Author jk rowling, who is known for her polarising views on transgender people, has targeted asexuals in her latest online post on international asexuality day In a series of posts, the author mocked people who identify as asexual Rowling cruelly mocks asexual people for no reason she doubled down on her bigotry with multiple follow up comments.
On april 6, 2025, coinciding with international asexuality day, rowling took to social media platform x (formerly known as twitter) to post dismissive remarks about asexuality. Rowling has sparked backlash after making a harsh post on x (formerly twitter) and comments about asexual people In replies to her supporters, rowling proceeded to describe ace folks as “straight people who don’t fancy a quickie,” wondered at how an asexual person would.
She referred to it as “fake oppression day” and followed it up with a series of comments that completely missed the mark—mixing up terms, mocking identities, and reducing real experiences to punchlines.
