JK Rowling has compared trans rights activists to people faking involvement in terror attacks.
The Harry Potter author has been posting on X, formerly Twitter, about gender rights campaigners she says will change their views in a decade's time and instead rebrand themselves as TERFs.
That is a term standing for the label 'Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists', used as a slur about but also embraced by gender critical campaigners opposed to trans people accessing single-sex spaces and competing in women's sports.
She suggested pro-trans activists would not only rethink their stance but also behave like people falsely claiming to have survived tragedies such as the 9/11 attacks.
The British writer, 60, earlier this year celebrated a ruling by London's Supreme Court determining that, specifically within the terms of Britain's Equality act, 'woman' meant a biological female and not gender.
