Harry Potter Profits Funding Anti-Trans Organization as J.K. Rowling Launches 'Women's Fund'
The author of Harry Potter will be using her personal wealth to found the J.K. Rowling Women's fund
Author J.K. Rowling is using her earnings from the Harry Potter franchise to found an anti-trans organization focused on "fighting to retain women's sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces."
The only people who consider it 'anti-feminist' to point out that a woman is a woman by virtue of her biology are those who think female-specific anatomy or bodily functions are inferior in some way, that bearing young is a lowly, worthless occupation, or that misogynist social… pic.twitter.com/3o5YXdwS4v

The author of Harry Potter will be using her personal wealth to found the J.K. Rowling Women's fund, which is dedicated to taking away the rights of transgender individuals "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces."
"It provides women with the means and confidence to bring to justice cases that make legal precedents, force policy change, and make positive contributions to women's lives in the future," reads the organization's website.
"Pretending sex differences don't matter does nothing to advance the lot of women and girls. Promoting the idea that men can become women by performing their idea of what a woman is - which, funnily enough, often turns out to be a pornified sex object - does not liberate women and girls," Rowling said in a statement announcing the organization on X.
"The attempt to redefine the word 'woman' by dismissing female biology benefits only the men who've been eagerly helping themselves to women's protected spaces, sport, opportunities and honours - or, in the Fox Batterer's case, who've jumped eagerly onto the movement's coattails because they're spotlight addicts and believe they'll go down in history as Genderism's Gandhi," she continued.
"I looked into all options and a private fund is the most efficient, streamlined way for me to do this," Rowling said. "Lots of people are offering to contribute, which I truly appreciate, but there are many other women's rights orgs that could do with the money, so donate away, just not to me!"
Rowling, who has a net worth of over $1 billion, has previously put her fortune towards cases that pertain to women's sex-based rights. In 2024, she donated £70,000 (roughly $88,200) to the anti-trans group For Women Scotland, the same group that challenged a 2018 Scottish law that legally recognized trans women as women.
