J.K.Rowling is criticizing gender-focused policies that “endanger extremely vulnerable teenage girls.” The “Harry Potter” author earlier this week highlighted a blog post authored by the unnamed parents of a learning-disabled girl who attends a special-needs school that apparently implemented “cross-gender intimate care” instead of “same-sex intimate care.””I’m so bloody angry my hands are shaking.I’m the daughter of a disabled mother and I’ve campaigned for the rights of vulnerable children for many years, but I’m still constantly shocked by the cruelty and indifference shown to those who cannot advocate for themselves,” Rowling tweeted on Monday.”I urge everyone who feels the same way I do on reading this article to contact their MP, as I will certainly be contacting mine and anyone else I know who can stand up to this horror show.” JK ROWLING THROWS SUPPORT BEHIND GIRL ALLEGEDLY DRIVEN FROM SCHOOL FOR CHALLENGING ‘TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY’ In the article Rowling shared, the parents of the disabled girl named Helen express “disbelief, followed by outrage, and a determination that this policy change should be reversed,” referring to the cross-gender intimate care policy at the school, which was apparently meant to offer inclusivity to those who care for disabled students based on the requirements of the U.K.’s 2010 Equality Act.J.K.Rowling attends “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” World Premiere at The Royal Festival Hall on March 29, 2022 in London, England.(Mike Marsland/WireImage) “Our simple and surely reasonable wish, that our daughter’s intimate care, including menstrual care, should be provided by staff who were female, like her, was at risk of being dismissed,” the parents wrote.
