Famed Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling was shocked by a recent report that shows that hundreds of female athletes have lost medals and championships to men identifying as women over the last few years and she vented her outrage on her X account.
On Thursday the British childrenâs book author commented on a story by the Daily Mail which revealed a recent report by the U.N.âs Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls said that hundreds of womenâs medals have gone to men.
âOver 890 medals, across 29 sports, stolen from women by men,â the shocked British writer exclaimed in her post.
In a follow-up post to a fan who said he felt bad for all the women who have lost out on athletic opportunities, Rowling added, âWeâre not supposed to feel empathy for those women and girls. The only people we should coddle are the mediocre men who decided theyâd enjoy medals without the hassle of competing in the correct category.â
The report by Reem Alsalen, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, suggests men should not be allowed in womenâs sports.
He asserted that it was a matter of fairness and safety that womenâs sports should be relegated only to women and that trans women should be excluded from womenâs sports.
Many agreed with Rowling.
X owner and Space X boss Elon Musk, for one, jumped onto Rowlingâs post and insisted the issue has gone far beyond that of mere medal counts.
âItâs not just about medals anymore-itâs about safety, careers, financial incentives , opportunities, dreams, and the future for young girls in sports. Itâs devastating to watch. Magazine covers, women of the year awards⊠theyâre taking up every single space that was meant to inspire and encourage girls to make the best of themselves,â Musk wrote.
Musk also insisted women are âlosing everythingâ with societyâs bow to the woke, radical, trans agenda.
âWomen are losing everything, even the right to be called women. And now, in a ridiculous twist, weâre being blamed for being too successfulâtoo educated, too wealthyâbecause apparently, it makes men more violent. Whatâs next? Will they have to start apologizing for striving for more? What an absurd world,â he wrote in another post.
Actor James Woods also took aim at the U.N. report and called the bow to transgenderism in sports a âviolationâ of Title IX.
âAn appalling and culpable violation of Title IX by the dirty Democrats who are supporting mentally ill men before the rights of girls and women in sports,â he wrote.
