JK Rowling has lashed out at stars of Harry Potter as she branded them “despicable” in a new article.
The best-selling author has become known for her controversial views on trans people in recent years after she stated that she doesn’t believe trans people and trans women should be allowed the same rights as cis-women back in 2020. The comments specifically referred to trans women being allowed in female-only spaces.
“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.” Daniel then again addressed the issue telling The Atlantic that his disagreement with Rowling “makes me really sad.”
He said: “It makes me really sad, ultimately, because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic. Jo, obviously Harry Potter would not have happened without her, so nothing in my life would have probably happened the way it is without that person.
“But that doesn’t mean that you owe the things you truly believe to someone else for your entire life.” Now, writing for The Times this week Rowling seemingly slammed her former colleagues for their support for trans women.
She said: “People who’d worked with me rushed to distance themselves from me or to add their public condemnation of my blasphemous views (though I should add that many former and current colleagues have been staunchly supportive).
“I’ve listened as certain female celebrities insist that there isn’t the slightest risk to women and girls in allowing any man who self-identifies as a woman to enter single-sex spaces reserved for women, including changing rooms, bathrooms or rape shelters.”
She went on to hint that she is still friends with several of her former Harry Potter colleagues as she admitted that “the condemnation of certain individuals was far less surprising to me than the fact that some of them then emailed me, or sent messages through third parties, to check that we were still friends,” adding that the thing is “those appalled by my position often fail to grasp how truly despicable I find theirs.”
