"I feel the right thing here is to try and force this conversation," Rowling says. "On behalf of people I'm seeing shut down who do not have my... insulation, right? It is that privileged white woman." The Witch Trials of JK Rowling was produced by Andy Mills, Matthew Bull, and me, Megan Phelps-Roper.

The movement for trans rights hits its stride in the early 2010s, but encounters fierce resistance from an unexpected source. J.K. Rowling watches the battle unfold with mounting unease.

Produced by Andy Mills, Matthew Boll, and Megan Phelps-Roper, with special thanks to Candace Mittel Kahn and Emily Yoffe.
