A transgender novelist has written a book that they describe as a “depraved psychosexual horrorshow” in which they burn Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling alive.
Rowling has been a target of frequent death threats from trans activists due to her unwavering belief that men cannot become women.
Gretchen Felker-Martin’s debut novel, “Manhunt” is about two transgender people going to war with feminists, including a group they called the “Knights of J.K. Rowling.”
The “Harry Potter lady … ended up being a crazy TERF, like, super intense,” Felker-Martin’s character says in the book. Later, it would be revealed that one of the trans activist characters knocked over a lamp and burned Rowling to death.
According to a report from the New York Post, “the Massachusetts-based author brags about writing ‘the most disgusting books in the English language, books about sexual revulsion, about body horror, about how violence forms and fits into our lives.’”
The Post report notes that “Manhunt” is the best-seller in Amazon’s “LGBTQ+ Horror Fiction” genre — “but around a quarter of the reviews give it the lowest one-star rating, some ripping it as ‘rape fantasy’ and ‘misogynistic trash.’”
“A trans-identified male fetishist writes his fantasy about raping and murdering women he hates in a post-apocalyptic world,” one reviewer wrote, adding that there is “no redeeming aspect to this story. None.”
The author has been practically begging for Rowling to notice them and get mad about the book on Twitter, but the Harry Potter author has not commented or given them any attention.
The famed author was first branded as a “TERF,” or “Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist,” in June, 2020, when she took issue with an article referring to “people who menstruate” instead of using the word “woman.”
“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet.
In a tweet on International Woman’s Day, Rowling wrote that “apparently, under a Labour government, today will become We Who Must Not Be Named Day,” in response to a tweet pointing out that Annalise Dodds, Chair of the Labour Party, had claimed she was not sure how to define the term “woman.”
“Someone please send the Shadow Minister for Equalities a dictionary and a backbone,” Rowling tweeted.
Rowling previously wrote a lengthy blog post about her concerns with trans-activism.
“So I want trans women to be safe. At the same time, I do not want to make natal girls and women less safe. When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside,” she wrote. “That is the simple truth.”
Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Eddie Redmayne have all denounced Rowling’s comments or thrown more subtle shade with their support for trans activism.
Ralph Fiennes, who played Voldemort, and Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid, have both defended Rowling.
