Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling indicated that she would not forgive the
actors who starred in the film adaptations of her best-selling book series
for their comments in favor of trans rights.
The 58-year-old author has become an outspoken critic of the radical trans
agenda, specifically as it relates to women being protected in society.
Most recently, Rowling shared her concerns about the medical transitioning of
children who believed they were transgender by posting a lengthy thread on X.
One of Rowlings followers responded to the thread, writing, Just waiting
for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology safe in the knowledge
that you will forgive them
Rowling replied, Not safe, Im afraid. Celebs who cosied up to a movement
intent on eroding womens hard-won rights and who used their platforms to
cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised
detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces.
Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson publicly denounced
Rowlings views after several of her tweets went viral in 2020.
Rowling also posted an essay to her website in June 2020, saying in part, I
refuse to bow down to a movement that I believe is doing demonstrable harm in
seeking to erode woman as a political and biological class and offering
cover to predators like few before it.
Around the same time as Rowlings comment, Watson, who played the character
Hermione in the film franchise, posted on her own social media that Trans
people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without
being constantly questioned or told they arent who they say they are.
I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the
world see you, respect you and love you for who you are, Watson added.
Radcliffe expressed similar sentiments in 2020 after the comments went viral.
Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the
identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given
by professional healthcare associations who have far more expertise on this
subject matter than either Jo [Rowling] or [me], the actor said at the time
in a lengthy essay.
To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been
tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have
caused you. I really hope that you dont entirely lose what was valuable in
these stories to you.
Radcliffe specifically voiced his support for trans youth transitioning while
moderating an episode of Sharing Spaces, a roundtable series produced by
the activist organization The Trevor Project.
There are some people in the world who are not trying to engage with this
conversation in any kind of good faith. I think a lot of the time its just
cause people dont know a young trans person, Radcliffe said, as The Daily
Wire previously reported.
