J.K. Rowling expressed that she turned down peerages twice, asserting, "If offered one a third time, I still wouldn't take it," highlighting her ongoing resistance to political honors.
Rowling explained her rejection of peerages, stating, "It's considered bad form to talk about this but I'll make an exception given the very particular circumstances," showing her commitment to her beliefs.
Kemi Badenoch praised Rowling for her views on gender, saying, "I don't know whether she would take it, but I certainly would give her a peerage," indicating political alignment.
Rowling's rejection of peerages comes after claims of transphobia in her stance on gender, as her comments on women's protections based on biological sex have sparked controversy.
