J.K. Rowling saved western civilization. Yes, one woman alone.

Rowling, billionaire, famous author of Harry Potter, and outspoken critic of gender ideology, is arguably the largest single force behind a recent inflection point in the West’s culture wars.

Our culture has been pushed to the brink of an irreversible takeover by delusional despots of a radicalized and bastardized left and now — mercifully — appears to be trending in the direction of a relative normal. We are not there yet. And while some countries, Canada included, are lagging, there’s no denying that a seismic cultural shift was recently felt across the West. We certainly felt it with president-elect Donald Trump’s win in the U.S., in which the “trans issue” pushed swing voters en masse to the Republican Party. But the “trans issue” was at the forefront of voter’s minds not only because of Trump, but because J.K. Rowling spent several years instigating an international conversation on gender.
