After demonstrating her support for trans rights, J.K. Rowling previously hinted that she would never be able to forgive Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe.
The author of Harry Potter has undoubtedly gained attention recently as a result of her divisive remarks regarding the trans community in June 2020, at the height of the Covid pandemic.
Rowling published a link to an article headlined “Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate,” seemingly mocking the attempts to be inclusive of the trans community.
“People who menstruate,” the author added as a note. There must have once been a term for those individuals. I need someone to help me. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?
In the comments, Rowling received a lot of criticism, with Radcliffe and Watson, two Harry Potter characters, expressing their support for the trans community.
In addition to writing an essay for the LGBTQ+ group The Trevor Project, Radcliffe apologized for “the pain” Rowling’s remarks had caused.
Conversely, Watson assured her trans followers that she and “so many other people around the world see you, respect you, and love you for who you are.”
Although many would have expected Rowling to avoid making such remarks, earlier this year she wreaked even more havoc on the trans community.
Regarding the Cass Review, which looks at gender services for youth in the UK, namely the use of puberty blockers, the actor sent a since-deleted tweet.
‘The most rigorous evaluation of the medical evidence supporting transitioning youngsters that’s ever been performed,’ Rowling referred to the paper written by pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass.
“Thousands are complicit, not just medics, but the celebrity mouthpieces, unquestioning media, and cynical corporations,” the author said, while asserting that the results demonstrated that “kids have been irreversibly harmed.”
“Just waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology… safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them…” was what one Twitter user said to Rowling in reaction to her message.
Rowling retorted, however, that the two actors she had collaborated with for so long were not “safe” in that awareness.
Writing, “Not safe, I’m afraid,” “Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s 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.”
Rowling has previously stated that she would not “delete posts calling a man a man” in order to rescind her decision to misgender transgender persons.
Instead of using a transgender person’s preferred pronouns, she also implied that she would “happily” serve time in prison, stating: “I’ll happily do two years if the alternative is compelled speech and forced denial of the reality and importance of sex.”
