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. In response to Rowling’s comments, “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe penned an open letter that reads, “Transgender women are women. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives.” Rowling continued to double down on her position in the years that followed. “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction,” the author wrote. Rowling drew backlash in June 2020 when she posted a series of tweets in which she argued that discussing gender identity negates biological sex. It’s just a woman saying, ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’ And I understand where she’s coming from. But it’s not some obscene, über-right-wing fascist. The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling.”įiennes continued, “I mean, I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. “It’s about how you become a better, stronger, more morally centered human being.

It looks like we all owe Ralph Fiennes nieces and nephews a big thank you. I think the clincher was that my sister Martha – who has three children who were then probably about 12, 10 and 8 – she said, 'What do you mean? You’ve got to do it!' So then I rewound my thinking. Out of ignorance I just sort of thought, this isn’t for me… Quite stupidly I resisted, I was hesitant. Mike Newell was directing the film that they wanted me to be in… the first time Voldemort was going to appear physically. The truth is I was actually ignorant about the films and the books. In the James Bond series he has played Gareth Mallory / M, the head of MI6, in Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015) and No Time to Die (2021). He recently explained this, and how his family helped him change his mind. Fiennes starred in the Harry Potter film series (20052011) as the main antagonist Lord Voldemort.
