""You know what the irony is?" King asked. "She wrote eight books about children having autonomy and the ability to make their own choices, which is possibly the most trans thing I've ever heard. She could have had these books go down as some of the greatest young-adult writing in the world - all she had to do was shut the f**k up." Rowling's views were "spitting in the space of [the author's] fandom", they added."
"King Princess, whose real name is Mikaela Mullaney Straus, released their third album on Friday (12 September) and will be touring in the UK and Ireland later this year. Describing the album as "almost like a 'ha ha' to toxic masculinity", King Princess told The Guardian: "In a world full of physical violence, anger, war and hyper-masculinity, this is the really crazy violence that's under the surface, that's subliminal and emotional and thoughtful. "I shouldn't be Emo and weird and comparing myself. I'm 26, I should be having fun.""
King Princess identifies the Harry Potter tales as a queer story, highlighting themes of choice, difference, community, and chosen family. King Princess condemns JK Rowling's anti-trans views, calling Rowling a 'demon' and saying those views 'spit in the space' of fandom, while noting the irony that the books emphasize autonomy and self-determination. King Princess released a third album, Girl Violence, and will tour the UK and Ireland. The album is described as 'almost like a "ha ha" to toxic masculinity', addressing subliminal, emotional violence beneath societal hyper‑masculinity. King Princess uses she/they pronouns and says being LGBTQ+ in America is challenging.
