New Stonewall chair defends JK Rowling (+more transgender news)

Kezia Dugdale, former Scottish Labour leader, says she feels more scared as a lesbian today and calls for a kinder debate on transgender issues. She is the new chair of Stonewall. She display dangerous naiveté in her acceptance of JK Rowling and TERF complaints.

Opinion: Kezia Dugdale, the new chair of Stonewall, defends JK Rowling and transphobic activists. She has to go.

Asked about JK Rowling’s opposition to trans rights, Dugdale said: “I have a huge respect for JK Rowling. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her before and I think her story and how she came to be this prolific, incredible children’s writer in this city as a single mum writing in a cafe is phenomenal and an inspiration to so many women across the world.

“I think she’s been a really powerful political advocate [for] improving the lot of single mums, making a case for tackling poverty and inequality in all its forms, and there is absolutely a place for her in public life to share her experiences and tell her story and make a difference.”
