YOU have to be an impressive person for Harry Potter author and all-round legend JK Rowling to consider you a heroine.
Rowling not only revolutionized reading for millions of young people all over the globe, but she also took on trans rights bullies almost entirely.

Through the ongoing battle with extremists — who have tried to silence the author through every tactic possible, erasing JK from her own work and even posting death threats to her home — Rowling has become THE poster girl for challenging trans hate mobs.
The fantasy-fiction titan has become a superhero in the depressing story of our time — where women are vilified for standing up for women, and the right to free speech is destroyed by so-called “rights” campaigners.
You couldn’t write it.
JK has however praised Allison Bailey, a little-known criminal barrister, and called her a “stunning” “heroine”After she won an employment tribunal Wednesday.
It found that Bailey’s employer, Garden Court Chambers of (GCC), had abused Bailey because of her views regarding gender and trans-rights. “extremism” was harming women’s rights.
Bailey, Maya Forstater, and Kathleen Stock have been inducted into the freedom fighter hall of fame.
The lesbian barrister took legal action against GCC after it publicly claimed in 2019 that she was under investigation for her gender critical beliefs — including that sex is biological and cannot change — following a complaint from LGBTQ+ lobby group Stonewall.
The tribunal found that Bailey had been discriminated against by GCC — a member of Stonewall’s Diversity Champion scheme — and awarded her £22,000 in damages.
But Allison’s claim that Stonewall had instructed or caused GCC’s investigation was rejected.
Bailey tweeted: “I have lost my case against Stonewall, but I have succeeded in exposing Stonewall’s conduct and the . . . malign influence it wields in workplaces and in society more generally”.
Darn right, she did.
When Bailey protested that men should not be placed in women’s prisons just because they identified as women, Stonewall reported her to her employer for “calling for trans people to lose their current legal rights”.
“I trust that you will do what is right,”In an email she sent to her office, the Head for Trans Inclusion for the charity stated that. It sounds a lot like “sack her, or else”In old money.
You only have to look at Stonewall’s recent record to get a glimpse of what a twisted, authoritarian bunch of ideologues they are.
They claim they are advocates for LGBTQ+ rights. “workplace equality”.
The organisation has become so toxic, that exodus has begun to take place of other organisations leaving its shadow. “diversity scheme”.
Some of the nonsense Stonewall has pumped out includes a recent statement from just a few days ago claiming that children as young as two could be transgender — a claim that received so much backlash for being ludicrous that the charity was later forced to water it down.
AWARDED DAMAGES
The group also demanded that health authorities scrap the term “mother” for not being inclusive enough and to allow biological men into women’s medical wards.
It’s utter madness from a militant organisation we should have seen the back of years ago.
In fact, the UK’s own independent Equalities Watchdog and the Government’s Equalities Office have abandoned ties with Stonewall — as have dozens of organisations, not least the BBC.
If even the BBC — which regularly rolls out the red carpet to all things woke — is forced to turn its back on you because it thinks YOU’RE biased, then you know you’ve gone so far down the woke rabbithole that you’ve reached the gates of hell.
Bailey isn’t just a heroine like JK Rowling. She is a hero for anyone who believes in the right to have perfectly sound opinions and not be subject to the sword of Damocles.
She is just one of many trailblazers fighting extremist gender ideology and its militant advocates.
With the brave backing of JK Rowling, these women are defusing the ticking time-bomb of trans fundamentalists, which has for too long threatened to blow up freedom of speech along with women’s rights.
These wicked radicals are in for a long wait.
Just yesterday, the NHS announced that it will shut down The Tavistock Centre, the UK’s only dedicated gender identity clinic, after a review found it was “not safe”.
It is something that I, and other gender-critical individuals have warned about repeatedly.
FUNDAMENTALISTS
This comes after the clinic has been accused of ushering vulnerable children, who say they are born in the wrong body, down a path of puberty blockers without properly considering whether mental health may be at play.
It will be replaced in the future by regional centres which will be connected to mental health care services and GP services.
Allison Bailey, Rowling and their unwavering fight for free speech as well as the rights of women and girls are our debt.
Capes are not the only thing that heroes wear.
However, I hope these heroines will continue to proudly wear their opinions on gender on their sleeves.
