Harry Potter author J.K Rowling seemed to be ahead of the curve when she placed many adult themes and rich characters in her children’s books. However, now it turns out she has no tolerance for trans people in real life.<\/p>\n
Albus Dumbledore might be in love with Grindelwald and Lune Lovegood might be non-binary, but J.K Rowling herself has proven to be transphobic.<\/p>\n
In a 3,695-word essay about gender identity<\/a> the author talked about gender and biological sex from her own experiences. There was a particular focus on her own history of suffering from domestic abuse.<\/p>\n ALSO READ<\/p>\n White Man Arrested After Clip of Him Attacking a British-Pakistani Driver Goes Viral<\/a><\/p>\n The Harry Potter writer really just used the essay to explain her stance on transgenderism.<\/p>\n “I’ve only mentioned my past because, like every other human being on this planet, I have a complex backstory, which shapes my fears, my interests and my opinions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Already angering advocates of trans rights with her previous tweets, this essay just made netizens more livid. in fact, none other than Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), two child stars made famous by the Harry Potter movies, have slammed her.<\/p>\n The idea that women like me, who\u2019ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they\u2019re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – \u2018hate\u2019 trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense.<\/p>\n — J.K.
