QuoteJ.K. Rowling and The Handmaid's Tale scribe Margaret Atwood are among 150 writers, academics and activists to sign an open letter published by Harper's bemoaning the "restriction of debate" in modern culture.

Rowling, who has been at the center of a rancorous online debate about transgender rights in recent weeks, put her name to the letter, which said: "The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted."

"The restriction of debate, whether by a repressive government or an intolerant society, invariably hurts those who lack power and makes everyone less capable of democratic participation. The way to defeat bad ideas is by exposure, argument, and persuasion, not by trying to silence or wish them away," it continued.
