J.K. Rowling, renowned for her Harry Potter series, recently stirred controversy with statements critiquing gender identity services. Despite her success, relations with Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) seem strained.
Rowling criticized Dr. Hilary Cass’s review on puberty blockers for minors, citing “severe medical malpractice” on X (formerly Twitter). She chastised those advocating for such practices, hinting at disillusionment with Radcliffe and Watson’s positions.
Previously, Rowling faced backlash for questioning the term “people who menstruate” over “women.” She defended her stance, emphasizing the significance of biological sex.
Radcliffe and Watson responded supportively to the transgender community, distancing themselves from Rowling’s views. Radcliffe penned an essay for The Trevor Project, expressing solidarity and apologizing for potential harm caused by Rowling’s remarks. Similarly, Watson affirmed transgender identities, advocating for their rights and recognition.
