A couple of days back, King had retweeted a quote shared by Rowling on Twitter which was on the lines of men treating women’s opinions as “acts of violence”. Rowling was all praise for King, however her opinion altered when King was pointedly asked about trans women. “Trans women are women,” he had written.
