However, Rowling called the report ‘the most robust review of the medical evidence for transitioning children that’s ever been conducted’.
The author claims the findings showed ‘kids have been irreversibly harmed’, adding: “Thousands are complicit, not just medics, but the celebrity mouthpieces, unquestioning media and cynical corporations.”
In response, a fan of Rowling said: “Just waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology… safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them…”
However, Rowling insists that she would not forgive the pair.
“Not safe, I’m afraid,” she wrote. “Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-s#x spaces.”
Fans have since rushed to Radcliffe and Watson’s defence, with one X user writing: “Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe don’t need forgiveness for being compassionate human beings and they weren’t offering you an apology.”
Somebody else weighs in, commenting: “Wait – what have Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe got to apologise to Rowling for? They were in the films of her books when they were kids, she doesn’t own them. That’s some really weird feudal s*** there…”
