Read our privacy policy JK Rowling is involved in a high-profile argument with author Joanne Harris after claiming she didn’t support her when she received death threats over her views on transgender people. However, in a statement shared with The Times, Rowling said that she had received “no communication” from Harris when she had received rape or death threats and called on Harris to stand down as the Society of Authors’ committee chair. She then accused Harris of “consistently failing” to defend female authors who agreed with Rowling’s “personal position on gender identity ideology”. “I find it impossible to square the society’s stated position on freedom of speech with Harris’s public statements over the past two years and stand in solidarity with all female writers in the UK who currently feel betrayed by their professional body and its leader,” Rowling said.
