At least four authors have severed ties with the literary agency representing them and JK Rowling, after it refused to distance itself from remarks made by the Harry Potter author on transgender issues.
The authors, all identifying under the LGBTQIA umbrella, issued a joint statement resigning from The Blair Partnership that said “This decision is not made lightly, and we are saddened and disappointed it has come to this.”
“After J. K. Rowling’s — who is also signed to the agency — public comments on transgender issues, we reached out to the agency with an invitation to reaffirm their stance to transgender rights and equality.” the statement further explains.
“We felt that they were unable to commit to any action that we thought was appropriate and meaningful.” the authors said.
In other words, the agency wouldn’t publicly condemn Rowling’s opinions on biological sex.
“Freedom of speech can only be upheld if the structural inequalities that hinder equal opportunities for underrepresented groups are challenged and changed.” the authors further wrote.
In a statement of response, The Blair Partnership wrote “We support the rights of all of our clients to express their thoughts and beliefs, and we believe in freedom of speech. Publishing and the creative arts are dependent on these things. It is our duty, as an agency to support all of our clients in this fundamental freedom and we do not comment on their individual views.”
“To reiterate, we believe in freedom of speech for all; these clients have decided to leave because we did not meet their demands to be re-educated to their point of view,” the agency shot back.
It’s somewhat unsurprising that the agency backed Rowling, given that the Harry Potter books are a tad more popular than the Trans Teen Survival Guide and other virtually unknown titles published by the four woke authors.
The development comes a week after staff at Publishing house Hachette threatened to quit unless the company cancels its association with JK Rowling and scraps plans to publish her new book because they argue the author is ‘transphobic’.
Hachette is backing Rowling, having issued a statement saying “We are proud to publish JK Rowling’s children’s fairy tale The Ickabog. Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of publishing.”
If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.
I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.
Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya#ThisIsNotADrill

Infowars founder Alex Jones’ new book has rocketed to the top of Amazon’s movers and shakers list and is now the number one seller in its category just hours after the book became available for pre-order.
The book is now the number 1 best seller in the political corruption and Misconduct category, and the 76th best selling book overall on Amazon.
Jones’ book is now more popular than new offerings by Glenn Beck, leftist journalist Mark Leibovich, evolutionary biologist Carl T. Bergstrom, and anti-Trump conservative Tim Miller.
The book is released August 30th, and is on pre-order.
Alex joined Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast recently to talk about the book, which details the existential battle taking place between American patriots and the globalist technocrats trying to implement their Great Reset agenda.
Watch:
Despite being banned for years on all social media and relentlessly attacked by the mainstream corporate media, Alex Jones is more in demand than ever before.
In addition to the book, Jones is the subject of a new documentary film, Alex’s War, which also immediately shot to the top of Apple’s charts, sitting only behind Top Gun Maverick, the world’s highest grossing movie of all time.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald recently interviewed Jones along with the film’s director Alex Lee Moyer on the collapse of corporate media and Jones’ journey to become an opposition leader against the globalist takeover.
