I absolutely applaud her stand on this matter. If you are born a female you are a female and if you are a male you are a male. No questions about it. If you want to pretend that you are something other than your biological self then you could always wait until your next life and then maybe you might be born to what you want to be. But as far as this life if you’re a male act like a male and if you’re a female then act like a female.
Books and their characters have a life of their own, independent of the author. I don’t applaud Rowling’s stance, but I wouldn’t pass the blame on to Harry. Hermione, or anyone else in the Harry Potter world.
I love how the act like .5% is going to cancel the show. The Real backlash is from the horrible and I mean horrible casting. The real Harry Potter fans will now watch this. They will have the same rating as the Acolyte. How did that go. It was a shit show and no-one watched. It was a disgrace to Star Wars and the real fans. Also, a man cannot be a woman. They can play pretend, but the fact is they are a frigging man.

Yes it’s bigoted to think that people have a right to their opinions without fear of attack. JK Rowling can think what she wants. If someone who is born male wants to change genders and pronouns, go for it. It’s when you force everyone around you to participate in your fantasy or risk personal attacks and constant attempts to cancel your entire life that you are pushing it. No one has the right to force their personal life choices on other people. Or take things away from people to somehow right a wrong in the genetic lottery. That doesn’t make people who don’t agree with you bigoted. Or transphobic. This constant assertion is only driving away people who might be supporters. Stop throwing that bullshite accusation around. It’s not true and it creates more division and vitriol. It certainly is clear where ITM falls. No doubts on that one.
Changing the gender is clearly mental illness. It means that you know better than God. It is ego involvement into the work of nature. Life is hard enough by itself and I think there is something basically wrong with TG people and they need mental therapy. So I fully support Rowling view. Its also unspiritual. It means individual is totally identified ” I am physical body”. That means one is identified with temporary vehicle for the soul, it is deeply ignorant and such people need long meditation sessions therapy as well as spiritual education. TG community mostly hold such materialistic views as “I am this body”. Then everything about body becomes important. Such people are heavy burden for the soul. We are spiritual beings with temporary body and one should not care about changing the gender. But if people wants to suffer let them suffer. I would not prevent it by law, if people want to do it let them. But its such ignorance to change the gender.
I’ll give you that it is not normal, as in the accepted sense of being male or female, but it’s harsh to label it a mental illness. Hormones are a powerful thing and different people have different levels that affect how they develop. I have no beef with trans people, they can be and act as they please and I would think no less of them. But, I’m totally with JKR and the UK law on born women having single sex safe spaces. Not because of a fear or hatred of Trans people, they are what they are. But because tgere will be predatory males who will exploit a loophole that gives them acces. That’s the issue not trans people. And trans people ought to be able to see that threat, without thinking anyone hates them, including JKR. I’m with her on puberty blocking too, because how a child feels, isn’t necessarily how they will feel post puberty. Action before that is premature and potentially damaging. All this so called woke intolerance and canceling is over the top given that the concerns of JKR and other women are perfectly valid. It’s an opinion, if you disagree, that’s your right, but try thinking how others might feel rather than be engrossed in self, self, self.
Wishful thinking on the part of the author. Firstly actors do not need to pull out to protect their careers, they need to shut up and get on with their job.The vast majority of the public are on JKR’s side, and many will want to see the series made, so pulling our will more likely label them as woke and cause audiences to shun them, not the series.
I Can’t Stand Her and I won’t give her another Penny from me as long as I live, and can’t believe my home country stooped so low,
It left me absolutely disgusted, fuming and heartbroken, and feel really upset for my friends who are transgender.
There’s a night a day difference between a person who has a full Sex change, e.g. goes through long painful, intense major surgery and also hormone replacement, and artificial genitals of the gender they’re changing too etc… and a person who simply enjoys dressing in the opposite genders clothing,
Transgender people aren’t just people who like to dress like the opposite gender, they have had a full sex change.
I grew up with Harry Potter and am a huge Fan, but I will never ever be buying Hogwarts Legacy or watching any future Harry Potter series or films, after the Author has shown her True colours.
Harry Potter is all about Equality, Inclusion and Fairness no matter who you are, that’s one of the reasons why I love it so much,
The author has quite clearly shown she’s about anything but equality, Inclusion and Fairness, so making anymore Harry Potter stuff makes her a Hypocrite!
All any LGBTQ+ person wants is their Basic Human Rights and to be included, treated fairly and with respect, the same as everybody else, It’s not much to ask!
Comments for Is the ‘Harry Potter’ Reboot About To Be Canceled?

Given that they’re probably race and gender swapping every major character, and they saw what happened with Snow White it’s no surprise.
Chris
If they were going to keep to the books they’ve already failed with who they casted
