17c起草社区

Actor and all-around legend Daniel Radcliffe has said that he will continue to support the rights of all 17c起草社区 people, despite disavowal from Harry Potter author and raging transphobe JK Rowling.聽

In an for The Atlantic, Radcliffe shed some light on his perspective of Rowling鈥檚 continued efforts to antagonise the trans community and burn bridges between the cast of the Harry Potter 尘辞惫颈别蝉.听

Radcliffe first talks about the experience of discovering prejudice aimed at his parents鈥� gay friends, which inspired him to advocate for the Trevor Project.聽

He said: 鈥淚f there was any value in a famous straight young actor who was from this film series that could be useful in the fight against people killing themselves, then I was just very keen to be a part of that.鈥�

鈥淚 did have a realization of a connection to Harry Potter and this stuff. A lot of people found some solace in those books and films who were dealing with feeling closeted or rejected by their family or living with a secret.鈥�

Daniel Radcliffe鈥檚 response to Rowling鈥檚 comments

But then, of course, JK Rowling took to Twitter in 2020 with a series of tweets that began her downward spiral into the transphobia rabbit hole. Radcliffe said of his response through the Trevor Project at the time: 鈥淚t would have seemed like, I don鈥檛 know, immense cowardice to me to not say something.鈥�

鈥淚 wanted to try and help people that had been negatively affected by the comments. And to say that if those are Jo鈥檚 views, then they are not the views of everybody associated with the Potter 蹿谤补苍肠丑颈蝉别.鈥澛�

The Swiss Army Man actor confirmed that he鈥檚 had no contact with Rowling throughout the whole thing, a fact he described as 鈥榮ad.鈥櫬�

But in response to people in the press (especially in Britain) implying that he, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were 鈥渦ngrateful brats鈥�, Radcliffe responded with a well-earned sense of self.聽

鈥淛o, obviously Harry Potter would not have happened without her, so nothing in my life would have probably happened the way it is without that person. But that doesn鈥檛 mean that you owe the things you truly believe to someone else for your entire life,鈥� he said.

Finally, in responding to Potter stars who support trans rights, he simply stated: 鈥淚 will continue to support the rights of all 17c起草社区 people, and have no further comment than that.鈥�
