A San Francisco bookstore, The Booksmith in Haight-Ashbury, has removed all Harry Potter books from its shelves due to J.K. Rowling's anti-transgender rights stance. The store cited Rowling's alleged use of her Harry Potter earnings to fund the 'JK Rowling Women’s Fund,' an initiative they claim aims to restrict trans rights. The Booksmith stated that continuing to sell her books would contradict their values, and this decision is a public show of support for the trans community. Rowling's views and financial contributions to gender-critical organizations have led to widespread controversy and many distancing themselves from her work.
