J.K. Rowling removed from Museum of Pop Culture exhibit for her transphobic commentary

Salon  

J.K. Rowling has been removed from a "Harry Potter" exhibit at Seattle's Museum of Pop Culture, due to her "super hateful and divisive" transphobic views. In a blog post published in March, the museum's project manager Chris Moore — who is also transgender — slammed Rowling's anti-trans rhetoric: "There's a certain cold, heartless, joy-sucking entity in the world of Harry Potter and, this time, it is not actually a Dementor. But amid the controversy, the museum removed any mentions of Rowling in its "Fantasy: Worlds of Myth and Magic" gallery — which still includes memorabilia from the "Harry Potter" films. The "Harry Potter" author continued to voice her beliefs in blog posts and even a 3,500-word essay, asserting that transgender rights essentially threatens the women's rights movement.
