Author J.K. Rowling has fallen silent on her usually busy X (formerly Twitter) feed, after Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif filed a legal complaint in France for alleged cyber harassment over statements regarding her gender.

On August 9, lawyers for Khelif filed a lawsuit with a special unit of the public prosecutor’s office in Paris, stemming from false statements that spread online about her gender after the Algerian boxer defeated Italy’s Angela Carini in her first fight of the 2024 Olympic Games. Carini pulled out 46 seconds into the bout and told reporters afterwards that she had “never felt a punch like this.”

        I’d say she was young and naïve and attracted to a guy who was literally superhuman. She wasn’t stupid though, she was the ship’s historian. She basically fell in love with what she was supposed to study. It happens in the real world too… doctors falling in love with patients at the like.

      She thought she was Dax, but she’s really Damar. Elon Musk is Gul Dukat.

      She thinks she’s Future Guy, but she’s really Silik.
