Judy Blume Says She Supports Trans Community After JK Rowling Story
Quick Glance: Judy Blume emphasizes her support for transgender persons in response to J.K. Rowling's statements
  • Others praised Blume for responding to the Times article and expressing support for the trans community.

  • Blume recently defended LGBTQ authors who have been targeted for bans by conservative lawmakers and parents who claim their work is improper for children because it discusses gender and sexuality.

  • "This fear is often disguised as moral outrage."

  • But, as Blume told Variety last month, her experiences are no match for the current wave of book bans.

  • Blume has spoke out against plans to modify Roald Dahl's works due to rude, outdated language in Variety.
