Independent bookstores catering to the LGBTQ+ community in San Francisco deliberately abstain from stocking J.K. Rowling's literature, asserting their disapproval of herviews on gender identity.
In this bizarre world we dwell, J.K. Rowling's popularity plummets due to her resolute stance that men are men and women are women. As a result, bookstores are shunning her works.
For years, Rowling has been an advocate for preserving women-only spaces. Sure, it's simple common sense to most, but for the progressive mob, it's a dastardly, bigoted act. To top it off, some have even demanded the police to apprehend her for her refusal to label a man as a woman.
In the limelight, Harry Potter actor Tom Felton evokes a liberal uproar after deciding not to publicly denounce Rowling.
Bookstores such as San Francisco's own Booksmith went bonkers like a thousand wizards during a Quidditch match after Rowling announced her J.K. Rowling Women's Fund - an organization donating funds to those protecting women's sex-based rights.
In response, Booksmith decided to cease selling anything penned by Rowling, citing as their reason, "We're not going to be a part of it... Happy reading, solidarity forever." However, they're unsure about the fund's intentions, which seems a bit tentative considering their decision.
Unfazed, Rowling stands firm in her convictions. She continues to finance her fund from the Harry Potter series profits to safeguard women's spaces. This divisive issue eschews nuance - men and women are different, and the genders aren't interchangeable. Yet, if one challenges this, senseless and illogical actions follow, detaching from those with differing views.
Though Booksmith's decision won't financially cripple Rowling, given her fortune exceeds $1 billion, it's still nonsensical for them to do so. Still, it aligns with the usual behavior from those who disagree.
