J.K. Rowling has landed in another firestorm, and critics say she crossed a new line.
The ‘Harry Potter’ author is facing widespread backlash after posting what critics described as an upskirt photo of British trans podcaster Freda Wallace, escalating an online feud after Wallace declined Rowling's repeated invitations to debate her. The post included deadnaming and misgendering Wallace and sparked accusations of bullying and humiliation, with many questioning whether Rowling would have shared a similar image of a cisgender woman. Wallace has demanded the photo be removed, says she's considering legal action, and the controversy has once again thrust Rowling's years-long campaign against trans rights into the spotlight.
