The recent stances of J.K Rowling have shocked many fans of Harry potter. After Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson took his turn to condemn the recent words of the British author on transgender people. The 30-year-old actress, who played Hermione Granger in all eight parts of the saga, spoke out on Twitter on Wednesday, June 10.
“Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned, or told that they are not who they say they are”, writes the heroine of Daughters of Dr. March. In a second tweet, Emma Watson addresses her fans directly: “I want my trans followers to know that I and many people around the world see you, respect you and love you for who you are”, continues the British actress. Emma Watson concludes her thread by wishing the entire trans community a proud month.
Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.

J.K Rowling speaks of “domestic violence”
After tweeting transphobic comments last week, J.K Rowling tried to explain in a long post published on its site this Wednesday, June 10. The author of the saga Harry potter notably revealed to have survived “Domestic violence and sexual assault”. A few days earlier, she had shared an article published on the site Devex, entitled “Creating a more egalitarian post-Covid-19 world for menstruating men”, commenting with an ironic message: “People who have their period? I’m sure we should have a word for these people. Someone help me. Feum? Famme? Feemm? “.
A few days earlier, the actor Daniel Radcliffe supported the transgender community remembering that “Trans women are women”. “Anything claiming the opposite erases the identity and dignity of transgender people”, said the man who played the famous wizard for many years.
