Martina Navratilova responds to JK Rowling’s harsh reaction to transgender broadcaster India Willoughby’s criticism of the author’s ‘Gender Critical’ views
Martina Navratilova appeared impressed by renowned author J.K. Rowling’s firm response to transgender broadcaster India Willoughby. The debate began when Willoughby praised the concept of in vitro fertilization (IVF) for helping women have children, but then challenged Rowling’s views on the subject.
Rowling, best known for authoring the Harry Potter series, is also a vocal advocate for biological principles. Earlier this year in May, she criticized Dr. Robert Garofalo’s approach to changing the gender of children, which garnered support from Navratilova.
Additionally, the 59-year-old revealed in October that she had listed her religion in Scotland’s census as “believer in biology” in protest against the survey’s allowance for individuals to self-identify their gender.
Willoughby recently lauded IVF as a great option for women, referencing the BBC One Show she watched. However, she subtly criticized Rowling, calling her gender-critical and highlighting the author’s belief that biology cannot be changed.
