Daniel Radcliffe hopes JK Rowling trans tweets don’t ‘taint’ Harry Potter

Daniel Radcliffe hopes JK Rowling’s comments about gender will not “taint” the Harry Potter series for fans.

In a statement posted on an LGBT suicide prevention charity website, the actor said: “Transgender women are women.

“Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people.”

JK Rowling had been criticised for tweets taking issue with the phrase “people who menstruate”.

Radcliffe said this was not about “in-fighting” and added he felt “compelled to say something” because Rowling was responsible for the “course his life has taken”.
