the worst medical scandals in a century. Those that should have known better — the medics and those who have unquestionably cheered this on — are creating a climate in which those trying to raise red flags have been intimidated and silenced.”

“We’re dealing with children, in my view, being persuaded that a solution for all distress is lifelong medicalization. That is real-world harm. There’s no closing the book and walking away. There’s no playing with this, experimenting with this and not suffering harm, in my view… I certainly hope that for adults who have found no other way to resolve their gender dysphoria, transition may be the answer,” she added in comments reported by Fox News.

“I want to see those people protected. I want their rights protected. I wish them lives full of joy and fulfilment. But when we’re talking about children, I think that is a very different question.” (Read more from “J.K.
