“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling publicly called out the BBC on Tuesday for pushing “propaganda” in its coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s landmark ruling upholding bans on transgender athletes participating in women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sports.<\/p>\n

Replying on X<\/a> to a BBC News headline about the high court\u2019s ruling, Rowling argued the British broadcaster was pushing an ideological position that the public “overwhelmingly rejects.”<\/p>\n

The BBC headline read:<\/a> “US Supreme Court upholds bans on transgender women in female school and college sports.” Rowling immediately pushed back on the framing.<\/p>\n

“You mean men, men who claim to be women,” Rowling wrote, taking issue with the network’s refusal to use biological terms in its headline.<\/p>\n

“You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you\u2019ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn\u2019t news, it\u2019s propaganda,” she added.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Fox News Digital, a BBC spokesperson defended the network’s reporting by pointing to the context provided within the story itself. “This article states clearly that a transgender woman is a biological man who identifies as a woman,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The BBC spokesperson also added that the organization recognizes the strong feelings around the subject, and said it continues to review coverage to reflect legal developments, like the Supreme Court ruling.<\/p>\n

In a 6-3 ruling authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh<\/a>, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of West Virginia and Idaho, which were being sued by transgender athletes to gain access to girls\u2019 sports.<\/p>\n

The court upheld state laws requiring student athletes to compete on teams and in leagues that match their biological sex, not gender identity, a move that secures similar protections passed in over two dozen other states.<\/p>\n

Rowling has faced criticism for her views on biological sex, frequently calling for the exclusion of transgender athletes from girls’ and women\u2019s sports. She has donated to campaign group For Women Scotland, which legally challenged how the word “woman” is defined by law in the United Kingdom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The BBC article later explained that, “Under those state bans, a transgender woman \u2014 a biological male who identifies as a woman \u2014 is not permitted to compete in female sports at schools and colleges.”<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, LGBTQ+ advocates and social media users criticized Queen Camilla for posting a photo alongside Rowling with the caption on the Royal family\u2019s Instagram<\/a> page reading:<\/p>\n

“With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.”<\/p>\n

“Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.”<\/p>\n

Social media users criticized the decision to meet Rowling during June, which is widely recognized as Pride Month.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Rowling praised the International Olympic Committee<\/a>\u2019s decision to ban transgender women from competing in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n

“Today’s ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I’ll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women,” she wrote on X.<\/a><\/p>\n

Her outspoken views on the issues of transgender athletes have frequently put her at odds with other celebrities. Daniel Radcliffe,<\/a> who played Harry Potter in the original films, and his co-star, Emma Watson,<\/a> who played Hermione Granger, have both condemned Rowling\u2019s opinions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
