J.K. Rowling Criticizes David Tennant and the ‘Gender Taliban’ After Actor Slammed Trans Critics as ‘F—ers’ Who ‘Are on the Wrong Side of History’


David Tennant said critics of the transgender community are on the "wrong side of history." J.K. Rowling then called him out.

However until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn’t exist anymore — I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up — whilst we do live in this world I am honored to receive this.” Rowling later shared this Tennant quote on her X profile and criticized the actor, writing: “This man is talking about rape survivors who want female-only care, the nurses currently suing their health trust for making them change in front of a man, girls and women losing sporting opportunities to males and female prisoners incarcerated with convicted sex offenders.” In an interview with the Atlantic earlier this year, Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe revealed that he has had no direct contact with Rowling since her tweets in June 2020 that were criticized by many as anti-trans.
