Brave trans stand of JK Rowling seems vindicated. Here's how

Jacob Breslaw resigned from the board of Mermaids last week after a newspaper reported his relationship with a paedophile support group. According to a Telegraph investigation, the Charity Commission investigates the siren for giving bras to 13-year-old girls without their parent's knowledge.

At the very least, recruiting a paedophilia apologist to a children's charity requires mystifying incompetence. Mermaids appear to have barely covered the basics in vetting its employees working with vulnerable youngsters - especially in a position to recommend irreversible medical treatments.





From Allison Bailey to bold whistleblowers like Julie Bindel and Keira Bell, Rowling is no stranger to taking a bold stand for women's rights. The Good Law Project, funded by the Jolyon Maugham KC Group, is backing Mermaid's High Court case against the new charity LGB Alliance, despite the charity's committee investigating Mermaid's operations. Rowling worked hard to make this a mainstream issue and got a better rating than most people.

As it turns out, JK Rowling's literary success was her least impressive accomplishment. Her adoring fans could have paid her royalties, but she waged a long and lonely battle for women's and children's rights. We are even more indebted to her for this.
