J.K. Rowling Criticizes Gender-Affirming Care for Minors, Unforgiving of ‘Harry Potter’ Stars’ Stance

J.K. Rowling voiced her concerns on X about Dr. Hilary Cass’s report questioning the evidence behind gender-affirming care for minors.

Rowling criticized those, including “Harry Potter” stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who advocate for “transitioning minors.”

She emphasized her inability to forgive them for their stance, even if they apologized. Rowling praised Cass’s review, calling it a robust examination of transitioning children.

She expressed anger over the irreversible harm caused to young people and criticized those who supported what she sees as medical malpractice. When prompted for an apology from the “Harry Potter” actors, Rowling dismissed the idea, urging them to apologize to affected detransitioners and women.
