J.K. Rowling roasted “Queer Eye” star Jonathan Van Ness for pushing transgender ideology and said he’s just as culpable as doctors who perform transgender surgeries on minors.
In a post on X on Monday, the famed “Harry Potter” author reacted to a clip of Van Ness pushing “transgender surgeries” and puberty blockers for minors, which he claimed were “safe” and “reversible.”
“Yet another grown man [Van Ness] advocates for medical interventions on minors that are irreversible, may be deeply regretted and carry a high chance of serious complications,” Rowling wrote to her millions of followers.
“[In my opinion] IMO, celebrity gender propagandists like Van Ness are as culpable as the doctors who’ve traded ethics for profit,” she added. “… At this point, nobody can plead ignorance. Either they know and don’t care, or they’re determined not to look at the evidence, which is just as deplorable.”

Rowling also blasted “straight celebrities” who she said “have rushed to get on the gender band wagon and continue to parrot the same ‘reversible’ lie as Van Ness. Meanwhile, much of the pushback against the medicalization of gender non-conforming kids is coming from gay people.”
In the clip, the “Queer Eye” star said that puberty blockers “were safe” and claimed that they have “no link to longterm fertility issues,” which a recent study casts serious doubt about, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
The social media account Gays against Groomers pointed out Van Ness’ comments and said the actor — who recently “came out as trans, has not gone through any transition himself” — “is advocating for children to get medical and surgical transitions stating they are completely reversible and safe. His video is pushing narratives with no actual facts to back his claims.”
On Sunday, Van Ness showed up at the 82nd Golden Globes awards show in a one-shoulder, emerald green dress. Outspoken women’s sports advocate and former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines was one of many to slam him.
“Hairy cleavage,” Gaines wrote. “Criminal offense.”
Another person added, “Jonathan Van Ness at the Golden Globes mocking women. Democrats, liberals, Hollywood pretend to be pro-women, yet take every opportunity to usurp our place in the world, to mock and belittle us.”
While a third wrote, “This is Jonathan Van Ness and he is going viral for his 2025 Golden Globes appearance. The biggest pandemic our country faces today is a mental health crisis.”
