jk羅琳被哈利波特聲討(JK羅琳發言涉嫌反跨性別)

兩個全世界最大的哈利·波特粉絲站MuggleNet和The Leaky Cauldron於本周四發表聯合聲明稱,《哈利·波特》系列小說的作者J·K·羅琳近日來對跨性別人士的態度跟書中的立場相反,因此粉絲站將與羅琳「劃清界限」。
這兩個粉絲站表示,將不再提供J.K.羅琳官網的連結,不再使用她的照片,也不再報導她與小說中魔法世界無關的各種消息。
Two of the biggest Harry Potter fan sites on Thursday distanced themselves from author J.K. Rowling because of her beliefs on transgender issues, calling them at odds with the message of empowerment in her best-selling books.
Websites The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet said they would no longer provide links to the British author's personal website, use photos of her, or write about achievements that do not relate to the fictitious wizarding world she created.
The joint statement by the fan sites said Rowling's views on "marginalized people [are] out of step with the message of acceptance and empowerment we find in her books and celebrated by the Harry Potter community."

這一切可以被看成是羅琳此前對跨性別群體發表看法引發的連鎖反應。
上月初,羅琳的一條推文被指涉嫌歧視跨性別群體,引發了廣泛的爭議。丹尼爾·雷德克裡夫、魯伯特·格林特、艾瑪·沃特森等《哈利波特》系列電影的主演都紛紛發聲表示不贊同羅琳的觀點。
隨後,羅琳在官網上發表了一篇文章,解釋自己對跨性別群體的認知,並公開了自己曾經被家暴和性侵的經歷。

It follows a lengthy personal essay by Rowling last month. In the 3,695-word essay on gender identity and her own troubled past, Rowling said that she is a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual assault, noting that "This isn't an easy piece to write."
"I've been in the public eye now for over twenty years and have never talked publicly about being a domestic abuse and sexual assault survivor," Rowling wrote.

在文章中,羅琳表示自己曾對有關跨性別群體的議題進行過研究,包括她為什麼覺得一些跨性別活動家提出的訴求對於女性來說是危險的。
同時,她也表示,當下跨性別運動的爆炸式推進,讓很多人在缺乏審慎思考的情況下接受了變性手術。
但是這篇文章依舊受到很多人的批評。
這不是羅琳第一次因為與跨性別群體相關的議題被攻擊了。
2018年,英國政府要求公眾就2004 年頒布的「性別認知法案」展開討論,試圖簡化法律承認性別認證的流程,使跨性別群體無需出示大量醫學報告和專業認證,可以基於自我認知進行簡化的認證。
當時在全球發展中心工作的稅務專家Maya Forstater對該法案提出了反對,並表示社會對於女性的定義應該更全面,不能通過簡單的口頭定義來削弱對一般女性的保護。隨後,Maya因為自己的發聲被公司解僱。羅琳發推聲援Maya,卻因此被網友圍攻。

She detailed her research and beliefs on transgender issues, including examples of where she thought demands by transgender activists were dangerous to women.
She also argued that "the current explosion of trans activism" has resulted in too many people undergoing gender reassignment surgery without giving it sufficient thought.
The essay was widely criticized by LGBTQ advocacy groups as divisive and transphobic.
J·K·羅琳的暢銷書《哈利·波特》系列小說在全球賣出超過五億本,被改編成八部電影,成為一代人的成長印記。如今,羅琳還推出了這一系列的衍生電影《神奇生物在哪裡》。
這兩個在臉書平臺上擁有超過100萬粉絲的網站在聲明裡表示,長久以來對羅琳作品的喜愛讓他們很難直接站出來與之對抗,但是「利用我們的平臺來抵消她所造成的傷害是錯誤的」。
「儘管我們並不能容忍JKR(羅琳)因發表觀點而遭受的攻擊,但我們必須拒絕她對跨性別群體的看法,」聲明補充道。
目前,羅琳方面拒絕對聲明發表評論。
Rowling's seven "Harry Potter" novels about a boy wizard have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide and were turned into eight blockbuster movies. She followed up with a spin-off movie franchise "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them."

The fan sites, which together have more than one million Facebook followers, said they found it difficult to speak out against Rowling because they had admired her work for so long, but said "it would be wrong not to use our platforms to counteract the harm she has caused."
"While we don't condone the mistreatment JKR (Rowling) has received for airing her opinions about transgender people, we must reject her beliefs," the statement added.
Rowling's representatives declined to comment on the statement.
