'Harry Potter' Star Rupert Grint Turns on J.K. Rowling

3-3 minutes

Actor Rupert Grint has become the latest Harry Potter star to turn on author J.K Rowling after she cited the scientific fact transgender women are unable to menstruate.

In an essay last week, Rowling reaffirmed her stance that one’s biological sex is both important and irreversible and should not be viewed merely as a social construct.

She wrote:

If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth…The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women — ie, to male violence — ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences — is a nonsense.

Grint, whose career was made by Rowling after he was chosen to play Harry Potter’s best friend Ronald Weasley in the film franchise, backed his fellow cast members in effectively denouncing Rowling for her comments.

“I firmly stand with the trans community and echo the sentiments expressed by many of my peers. Trans women are women. Trans men are men,” he told the Sunday Times. “We should all be entitled to live with love and without judgment.”

Both Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who played the roles of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, have also spoken out against the woman who made their careers over her supposedly backward views.

“Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are,” Watson wrote on Twitter shortly after Rowling published her essay.

“Transgender women are women,” added Radcliffe in a statement earlier this week. “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.”

The widespread attacks on Rowling are all the more surprising given her previously impeccable progressive credentials. A long-time supporter of the British Labour Party, she was left devastated by the country’s decision to leave the European Union.

She has also previously described President Donald Trump as “worse than Voldemort,” the main villain of her books who she once compared to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Aaaaah no they aren't. What ever their DNA says they are......that's what they are. Changing the outward appearance does not change the inner design and originality. Wishing you where a bird does not make you a bird. Put on a bird suit, flap your wings as hard as you like and jump off your roof. All you're going to do is hit the ground with a big splat!! That's reality folks.

The only "real" women had to have been men first, according to the Woke.

Tell me that's not misogynist.

And ask yourself how "cishet"* got to be a term of derision.

*"cishet": "cisgendered" heterosexual; in other words, someone who knows that they are their biological sex.

the brainwashing is going well,
next goal is to make them think when it is raining that it really is dry out and that rain is racist because it starts with the same letter . then they will gather by the thousands in the streets every rainy day and protest by trying to stop the rain drops.

This makes me really angry. I mean, it does anyway, just because it's against everything God intended, but it makes me really angry because, as a real woman, they are trying to take an identity that belongs to me and applying it to someone that it doesn't belong to. IOW, the female identity is being cheapened--as is the male identity when it comes to transgender "males."

No, it's the actor who portrayed Ron Weasley, one of the three main characters. All three main characters are apparently WOKE.

Oh I get it NOW, I was just comfortably ignorant of the issue. My wife has read them all and watched them all, and it's of zero interest to me. On the other hand, she has no use for LOTR, which I think is great (until the last three films, of course.)

Once upon a time scientific consensus was the sun and planets revolved around the earth...

… and you were a heretic if you tried to present truth and facts that wasn't true

June 22, 1633 “We pronounce, judge, and declare, that you, the said Galileo… have rendered yourself vehemently suspected by this Holy Office of heresy, that is, of having believed and held the doctrine (which is false and contrary to the Holy and Divine Scriptures) that the sun is the center of the world, and that it does not move from east to west, and that the earth does move, and is not the center of the world.”

It took until 1822 before it finally changed it's mind and accepted the facts they had it backwards

Who knew that our so called advanced civilization with all its scientific knowledge, would turn around and put their deranged dogma in place and ignore the biological FACT of XX and XY?

What's next, Spanish inquisition type trials against we heathens who point out their stupidity and folly????

Thanks for the historical background! Interesting read.

Regarding your question "What's next, Spanish inquisition type trials against we heathens who point out their stupidity and folly????"

If they win, the answer is 'Yes'.

But the trials will be held on Social Media, and the Sentences will be carried out by employers, colleagues, perhaps even LE (Blue Flu), Vendors, Medical Professionals...

Rowling was a classics major. HP is just an imaginative reworking of LOTR. All the same cast of characters and similar plot actually. If one looks at story archetypes.

Those kids are all indoctrinated. Honestly, with as messed up as most of the child stars turn out to be, there should be a law that you can't work in tinsletown or broadway until you are at least 21 years of age.
