J.K. Rowling tells politicians to take trans activists' threats seriously after the Mail revealed mob is planning to smash the offices of senior ministers
The celebrated Harry Potter author took to social media platform X to describe the militant trans group Bash Back as part of a 'totalitarian movement'.
J.K. Rowling has urged politicians to take trans activists' threats seriously after the Mail on Sunday revealed protesters were planning to smash the offices of senior ministers.
This newspaper reported yesterday that Bash Back is set to target prominent political figures - including the Prime Minister and Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
Celebrated author Rowling took to social media platform X to share the MoS's story and describe the militant group as part of a 'totalitarian movement'.
Rowling wrote: 'Who knows, now that trans activists aren't only stalking, harassing, doxxing, threatening and physically assaulting women, our politicians might finally take the violence that's such a key feature of this totalitarian movement seriously.'
Bash Back describes itself as a 'trans-led direct action project focused on total transgender liberation'.
Back in August, the group claimed responsibility for vandalising Wes Streeting's Ilford North constituency office after the Health Secretary acknowledged he was 'deeply uncomfortable' with an NHS trial of puberty-blocking drugs.
Police launched an investigation after the Health Secretary's HQ had its windows smashed and the words 'child killer' daubed on the front in graffiti.
Sharing a photo of the front of Mr Streeting's office shortly after it had been damaged, Bash Back wrote: 'Don't want action? Don't kill kids.'

Bash Back's first public attack was on Mr Streeting's Ilford North constituency office in July, smashing windows and daubing 'child killer' on the shop front - a reference to the Health Secretary's views on puberty blockers for children
Rowling said in her post that attacks on male politicians might mean lawmakers 'finally take the violence that's such a key feature of this totalitarian movement seriously'
The group's latest conspiracy was uncovered by the Mail on Sunday after it urged members to form 'cells' and plot criminal damage offences against high-profile targets.
The gender warriors said: 'If you think we're done, you've got another thing coming. MP or PM, you've seen us once, we'll see you again.'
A list of other potential marks include the Free Speech Union (FSU) and feminist organisation Sex Matters.
