'Transgender women are women': 'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe clashes with author J.K. Rowling
LONDON — "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe has spoken out in support of transgender rights, clashing with the hit series' author J.K. Rowling.
Radcliffe posted his views on the website of the Trevor Project, a U.S. based non-profit that supports young LGBTQ+ people, including with suicide prevention. The author's posts sparked a wave of criticism, including from prominent gay rights organizations, which accused her of being a"TERF," an acronym for a"transgender exclusionary radical feminist."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.
Radcliffe acknowledged that Rowling was"unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken" but said he felt compelled to speak out. Rowling has yet to comment on Radcliffe's essay nor have any of his prominent co-stars, Emma Watson or Rupert Grint.
