JK Rowling Faces Online Heat For Transphobic AI Post Netizens Blame Black Mold For Her 'Pathetic, Hateful' Behaviour

(MENAFN- Live Mint) JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter book series, is back in the headlines for her anti-trans stance, especially with her latest post with Artificial Intelligence gibberish, as the furious netizens now blame black mold for her 'pathetic, hateful' behaviour.

In a post on X, she claimed that gender identity ideology is homophobic and posted a six-second video that showed a tweet from Dr Helen Webberley, followed by images that look like a social media comment section, but do not include any real words. Instead, the images show gibberish written in a combination of real letters and jumbled, distorted letters.

“Tell me again how gender identity ideology isn't homophobic. Would you trust this UK doctor, who was suspended from practising by the medical council and now heads up a quasi-medical trans advocacy group GenderGP, to be sympathetic to a young girl who's attracted to other girls?” she wrote, alongside an AI-moderated video.
