JK Rowling is transphobic and nothing can change that! Making more HP films and adding money to her pocket is just wrong! And I am not the only one calling her out. Even Daniel Radcliffe thinks so!
Daniel Radcliffe, who has worked with LGBTQIA+ charity The Trevor Project for many years, was the first actor to respond to the Rowling’s essay on transphobia and her comments on the community among actors who had been in the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling's books.
He wrote an open letter via the organisation. “While Jo is unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken, as someone who has been honoured to work with and continues to contribute to The Trevor Project for the last decade, and just as a human being, I feel compelled to say something at this moment,” he wrote.
He added: “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 health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I. According to The Trevor Project, 78% of transgender and non-binary youth reported being the subject of discrimination due to their gender identity. It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and non-binary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm.”
It’s clear that Radcliffe has a spine that enables him to stand again injustice when needed and it would be good if his fans learn something from him!
