Daniel Radcliffe Is 'Really Sad' About J.K. Rowling's Anti-Trans Views

Daniel Radcliffe said J.K. Rowling’s controversial stance on the transgender community ‘makes [him] really sad’

The author, who has faced backlash for anti-trans comments over the years, responded to an X user who noted they were “waiting for Dan and Emma to give [Rowling] a very public apology” and felt “safe in the knowledge that” she would “forgive them” for speaking out against her views. “While Jo is unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken, as someone who has been honored to work with and continues to contribute to The Trevor Project for the last decade, and just as a human being, I feel compelled to say something at this moment. “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.”
