JK Rowling hits out at Nicola Sturgeon after SNP equality officer's abusive tweets revealed
JK Rowling has hit out at Nicola Sturgeon after an SNP equality officer's abusive tweets threatening violence against women were made public.
'Terf' is an acronym that stands for 'trans-exclusionary radical feminist' that has been applied by trans rights activists to those they see as opposing legislation on gender issues. In a subsequent message responding to a reply from a fan, she added: "Oh, I’m sure the First Feminist will be all over it, what with her a sterling record of taking women’s concerns seriously and loudly condemning rape and death threats to members of her own party."
The author wrote: "I stand in solidarity with @ForWomenScot and all women protesting and speaking outside the Scottish parliament. #NoToSelfID." Rowling has become a figurehead in the women's rights movement - but some, including the stars of the Harry Potter franchise, have distanced themselves from her over her views.
