Harry Potter series author J.K. Rowling is continuing to speak to gender identity issues, stating that the experimental practices related to gender-transitioning constitute a medical scandal that is likely to erupt soon.

In a series of tweets Saturday, the beloved children’s author weighed in again on transgender issues, linking to a Cambridge Core journal article scrutinizing psychiatric treatments and medical interventions pertaining to gender transition, which likened them to what is known as “conversion therapy.”

“It feels as though we’re on the brink of a medical scandal,” Rowling said.

“Since speaking up about gender identity theory, I’ve received thousands of emails – more than I’ve ever had on a single subject. Many have come from professionals working in medicine, education and social work. All are concerned about the effects on vulnerable young people.”. . .

Her latest words come on the heels of growing scrutiny of the controversial practices in the United Kingdom. U.K. Trade Minister Liz Truss announced earlier this year that restrictions on the medical practices would soon be established. Last month, the National Health Service removed its previous claim that the experimental drugs prescribed to transgender-identifying youth are “fully reversible.” The updated guidance now says the effects of such short-term and long-term effects of such drugs are unknown.

“Grown adults should be able to make decisions, to have agency to live life as they see fit,” Truss said in April.

“But before the age of 18, when people are still developing their decision-making capabilities, they should be protected from making decisions that are irreversible about their bodies that they could possibly regret in the future.”. . .

Earlier this month, Rowling explained in a separate Twitter thread that she considers modern gender-transitioning to be a form of gay conversion therapy, noting that the procedures yield infertility and loss of full sexual function and that a recent BBC documentary investigated the Tavistock center where concerned clinicians spoke about how gender-transitions were being fueled in part by homophobic parents.

“The long-term health risks of cross-sex hormones have now been tracked over a lengthy period. These side-effects are often minimized or denied by trans activists,” Rowling said, highlighting a February 2019 News-Medical.net article about an American Heart Association study on hormone use that revealed an elevated risk of cardiac problems such as heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.

The Tavistock clinic is presently facing a lawsuit in which detransitioner (a formerly trans-identified person) Keira Bell is a claimant. The suit alleges that gender-confused youth were being rushed into hormonal and surgical transitions without an adequate explanation of the permanent effects on their bodies.

Thank you Lord for speaking to Ms. Rowling’s heart and mind to stir the conversation about this horrible move of gender transitioning children. May we acknowledge that You can use anyone to further Your purposes. Thank you for moving her to use her platform in this way. May it give added momentum to those seeking to stop this horrible travesty on our children.

Perhaps Triune God is using this women who writes children books to alert unsuspecting parents, who allow their children to read Harry Potter; to be a warning voice because of her able to influence because of her fame. God can use whoever and whatever He wants to draw attention to evil. The subject was not about her books, but about her calling attention to the horrible practice of gender transition, and her personal concern about it.

I pray, Heavenly Father, for J.K. Rowling if she does not know Jesus as her Savior. Easy to presume since her books, which I have not read, nor my children have read promote the Occult. If so, I pray she repents, confesses her sin, and is indeed sorry. I remember Jesus’ blood covers all sin for all times.. You love her and would desire she be saved, also, as You desire all be saved.

Thank You, Lord for drawing our attention to evil practices so we can pray, and thank you for those You use to call our attention to areas where prayer is desperately needed. Amen.

🤔When I saw this:(Harry Potter) series author J.K. Rowling)

{I had to stop & re-read to see if I misread it. Rabbin I agree with you. I”m astounded, and to head it off with that name. What gives?}

is continuing to speak to gender identity issues,[so what about promoting witchcraft to children & adults who follow this nonsense that God forbids???]

stating that the experimental practices related to gender-transitioning constitute a medical scandal that is likely to erupt soon.

(My question/concern is that both are equally evil J.K., so how can you reel back harry potter???

Thank you, Lord, for using JKRowling to expose this hideous way of thinking. We are made in your image, male and female. I ask you give Keira Bell courage,protection and victory in her lawsuit.
