'Trans Women Not a Danger': Netizens Criticise JK Rowling for Latest Tweet

JK Rowling has been in hot water several times before for her views about the transgender community. However, Harry Potter stars Danielle Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint had expressed their support for trans people.

In 2020, Rowling had tweeted, "If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth."

Danielle Radcliffe had addressed and opposed JK Rowling's views in an article in 2020. Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter in the films had written, “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 (Rowling) or I.”

Rupert Grint had told Sunday Times that he 'firmly' stands with the trans community. Grint said, “Trans women are women. Trans men are men. We should all be entitled to live with love and without judgment.”

Emma Watson had posted on social media, "Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.”
