‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe turned on author J.K. Rowling, on whose books the ‘Harry Potter’ films are based, over her refusal to deny biological sex.
As Variety reports:
“Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe posted a lengthy response on Monday to controversial anti-trans tweets posted by author J.K. Rowling on June 6.
“Transgender women are women,” Radcliffe wrote in an essay posted to the website of the Trevor Project, a non-profit dedicated to crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBTQ people. “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.”…
“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth,” Rowling wrote. “The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women — ie, to male violence — ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences — is a nonsense.”
The author was immediately criticized by an array of people, including prominent queer activists and organizations, for denying the lived consequences of trans people’s experiences. Many “Harry Potter” fans also expressed anguish that Rowling had damaged, perhaps irreparably, their love for the seven books.
Woke stars like Radcliffe have apparently completely capitulated to the radical left, and are now spouting what appears to be complete nonsense in order to appear virtuous.

Try convincing all those biological female athletes who are getting their butts kicked and dreams destroyed by the biological males stealing, yes stealing, the championships from them due to their natural biological athletic superiority.
Exactly….
And actually, in a big way, I’m glad it’s happening to them.
I love it when people learn a lesson…. especially when it’s the hard way.
Exactly, I do not care what you feel like or want to be, if you are born with testicles you are a male and if you are born with a uterus you are female. A female cannot grow testicles and a male cannot grow a uterus. You are what you are, you may feel like a woman, so enjoy your makeup and dresses but you will never Birth a child and you may feel like a man with your soccer prowess and short hair but you will never Father a child.
What gives you the right to define what is male and what is female for other people?
God?
It’s already defined by you were born with between your legs! Just because You feel like a cat, doesn’t make you one!
The right? It’s not a right, it’s science. Penis = male; vagina = female. It has nothing to do with rights.
Crawl back under your rock in your parent’s basement, cause the light must hurt your eyes.
DNA.
Well, science for one. You are either XX or XY and one cannot be the other. Artifical vaginas collapse, rejected by the body and without drugs one reverts to one’s biological state. To those who thinks otherwise, “your brains is twisted” as me old gran would say.
You hit the nail on the head!
There are men and women you’re one of the other that’s it. Cosmetic surgery changes absolutely nothing. Those that do change are often just as miserable and end up switching back or committing suicide. These people need mental help not a surgery to pretend to be something you’re not. I am so sick of this crap being crammed down my throat.
Is it like being Black, you are or you are not.
And even when you’re half and half…..
You’re still “black.”
Just ask Obama.
Do you consider Obama to be Black?
Are you a 1/16er or a 1 droper.
Why a idot. I thought you believed in science
People are born with both testicles and ovaries.
Which should be cut away?
Or should the baby just be tossed in the trash?
that is Michelle you are talking about. Remember when she danced with Ellen?????
Say it as loudly and as often as you want, but ‘trans-women’ are called that for a reason. They are not and never will be ‘women’. They don’t have ovaries or a uterus, the chromosome configuration, etc. of the female of the species. That is why they don’t menstruate or get pregnant in ‘child bearing’ years. So much for the party of ‘science’.
Idiot.
LMAO! There’s…..NO SUCH THING!! One CANNOT change their DNA/BIOLOGICAL make up! One CANNOT change their SKELETON STRUCTURE!! One CANNOT change their MUSCULAR STRUCTURE!! One CANNOT change their INTERNAL ORGANS!!! MALES and FEMALES are DIFFERENT! Always have been, ALWAYS WILL BE!! When one can change ALL of these things….THEN we’ll talk!! In the mean time…..THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS TRANS!!
If you’ve had the misfortune to see anything Ratcliffe has done recently you’ll understand why he is so confused.
If you’re sick in the head you’re sick, that goes for those who think being sick in the head isn’t sick . . . .risible ..
Who gets to decide who is sick in the head?
My guess is that you have more than a few detractors.
wearing a mask always to stay anonymous makes you a HYPOCRITE. Just another lefty extremist who cannot do anything on his own. Has to wait for the money the government dishes out? What do your parents say of you staying in their basement???
You are only fooling your self if you believe this bu.. sh.. your thoughts and desire changes nothing in nature so quit being so stupid
Does anonymous mean coward, why not tell everyone you are , lefty
It is to protect the innocent.
It is well within the capabilities of medical technology to install functioning ovaries and uteruses in those that choose.
Easier than a full heart lung transplant.
Do you think that research in this area should be a capital offense?
Modern living through ‘Science’……
Should Transwomen be prohibited from adopting?
What if the child the belongs to her biologically?
Transmen?
Most women do not want to menstruate at all, it is a bloddy mess.
All most all want to be pregnant verly rarely.
Would you cut off all communication if one of your kids chose to Trans?
I use to feel that way.
I was disgusted by the thought.
Then my bright and attractive tomboy ‘neice’ made the decision to go all the way.
I now have a bright, attractive, nephew.
His life companion attraction is to other Transmen.
Do you think that they should be prohibited from having a biological child?
America is the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Americans are free to express their sense of sexuality, mentally and physically.
So many are not brave enough to accept that.
Generally speaking people, who find it necessary to enclose the word science in apostrophes or quotation marks science education ended with 9th Grade General Science.
Deplorable.
Easier, a queer is a queer.
Everyone is queer one way or another.
Even the 5 minute missionary is pretty queer.
There is no such thing as a transgender. You are either man or woman. What are they going to come up with next?
Are you by any chance one of those scientists who think that sexual expression consists of two very rigid and distinct sexual roles?
What are the roles of your maiden aunt and her very dear friend?
Potter is starting to believe in poly juice potion!
Paying someone to mutilate one’s self is more than being a science denier. It’s most certainly masochistic. But then again I see people mutilate their earlobes so they can carry a couple of coffee saucers in them. Better them than me….
Oh well just another entertainer (and I use the term loosely) spewing garbage! Wait until one of these,so called,women ,who turn to a Male ,beat him out for a part in a movie? then we’ll see how generous this whimp is!!
I read an article today with stats on how many women and how many men are contracting Covid-19… what the article didn’t say was how many of the other 57 genders according to the lefty loons are also contracting the virus. Curious, even in the scientific world there are only 2 GENDERS!!!!
By the way Bruce Jenner, you are still a man regardless however, you’re pretending to be a woman, and a FRIGEN ugly one at that!
APPARENTLY DANNY BOY IS TAKING IT IN THE BUTT FROM HIS TRANSGENDER GIRLFRIEND !!!
Dear Daniel and all other IQ-challenged people,
A woman pretending to be a man is still a women; a man pretending to be a woman is still a man. My confusion is when talking about “trans women,” is that a woman pretending to be a man or a man pretending to be a woman? It’s all so confusing. And who is the Author of confusion?
You can call yourself the pope, it doesn’t make you the pope. A man can call himself the Easter Bunny, it doesn’t make him the Easter Bunny. A man can call himself a woman, it doesn’t make him a woman. I can’t believe I’d ever agree with JK Rowling’s about anything, but on this I do.
Why is it that with the coronavirus pandemic, the left has been screaming to accept science, but will deny that science (DNA) proves that Bruce Jenner is a male. No amount of wishing, or alteration of one’s “plumbing” will ever change the DNA. Mr. Radcliffe needs a crash course in science, it seems. JMO
Who cares.
It’s all fun and games until he/she/ they/ it, Menstruates through his penis….
Buffoon acts in a movie and is now the leading medical expert on how to determine ones sex. Danial just get you weenie out and wave it and everyone will recognize your gender if you are still confused.
!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HE LIKES THE OTHER SAUSAGE!!!!!!
When he matures a bit more and realizes science he can update his wrong opinion.
Genetics, you are either male or female. No matter what is said or done, that can’t change. So he’s a science denier.
The hospital in the US that pioneered sex change operations stopped it. Too many patients were committing suicide. Tells you all you need to know right there.
Daniel Radcliffe like most Hollywood types had forgot the old maxim….or perhaps his mother never told him.
“Best be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”
The whole subject is sick.
Alright Daniel, don’t make me want to quit watching Harry Potter movies. I do like them.
Radcliff is stupid
Would someone please point out to Radcliffe that Stupid Celebrities are Stupid celebrities!
Radcliffe is also saying that; Whoever says they are another person, then they really are.” and “Whoever is guilty and says they are innocent then they really are innocent”.
Obviously Radcliffe’s mother never told him “best be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt”!
He can blame his mother – did Radcliffe know his mother thinks she id a woman?
Oh…NOW you don’t believe in science.
