JK Rowling weighs in on the trans debate again. She probably wouldn’t forgive the “Harry Potter” stars for their backlash.
Rowling has been accused of being transphobic for years. Among other things, she criticizes trans people’s open approach to their identity and gender roles. In the summer of 2020, the author thought about the wording “People who menstruate” made fun of. According to a recently published report, the British woman now saw her controversial positions confirmed in a debate taking place in Great Britain. One user then wrote: “I’m just waiting for Dan and Emma to apologize to you very publicly… knowing you’ll forgive them.” However, Rowling indicated in a reply to this post that she probably wouldn’t do so.
“I’m afraid that’s not safe,” Rowling explained. “Celebrities who have pandered to a movement that seeks to erode women’s hard-won rights and who use their platforms to cheer the transition of minors can apologize to traumatized detransitioners and vulnerable women in need of single-sex spaces are, save.”
Headwind from Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson
Both Radcliffe and Watson had already spoken out against Rowling’s comments in 2020. “Trans women are women. […] It’s clear we need to do more to support transgender and non-binary people. “We should not invalidate their identities and cause further suffering,” the actor wrote for example for the “Trevor Project”. His colleague explained on X, Back then it was Twitter: “I want my trans followers to know that I and many other people around the globe recognize, respect and love you for who you are.”
