J.K. Rowling is in trouble. The author’s latest book, slated to release this week, has created an uproar on social media. Titled ‘‘Troubled Blood,’’ the book is about a male serial killer who dresses as a woman while and kills women. Netizens aren’t liking it and have even trended the hashtag, #RIPJKRowling.
Under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, this is in Rowling’s 5th book in the Cormoran Strike series. In the series’ second novel, The Silkworm, Rowling portrays a trans character as being ‘‘unstable and aggressive.’’
Here are some reactions J.K. Rowling has received on twitter for Troubled Blood. One user wrote, “So this bitch puts it in peoples heads that trans people are men dressing as women to kill? Like what the actual fuck is wrong with her. Transwomen and Transmen have fought for their rights and now TERFS are trying to make being Trans a crime. #RIPJKRowling”

This is just to say #ILoveJKRowling. ❤️ She continues to receive abuse for simply stating that women exist and that sex is an important factor in the violence done to women. Her voice gave strength to many of us who have been abused.#IStandWithJKRowling https://t.co/j1r3pXEVKl
