J.K. Rowling, who apparently can’t go a day without reminding us she’s a bigot, has decided to weigh in on her clear expertise: Olympic boxing. For context: Italian boxer Angela Carini threw in the towel just 46 seconds into her match against Algeria’s Imane Khelif, claiming she’d “never felt a punch like this.” Enter J.K. Rowling, who misgendered Imane Khelif and claimed that she was part of the new men’s rights movement. It would be one thing if Rowling were expressing her typical transphobia toward a trans woman. But Khelif isn’t transgender. And, by the way, this is not a transgender issue.
