They ‘can save their apologies’: JK Rowling blasts 'Harry Potter' stars for trans stance

Author JK Rowling has revealed she will “never forgive” Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson after they publicly advocated for transgender rights.
Ms Rowling last week responded to a tweet that suggested Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson were safe from the author's wrathed.
“Not safe, I’m afraid,” Rowling tweeted.
“Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces.”
‘To Di For Daily' podcast host Kinsey Schofield joined Sky News host Rita Panahi to discuss the latest on JK Rowling.

I remember at age 14 “borrowing” my brother’s Levi jeans, putting my long hair under a baseball cap, and pretending to be a boy (in the early 1960’s). I longed to be a boy, because of the freedom boys seemed to have. By age 16, you couldn’t have given me a million dollars to change into a boy. I was all girl, and loved it - still do! What if during this vulnerable time, a wise-ass school counselor would have observed and worked behind my parent’s back to secretly transition me and it was irreversible? Holy cow!

When I was 13, I considered transitioning. 14 years old and I was getting ready to ask my parents to transition. At 15, I was glad I didn't transition, because I grew out of that phase. I'm 16 now and sometimes I'm a tomboy, other times I'm a girly girl and I'm GLAD as HELL I didn't transition. Adults wanting kids to transition is DANGEROUS, because kids at some point will go through a "Gender Dilemma" phase, but grow out of it eventually, And by the time they transition, a few years after they'll grow out of the Delimma and regret transitioning. This message is to all the transgenders: _Years from now, you'll regret transitioning. You'll want to go back to your original gender. But the damage has been done._ And: _Don't expect us to accept you for who you ARE, when you couldn't accept yourself for who you WERE._

[@wanted-deadoralive204]

No. Some transgenders do not regret transitioning. Don’t lump everyone onto the same side.

[@MilkyWayMarsBar]

@@wanted-deadoralive204 Wait until those transgenders turn 60. They'll regret it. On top of that, transitioning can give you colon cancer, and many other kinds of cancers, which is why most transgenders live until, like, 60, and if they're lucky, 70.

I even went on to train and did karate and culturism at an agonistic level with a bunch of other boys hidden in a basement, until I got caught and punished to not leave my home for a month... By the age 14 I discovered suddenly I was a beautiful girl and boys were looking at me differently, I put on my first dress and high heels, got my makeup done and did my own eyebrows and nails, which made every boy in town turn around to look at me. I still remember that feeling. I also had my first date around same age. I never ever wanted to be a boy again, I felt just extremely flattered of my femininity and beauty.

This is why you never transfer affection for a character to the actor. You rarely ever get to know their real personality or real opinions. I respect many actors for their work. I don't make the mistake of liking any based on their roles or on interviews. Like politicians, an actor's career depends on being someone else, convincingly. We never see the real person most of the time, and when we do, we find all too iften they have useful knowledge the depth of a puddle in a parking lot.

J.K. has always displayed in her writings an outstanding and almost heroic effort to represent all people as equal, whether it be the capacity to be equally good, equally bad and if "bad" equally redeemable. Almost no cultural taboo went unrecognized in her writings and never was there a time in which any taboo mentioned took a front seat. In fact often like in the case of Snape where acting as Harry's secret guardian, the prejudices leveled against him often led the reader to a "shame on you for your assumptions." mentality. Dumbledore was revealed to be gay, but the brilliance of how it was presented led to nothing more than a, "Oh so that makes more sense now." moment. His integrity, intelligence, humor and character remained the same throughout the reveal process. That is what "equality" looks like. Those who wish to remove the rights of one group to elevate their own and live by separate standards. That would be "inequality." To Ms. Rowling, thank you for standing up for equality for all. To those who cannot see it, have no worries, if this brave woman can be attacked after what she's contributed, someone will be after your rights soon enough as well.
