JK Rowling recently stated that the “best cure” for gender dysphoria is to allow children to go through puberty. This opinion, which has sparked controversy, now has the support of Elon Musk.
Rowling tweeted, “The vast majority of children grow out of gender dysphoria if allowed to go through puberty. The single best cure is letting nature take its course,” citing a study by the Society For Evidence-Based Gender Medicine.
Elon Musk responded on X, agreeing with her view: “Well, JK Rowling is absolutely right! Almost every child goes through some kind of identity crisis during puberty. It is deeply wrong to make them permanently infertile with ‘puberty blockers’. If they still wish to transition as adults, provided they are fully informed of the risks, they can then make decisions as consenting adults.”
Rowling has faced backlash for her trans-issue views, but Musk’s support adds a notable voice to the discussion.
