TV host Graham Norton has reportedly left Twitter after he recently came under fire following an interview at the Cheltenham Literary Festival. When asked about rising cancel culture, trans rights and JK Rowling, Graham responded to the question raising the point of accountability.
Underlining that transgender adults and young people in particular should be listened to, Norton's comments began to circulate online capturing the negative gaze of JK Rowling. He said: "I'm very aware that, as a bloke on the telly, your voice can be artificially amplified, and once in a blue moon, that can be a good thing, but most of the time, it's just a distraction.
"Talk to trans people, talk to the parents of trans kids, talk to doctors, talk to psychiatrists, to someone who can illuminate in some way. If you want to talk about something, talk about the thing, you don't need to attach a Kardashian or whatever to a subject, the subject should be enough in itself."
