"I do not consider myself cancelled"

Author JK Rowling has said she she does not feel that she has been ‘cancelled’ after criticism of her trans views.

The author’s views on gender ideology, expressed in a number of controversial tweets, have led to a significant public backlash, as well as criticism from Harry Potter stars such as Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.

However, in an interview for Letters from Suzanne, a Substack publication by writer and columnist Suzanne Moore, the author said: ‘The only time I’ve ever made reference to being cancelled, my book sales went up.

‘Why am I even laughing? I can’t believe I’m saying these words. But you have to mock them. I do not consider myself cancelled.’
