Julie Bindel points out a few facts about JK Rowling for the benefit of Nick Hilton:

So when I read podcast producer Nick Hilton’s ignorant and vitriolic attack on J.K. Rowling in the New Statesman – the magazine of choice for champagne-swigging socialists – I was furious.

Hilton’s article, published earlier this week, is as bizarre as it is defamatory. It labels the author ‘Britain’s nastiest novelist’, attacks her most recent books and even finds time to bemoan ‘child abuse, murder and torture’ in the beloved Harry Potter series.

…

While Hilton has since claimed he was writing only about her books, it is very clear he was using them as a means of launching a thinly-veiled sexist rant against the author herself.

Would he have been writing “about her books” at all if there had been no political background? And would the New Statesman have published his writing about her books in that case? I think not.

As an investigative journalist, who has dedicated their entire adult life to campaigning to end male violence against women, I am lucky enough to have become good friends with Rowling. She is, without doubt, one of the kindest, most generous and empathetic people on the planet. She has tirelessly used her wealth and platform to help others and the must rank as one of the most generous philanthropists in the world…And yet, despite the immeasurable good she has done, Left-wing commentators such as Hilton continue to attack her character.

The vilification of Rowling has long been led by aggressive woke activists who accuse her of being ‘transphobic’. Rowling is not a transphobe. She simply believes in the importance of biological sex. As a result, she takes the view that men who identify as women should not be allowed in women-only spaces – be it a changing room, prison or rape centre. Neither should they be allowed to compete in women’s sport or take women’s roles in business. Most importantly, they should not be allowed to insidiously roll back centuries of female emancipation.

But the Nick Hiltons think they absolutely should be allowed to do that.

We see you.
