JK Rowling Criticized After Posting Image Of Trans Woman That Exposed Under Her Skirt

JK Rowling is facing criticism after posting a photo of trans political commentator Freda Wallace on Twitter that appeared to expose under her skirt. The image was accompanied by a caption in which Rowling repeatedly misgendered Wallace while referencing a 2023 public debate. Critics accused Rowling of using the image to humiliate a trans woman. One account asked, “Would you ever post a photo like this of a cis woman?” Another wrote, “You’re a gross Bully. What a sad woman you must be.” Rowling defended the post, writing: “Fred was at a public event that was filmed with all participants’ knowledge... You may feel squeamish about this picture, but Fred is a paraphilic exhibitionist who was having the time of his life.”
