After years of controversy over Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling‘s stance against transgender rights, the owners of one San Francisco bookstore have had enough.

The Booksmith, a popular independent retailer in Haight Ashbury, announced recently on its website that the author is “using her private wealth from the Harry Potter series to develop the ‘JK Rowling Women’s Fund,’ an organization dedicated to removing transgender rights ‘in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.’” As a result, The Booksmith’s owners announced they would remove Rowling’s books.

“As a group of queer booksellers, we also had our adolescents [sic.] shaped by wizards and elves. Look at us, it’s obvious. If you or someone you love wants to dive into the world of Harry Potter, we suggest doing so by buying used copies of these books,” they said in a statement.

Controversies over Rowling’s views and activism are not new.

Most recently, Pedro Pascal decried Rowling’s online celebration of an anti-trans UK Supreme Court ruling.

Pascal called it, “Awful disgusting SH*T” and “Heinous LOSER behavior.”
