Banks Fuels Feud with Rowling over Trans Views

Azealia Banks reignited her feud with J.K. Rowling by criticizing the author's views on transgender issues, speculating that personal experiences, including her husband cheating, fueled Rowling's controversial stance. Banks responded to a post about Rowling's past hardships by suggesting that Rowling's anti-trans rhetoric could be a result of her husband cheating with a 'Tr***ylicious diva.' Rowling refuted these claims, emphasizing that her history of domestic abuse is well-documented. Banks further criticized anti-trans rhetoric, arguing that it fuels violence against trans women and detracts from addressing more serious crimes like murder. Despite Banks' own history of transphobic remarks, she defended the trans community by dismissing fears about trans women in female spaces as paranoia. This exchange is part of an ongoing tension between Banks and Rowling, who has faced criticism since 2020 for her views on trans issues.
