‘Absolutely Right’: Elon Musk Backs Harry Potter Creator J.K. Rowling’s Thoughts On Gender Dysphoria

As a die-hard fan of J.K. Rowling and her magical Harry Potter universe, I have always admired her for creating such a captivating wizarding world that has brought joy to millions around the globe. However, recently, I’ve found myself feeling a mix of emotions as the author has become embroiled in various controversies, particularly regarding her comments on gender dysphoria.


J.K. Rowling, famous for penning the Harry Potter series and imagining a cherished wizarding realm, frequently finds herself embroiled in disputes. Lately, she has been subjected to criticism for expressing contentious views on transgender individuals.

Recently, Rowling expressed her views on X, a topic related to gender dysphoria, which she discussed on her social media platform (previously known as Twitter). Her remarks quickly gained popularity and sparked intense criticism across the internet. In contrast, the author received backing from Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest individual.

What J.K. Rowling commented on gender dysphoria

More recently, J.K. Rowling cited a study by the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine in her discussion on X about gender dysphoria. She expressed, “The large majority of children with gender dysphoria no longer experience this condition once they go through puberty. The most effective treatment is typically allowing nature to take its course.”

Some internet users expressed their own views on Rowling’s comments, while others criticized her. However, Elon Musk spoke up in defense of Rowling using his X account. He stated, “Indeed, @jk_rowling is correct! Most children experience identity struggles during puberty. It’s deeply unfair to deny them the ability to have children with ‘puberty blockers’.”

In adding to the discussion while sharing an article, he mentioned, “For those who desire to undergo a gender transition as adults, it’s crucial they have a thorough understanding of the potential risks. Once equipped with this knowledge, they are empowered to make informed decisions for themselves.”
