JK Rowling Donates £70K to Efforts to Preserve Traditional Definition of “Sex”
“This is truly a historic case,” the author wrote.
Author and now-vocal critic of gender ideology JK Rowling has reportedly put a portion of her substantial fortune behind the efforts of a Scottish women’s group to fight attempts to redefine “sex” in United Kingdom law.
Rowling is best known for penning the Harry Potter series and is one of the most successful female authors and women in the world, but she has become embroiled in the center of heated controversy as she continuously refuses to kowtow to the progressive left’s dangerous gender ideology.
Now, the activist For Women Scotland has shared that the author put £70,000 behind its crowdfunding campaign to fight to convince the UK Supreme Court to preserve the definition of “sex” on the basis of biology rather than gender identity.
Last week, the organization issued a post on X thanking "all who are making this challenge possible - especially @jkrowling."
According to The Daily Mail, Rowling wrote to group organizers in a donation message, "You know how proud I am to know you. Thank you for all your hard work and perseverance. This is truly a historic case."
On the fundraiser campaign page, For Women Scotland explains that it has been granted permission to be heard by the Supreme Court in a previous judicial ruling on its challenge to the definition of the word “woman” in the Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018.
“This legislation relies on definitions set out in the Equality Act 2010 and the judicial reviews have served to show that a definition of ‘sex’ that is inclusive of a person's ‘acquired gender’ on a Gender Recognition Certificate leaves the Equality Act opaque and unworkable for many women,” For Women Scotland explains.
“There needs to be clarity that sex is a biological term and while the UK Government recognises this, it is yet to take any remedial action in response to the second judicial review ruling,” the group adds.
