J.K. Rowling, author and Harry Potter franchise star, has been a favorite target for the progressive mob since she spoke out against radical transgenderism during the summer 2020.
Here are her tweets, which drew the ire and ridicule of lefties around the globe.
It is absurd to think that trans women, like me, feel kinship because they are vulnerable in the same way women are.

Rowling is correct. Anyone who claims sex is real and that there are two distinct genders with different biological, physiological, emotional, and psychological differences is adhering the natural order and displaying at least an average amount of common sense. Rowling stated that it is true that men pretending to be women aren’t real women. However, Rowling’s statement is hateful to those who don’t want to hear it.
It’s not surprising that so many people from outside the franchise came for her head. But now, she has to deal with the hatred of some of the iconic actors.

The film’s Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe spoke to IndieWire about a letter that he wrote for Trevor Project’s website after Rowling posted her tweets. In it, he expressed his support for transgender individuals.
Radcliffe explained to IndieWire that she felt the need to speak up because, especially since finishing Potter, she’d met so many queer and trans children and young people who identified strongly with Potter. “And so seeing them hurt that day, I was like, I wanted them all to know that not everyone in the franchise felt that. That was very important.
What level are you identified with Potter? Only one thing makes sense is that Potter and Rowling might be considered outcasts of society. But even that comparison fails because trans people are widely celebrated by governments, businesses and sports teams. Rowling’s stance has been met with a lot of hate. It is disappointing that a prominent actor supports gender confusion in children and adults.
Radcliffe isn’t the only actor to criticize Rowling for her truthful stance. Emma Watson (who plays Hermione Gringer), Rupert Grint, Ron Weasley (Ron Weasley), Eddie Redmayne (“Fantastic Beasts”) franchise) have all attempted Avada Kedavra Rowling’s legacy at one point or another.
