Emma Watson revealed how complicated her relationship with J.K. Rowling is, admitting that there will always be a part of her that deeply “loves” the celebrated author despite Rowling’s comments about the trans community. Rowling, meanwhile, has increasingly taken petty jabs at the three main stars of the film adaptations while propping up the upcoming reboot.
Rowling insists her disdain for the trans community is driven by traumatized people who are “detransitioning” and by trans women she claims have invaded “single sex spaces.” For all the criticism she receives, Rowling remains one of our most efficient writers, often making her arguments sound reasonable — reframing the ridiculous sounding bathroom debate, for instance, as one of “single sex spaces.”
