Last year, in response to accusations by MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle that she had “used” her experience of domestic abuse to attack trans people, Rowling tweeted an Andrea Dworkin quote: “Men often react to women’s words – speaking and writing – as if they were acts of violence; sometimes men react to women’s words with violence.” When King retweeted the quote, Rowling declared that her love for The Shining author had reached “new heights”. However, when followers asked King to clarify his stance on trans rights, he emphatically declared: “Trans women are women.” Rowling’s tweet praising King soon disappeared. In an interview this week, Sai King said, “And then someone tweeted at me, ‘Do you think trans women are women?’ and I said, ‘Yes, I do.’ And that’s what she got angry about my opinion. It’s like the old saying, ‘I don’t agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.'”
