Rowlg is facg cricism om gay and transgenr rights anizatns after the Brish wrer posted a tweet that many groups have said was anti-transgenr. “As a gay man that found safety Hogwarts throughout my childhood - knowg that Trans people wouldn’t be able to have that safety (bee of Rowlg’s tweets) breaks my heart, ” activist Shahmir Sanni tweeted.

When Rowlg pared genr-affirmg health re to “a new kd of nversn therapy” July 2020, “Boy Erased” thor and Kennaw State assistant profsor Garrard Conley discsed his own experienc wh gay nversn therapy and how genr-affirmg re n be lifavg. Rowlg published the seventh and fal book the “Harry Potter” seri 2007, she announced that the character of Dumbledore had “fallen love wh” another male character, effectively nfirmg he was gay. Amidst the ntroversy, was also brought to light that Rowlg’s famo psdonym “Robert Galbrah, ” (her Twter b outright stat, “Wrer sometim known as Robert Galbrah”) is also the name of the psychiatrist who pneered gay nversn therapy.
