Quidditch Cancelled Over JK Rowling’s ‘Transphobic’ Comments
Real life version of make-believe game goes ‘poof!’
From the desk of AD Washbro
The organizers of a real life version of the game Quidditch, inspired by JK Rowling’s hit series of books Harry Potter, are changing the sports name in an effort to distance the game from the author, whom they have incorrectly and rather ungratefully labeled, ‘transphobic’.
And that’s just fine to 11-year-old Harry Potter reader Flavia Majares.
“I think it’s so ridiculous. Who cares? I mean, it’s all made up words. Like all the dumb stuff about boys being girls that they’re so upset about,” the avid reader and self-described ‘Muggle’ told Woke Up!
Major League Quidditch and U.S. Quidditch, the two organizations that represent teams in more than a dozen countries, are transitioning (pun intended) from the name as Rowling continues to wage an ongoing battle with transgender ideology. The author’s war on woke began in 2019 when she tweeted her support for Maya Forstater, a tax specialist who’d lost her job for what were deemed ‘transphobic’ tweets.
