JK Rowling 'Celebrity Spokesperson' responds to the release of a new medical report related to gender identity which claims there is 'not enough evidence about the long-term outcomes of interventions to manage gender-related distress' counterattacked.This includes former Harry Potter stars. daniel radcliffe and emma watsonthey had previously objected to Rowling's often controversial comments about children being allowed the choice to change their gender.
The Harry Potter author says he is “angry” that “opponents” of children in transition are being called “the far right, who want to see proper checks and balances in place.” After a lengthy post in which she said: “Not just doctors, but celebrity spokespeople, unsuspecting media, and cynical corporations” are also complicit in jumping on the bandwagon.
Off the back of this, one person commented, “Just waiting for Dan.”[iel Radcliffe] and emma [Watson] To apologize publicly… Rest assured, you will forgive them. ” However, the author argued that this is not necessarily the case. She answered:
“Unfortunately, it's not safe. Celebrities who have used their platforms to support a movement aimed at eroding women's hard-won rights and support the gender transition of minors. We won't have to apologize to traumatized transsexuals or vulnerable women who rely on single-sex spaces.”
Read Rowling's full statement, shared below. X/Twitter Under:
Over the past four years, Hilary Cass has conducted the most powerful review of medical evidence for children in transition ever undertaken. In the few hours since the document was released to the press and public, the number of enthusiastic ideologues has multiplied. These people make sure that autistic, homosexual, and abused children (groups that are overrepresented in gender clinics) are properly treated before they are sterilized and left as lifelong anorgasmic patients. They want to see that there are proper checks and balances in place, so they consider the opposition to be “far-right.” .
I understand that the conclusion of this review will have been a seismic shock to those who have hunted down and demonized whistleblowers and smeared opponents as bigots and transphobes, but Hillary… Attempts to undermine Kass's work are not just misguided. It's actively malicious. Where is your sense of self-preservation, even if you are not ashamed to root for what now appears to be gross medical malpractice, even if you don't want to admit that you might have been wrong? Is there one? The bandwagon you happily jumped on is hurtling towards a cliff. If I sound angry, it's because I am furiously angry. I read “Cas” this morning and my anger has been building throughout the day. Children are being irreparably harmed, and thousands of people are complicit, including not only medical professionals but also celebrity spokespeople, unsuspecting media, and cynical corporations.
The effects of this scandal will last for decades. You cheered it on. You did everything you could to sabotage the research and misrepresent it. You tried to bully people who opposed you out of their jobs. Young people are subjected to human experimentation, left infertile and inflicted with suffering.
I thought my last tweet would be my last, but I burst into tears. #CassReview may be a turning point, but it's too late for the detransitioners who have written me heartbreaking letters of regret. Today is not a victory, but a revelation of tragedy.
JK Rowling's involvement in the upcoming Harry Potter TV show has sparked a discourse that has seen the author subjected to constant hate online for over three years over her views on the transgender community.
Opinions are divided not only among fans of the author, but also among the stars of the Harry Potter series, with some supporting the author's comments, while others, such as Radcliffe and Watson, have publicly distanced themselves from Rowling with their own statements. There are some too. Back in 2020, Radcliffe shared his thoughts on the matter behind Rowling's tweet, in which he said:
“Transgender women are women too. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people, and the professional medical community has far more expertise on this subject than Joe or I. Contrary to all the advice offered by The Trevor Project, 78% of transgender and trans people reported that non-binary youth have been the target of discrimination because of their gender identity. It is clear that we need to do more to support gender and non-binary people, to ensure that their identities are not invalidated and that they do not cause further harm.”
Watson shared similar comments at the time, saying:
“Transgender people are who they say they are and have the right to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they are not who they say they are. there is.”
Following the conclusion of four years of research, detailed information on the report can be found here, but it is clear that this debate still has a long way to go before reaching a compromise where everyone agrees on the results.
