In a tweet shared Wednesday, the author responded to a fan who said they were “waiting” on the actors to give her “a very public apology,” adding that they were “safe in the knowledge” that Rowling would “forgive them.” Both actors have spoken out against rhetoric from Rowling widely called out as transphobic, with Radcliffe, for example, sharing an open letter back in 2020.
“Not safe, I’m afraid,” Rowling, who last year said she would “happily” go to jail for her anti-trans views, said on Wednesday. “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.”
Over the last four years, Hilary Cass has conducted the most robust review of the medical evidence for transitioning children that's ever been conducted. Mere hours after it was released to the press and public, committed ideologues are doubling down. 1/6 https://t.co/J4fA4JYgkC

Rowling isn’t the only public figure to have become bizarrely obsessed with trans issues later into their career. Dave Chappelle, of course, has taken a similar route, with fellow comedian Jerrod Carmichael among those questioning why, exactly, an artist would willingly undermine their own legacy.
