J.K. Rowling Attacks BBC's 'Absolutist' Embrace Of Gender Ideology Over Pronouns Of Neo-Nazi

J.K. Rowling has launched her latest attack on the BBC over its reporting on the pronouns of Marla-Svenja Liebich, a far-right extremist who identified as a woman last December. BBC News carried a report about Liebich in which it used she/her pronouns for the criminal, who has received permission to serve a prison sentence in a German women's jail after being convicted of extreme right incitement to hatred, defamation, and insult.

Rowling, a staunch critic of the transgender movement, posted a link on X/Twitter to the BBC News story about Liebich, commenting: 'The BBC calls a male neo-Nazi 'she', because their absolutist belief in gender identity ideology means any man – rapist, voyeur, terrorist, murderer or paedophile – must be described as a woman the moment he says he's one.' The BBC has been asked for a response. BBC News' style guide states: 'We generally use the term and pronoun preferred by the person in question, unless there are editorial reasons not to do so.'

This has not stopped her from repeatedly attacking the BBC over its 'shameful' reporting on transgender matters. The BBC apologized to Rowling twice in 2023. The Harry Potter author was accused of transphobia by trans rights advocates, but the claim was not properly challenged by BBC presenters, including Radio 4's Evan Davis.

Dominant Marquez eager to try something new as MotoGP returns to Hungary

MotoGP returns to Hungary for the first time in 33 years, presenting riders with the challenge of mastering an unfamiliar track -- although Ducati gained an edge on their rivals with an unofficial test. At the start of the month, Ducati took six riders for a test session at the Balaton Park Circuit. They rode Ducati Panigale commercial superbikes, to sidestep rules limiting testing on MotoGP race bikes. "This will be a big help," runaway championship leader Marc Marquez, who rides a factory Ducati said on Thursday. His partner on Ducati's flagship team, Francesco Bagnaia added a condition. "It will be an advantage," said the Italian. "Maybe just for the first day." At 4.08 kilometres (2.54 miles) the Balaton Park Circuit is the second shortest of the 22 tracks in this year's championship. Marquez called it a "stop start" track. "The circuit is not the most difficult one," he said. "It's not a very difficult track to learn because it's small, but I like it." "Everyone will be super close." Bagnaia agreed. "The fight will be intense. We have many hotspots where we can overtake." Marquez said he was happy with the change of pace the circuit brings. "It's a different layout from what we're used to in the World Championship," the Spaniard said. But in 22 races we need to have different layouts." The two Ducati stars have been riding in different directions this season. After rebounding to third overall last season following four injury-hit seasons, Marquez has won the last six Sunday races and nine of 13 this season as he accelerates toward a seventh world title. He said this was a "different version" of Marquez. "2019, for example, was different ... in the way I was fast immediately or the way I pushed the race was more aggressive," the 32-year-old said, adding that this season: "I'm smoother and I'm trying to use more experience." "I'm with the best bike with the best team and it's in my hands to win races and achieve my goal, which is to win world championships." Bagnaia, the world champion in 2023 and 2024, has less confidence in the bikes. Immediately after finishing eighth last week in Austria, he told media he was "running out of patience" with his team. - 'Very strange' - He said Friday that he had patched things up in the pit lane. "When you finish a disaster race like it was in Austria and nervous and angry you arrive to speak to with all the journalists about what is wrong with you, sometimes you make wrong declaration," he said. "I was always super-competitive," he said. "This season finishing eighth, seeing other bikes overtaking me in a very easy way is very strange." Sitting third in the championship, 197 points behind March Marquez and 55 behind the other Marquez brother Alex, who rides for Ducati satellite Gresini, Bagnaia knows he has a problem. "We need to change something. I don't know what. It's clear that I'm always slower than last year. We meed to understand what to do." Lower down the grid, Honda has been forced into an awkward rider about turn. On Wednesday, it announced that the 36-year-old Aleix Espargaro would replace struggling Thai Somkiat Chantra. But when Espargaro turned up at the track on Thursday the team found he had injured his spine in a cycling accident "a few days earlier", so sent him for hospital checks and reinstated Chantra. nb/bde/pb/dmc

Eberechi Eze left out of Crystal Palace team amid reports of imminent Arsenal move

LONDON (AP) — Eberechi Eze was left out of Crystal Palace's team for its Conference League playoff match on Thursday amid reports the England forward is about to join Arsenal. Palace named a close-to-full-strength team against Fredrikstad and Eze was the standout omission, not even included among the substitutes. Widespread reports in the British media said Eze has agreed to a transfer to Arsenal, which has moved late in the summer window for a player who was reportedly close to joining north London rival Tottenham. The 27-year-old Eze will cost an initial 60 million pounds ($80 million), according to the reports, including from the BBC. It would take Arsenal's spending in this summer transfer window to around 250 million pounds ($335 million). Neither Palace nor Arsenal have commented publicly on any potential deal. Eze was a youth-team player with Arsenal before being released as a teenager. He started his professional career at second-tier Queens Park Rangers before moving to Palace in 2020, where he has become one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in the league and a regular in the England squad. He played at last year's European Championship. Last season, Eze scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final as Palace beat Manchester City 1-0 to qualify for European competition for the first time. ___ AP soccer:
