JK Rowling has donated £1 million of royalties from one of her children’s books to help fight the Covid-19 crisis in India.

The Harry Potter author is understood to have split the sum between two UK-based charities involved in relief work, including the provision of emergency oxygen supplies.

Doubling down by supplying endless tired old tropes. Not a good look. But it does show people how illogical their position truly is.

And they can't even spell his name right. He's Matthew Parris.

Well done JKR
She can always be relied upon to actually, and quietly, do acts of kindness instead of screaming at a computer screen for people to “BE KIND”

How lovely that a person can buy their way out of being criticised for bigotry! Capitalism is fabulous!

Oh do bugger off with that ridiculous comment! Good luck to her and her generosity

@Thehawki

I don’t agree with her stance on transgender people but I do agree that she is a good person. I feel so bad that she has essentially been cancelled over trying to start a conversation. Why shouldn’t we listen to her concerns? I’m glad she could do this, and she has done this many times over I’m sure. She has a good heart.

She most certainly hasn’t been “ cancelled “ in any way, shape or form.

Probably helps her to sleep at night for her gender bigotry by trying to offset with other charitable giving. Most people see through it

Oh, grow up!

I am sure she sleeps very well at night with a clear conscience that she is doing the right thing with her profile, her money and her life.

The only people who have dubious claims are men who think they are women and so think they can access women’s spaces

Except that the criticism is ignorant, nonsensical screeching from the most dubious of sources.

You'd better hope that they can. There are a lot of people who will be hoping donations will .ake up for their shouting down of autistic adult women when we tried to express our concerns for the autistic children of today. It's all going to be on record which people tried to silence us when we said it smelled like eugenics. But Emily Weir explains it better. Have a watch.
