WRITING ON THE WALL: J.K. Rowling has repeatedly defended the concept of biological sex over the last several years, sparking outrage on social media.
'Media Buzz' host Howard Kurtz discusses the controversy over the Harry Potter author's remarks about transgender people on 'The Story.'
"What is it about this woman and her work that has captured the ire of very different groups of people across time?" Phelps-Roper wondered in a letter she sent to Rowling in Scotland. "I never set out to upset anybody," Rowling said during the podcast."However, I was not uncomfortable with getting off my pedestal."
The final"Harry Potter" novel may have been released in 2007, but Rowling has remained a prominent, if not polarizing figure in the modern media landscape. Much of the controversy has stemmed from her Twitter activity. Author J.K. Rowling delivers an address at Harvard University's commencement ceremonies June 5, 2008, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Rowling, who wrote the popular Harry Potter books, was the commencement speaker.
