John Boyne on JK Rowling: Rowling’s critics claim she is transphobic, the greatest sin of our time, and use the usual tedious hyperbole to demonize her. Her supporters, on the other hand, are encouraged by the advocacy of a domestic violence survivor who believes that women are entitled to safe spaces, that opportunities for women in academia or sport should not be stolen from them, that a lesbian who refuses to allow me into her dating pool is a bigot, and that children should not be subjected to medical experimentation when they’re too young to make informed decisions about their future. For these perfectly rational beliefs she has been pilloried by three distinct types of person: the middle-aged men who’ve been rejected by women all their lives and have now abandoned the real world in favour of taking out their frustrations on social media; there’s the young people, so indoctrinated by social media, that they fail to recognise actual misogyny and homophobia when they see it. And there are the grown women who are astonishingly complicit in their own erasure. These, perhaps, are the worst group, but it must be remembered that for every Commander Waterford, there’s a Serena Joy standing behind him, ready to pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her.
