Nonsense 200, Reality 58
On Sunday, 58 writers signed a letter supporting J. K. Rowling after fans pummeled her on Twitter for her comments on transgenderism. Those who signed the letter included Ian McEwan, Tom Stoppard, and Lionel Shriver. Now 200 writers, publishers, booksellers and marketing assistants have responded with a letter of their own, supporting “the wellbeing and rights of trans and non-binary people.” “Non-binary lives are valid,” the letter reads, “trans women are women, trans men are men, trans rights are human rights.”
