I dont understand why ppl are so invested in other ppl's opinion.why does JK even care about sm non entities calling her names? Why is everyone so scared of being canceled? N what is this cancelation anyway? The actors have sold their integrity for ambition..why even care what idiots think?
Absolutely disgraceful , they have stabbed her in the back after the opportunity she gave them, made them wealthy, successful people and this is how they repay her. I hope the same courtesy is shown to them someday.
Spineless, science denying idiots who think the general public will be impressed by hollow and deranged PR stunts which is insulting to our collective intelligence. They couldn't even stand with JK Rowling when she was the target of the most violence rape and death threats I've ever had the misfortune to witness. I have no respect for those spoiled brats whatsoever.
To be perfectly honest, the actors are their own people, they can do or think whatever they want. What do you expect, them to give their first born child to J.K. just because they worked on films based on her books?! Give them a little bit of credit, that they've got the ability to think for themselves.
I think the most outrageous part is people calling for her to "gracefully" distance herself from the Harry Potter franchise. A bunch of nobodies who've achieved nothing saying that the woman who created a near-universally beloved fictional UNIVERSE should not be associated with it because they got their panties in a bunch over bullpoop ideas. It infuriates me.
Oh yeah, trust me, you're not the only one. To be honest, even if I don't like the creator, I would never try to erase their identity. The link between the creator and their art form will always be there. You can't claim anything...So if they can't get a grip of themselves, the best option is for them to "gracefully" step away from her and her work. Far away into the land of lunatics where they belong.
J K Rowling transformed the lives of the likes of Emma Watson, and now they treat her like something nasty on the soles of their feet. Ingratitude is one of the worst vices. Her and the others think they are being principled, but in reality they are making themselves look small, petty and vindictive. Shame on them.
Well that's the problem. The Sisterhood trashes Western culture but when the Mob attacks them they expect US to support THEM. Sorry women & girls & tr*nsunicorns it doesn't work like that
including so called attractive thai lady boys. part of the problem is some men see women as sex objects so think if a man can do loads of surgery they can become a woman. but that is not how it works. it also doesn;t help we have an unfettered porn industry that teaches society that women are sex objects. these two are linked.
True. But they're not doing that, so there isn't really a problem. It's actually pretty rare for men to call themselves women. That's not to say it never happens, I'm sure it can. On a planet of 7 billion there's got be at least 5 of everything, right? But it's not something I've seen.
I agree with the biology, absolutely, I don't agree with her acting like she's in an authority position and has any right to act like she knows better than anyone else.
I’m sick of people who try to destroy anyone who doesn’t agree with, their often Barmy, ideas. JKR has said nothing wrong or controversial, & only what the majority of the country actually thinks if they dare to voice their true opinions.
Good for you both, saying it the way it is. Emma Watson and the rest of the cowards can pound sand for all I care. I stand behind JK Rowlings 100% Thank you for talking about this issue. Hello from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
Female gender biologically carries the XX Chromosome. Male gender carries the XY chromosome. If a person transitions from Male to Female or Female to Male, they will still carry the genetic code of the sex they were born as. There's no way around it. So trans Females and trans males are the sex they were when they were born no matter how much surgery they have had or how they look or feel.
Absolutely correct. This is my argument too. What about changing your race? What about changing your species? A cat will always be a cat, a dog will always be a dog. Sorry I don't want to offend anyone but we all need to get real. There are far more important issues going on in the world that need our attention.
@@samanthaostrowski6755 I look at it from the perspective of citizenry of a country. I was born Canadian. I can live for a time in another country, I can adopt the customs, speak the language, know everything there is to know about it - but I was not born there. I am still Canadian by birth.
So a woman with androgen insensitivity disorder isn't a woman because she has XY chromosomes? Sex (the biological category) is complicated (because biology is complicated) , and gender (the social category) is more than a little made up (because social categorisations pretty much are).
Jk Rowling is brave and I admire anyone who stands up against the worlds social media and projects their views that differ from the main stream narrative. Shutting people down does not create understanding.
It's absurd Emma Watson calls herself a feminist. Feminism centers women and girls, not men's and boys fantasies. Transphobia just means someone told the truth,
She says she stands with all women but there's no way in hell I want Emma Watson to stand for me. No-one elected her. She wouldn't think I'm a woman anyway because I don't have a penis, ffs!
Word to the wise, chum, it's only "defamation" if it's not true.. Laurence Fox and Katie Hopkins actually found out what "defamation" was.. To their considerable expense... Oh, how we all laughed..
How has such a tiny minority of the population gained so much power over society and do they really not see how it’s going to end, it’s the job of government to govern for the good of the majority with tolerance for the inevitable minorities that sit outside the normal bounds of society in general.
They *think* they have power, and for a time, it seemed that way. But believe me when I say that the tide will turn against these idiots, in fact it already has, with the ruling that transgender men cannot take part (cheat!) in women's swimming events. People like Emma Watson and her ilk will come to rue the day they did not support the woman who made them famous, one very good reason being, they're not that great at acting.
Because that tiny minority have been weaponised. it's not that minority, or any minority for that matter, which has the real power which makes things happen, it's the people who control the information flow, the money, and the public perception by using any given minority group as a means to instill fear in the wider majority. You will see this when you pay attention to how different groups are treated in mainstream media coverage, which ones are promoted, which ones aren't, and even worse which ones are persecuted.
I think jk Rowling is a absolutely lovely woman can’t believe certain people haven’t supported her. She would have learnt one thing who friends are. She said absolutely nothing controversial just stating facts the world needs to start waking up Before it’s to late.
Funny how everyone is so concerned about trans right but want to take rights from everyone else. Politicians and the self appointed activists think they have the right to tell women not to use the word women.
It’s the insignificant minority attacking JK, and the well known people who have just jumped on the bandwagon virtue signalling so called do gooders. Emma Watson and Daniel Harry Potter whatever his name is, have only known fame from JK’s fantastic creation of Harry Potter. It’s disgusting what these people are doing to JK, I fully support her.
I never commented on this kind of stuff before Bill C-16 was released in Canada. Now it's escalated and it's actually men in women's sports that are causing me to want to speak out. I never used to identify as a feminist - I just never thought there was anything we needed to fight for. Now I agree with you - everything women back then fought for is unravelling. And ironically - it's not because of Roe Vs Wade being overturned it's because our very identity is being ripped away.
@@harmonymiller1211 it's honestly sad to see. All those stereotypes that we fought against are now being used to define someone's 'gender'. Our safe spaces, fairness/equality are at risk. Even femininity is being seen as weakness so you now have some women trying to compete with or aim to be exactly like men. We all should have equal access but we're designed differently. Seeing people validate someone self hate and confirming they must be in the wrong body is heart breaking.... we already have children hating their own image, plastic surgeons are raking it in.... now this and their sexuality! 😔
It is so sad that she has been made the public enemy #1 of trans people by activists - evil personified. But when the the definition of "transphobia" is "anything that hurts trans people" you cannot have a discussion grounded in reality. Just because you disagree with the trans ideology, that does not mean that you don't see trans people as real people who deserve the same basic respect as others. They are also subject to the same rules of criticism and their identity and victimization should not shield them from that.
The trans ideology is that they exist and that they are real people, so it's not actually possible to be against the "trans ideology" and also see them as real people. Similar to the gay agenda and the black and brown agenda, the trans agenda is to exist.
@@hazelangus Let's look at this more closely. There are people who believe that it is somehow possible to be "born in the wrong body" (with no explanation as to how that happens) and other descriptions of "trans" (that they have a "female brain in a male body," again, without any valid explanation. There is no objective medical test that proves that anyone is "trans.") These people believe it is possible to be "trans." These people exist. But that doesn't mean that the condition they believe they have exists. No one is denying they exist. No one is denying that they are real people. We are just denying that the condition they claim they have exists. It only exists in their beliefs. It is a psychological condition, not a physical one.
Love Jk, she has a right to say what she thinks and feels, just like we all have. I am a man and she is a woman who has her own views and is allowed to think and speak.
With the recent changes in women's sport we are now seeing the fightback for women's rights (I.e. women from birth) from the silent majority and these talentless actors like Emma Watson and Tom Feltham will be brushed aside.
Spot on, as ever. This ridiculous era that we are in has to stop soon, where we deny obvious facts. It makes my blood boil hearing ridiculous terms like birth givers, chest feeding etc. We CAN have womens rights and trans rights too, they are not mutually exclusive. What can the trans community hope to achieve by introducing nonsense terms. I get all of my trans content from Blaire White's RUclips channel, Blaire is excellent and talks the kind of common sense that used to be common.
I am also a fan of Blaire White, you might want to watch The Offensive Tranny channel too. They are the voice of common sense - as in 2+2 = 4, as in an 40yo man is not an 8yo girl, dear Martyn Blackburn.
I would also like to add that autism affects women and men differently. So a trans-woman with autism will be affected differently from those born female. Yes, there is a spectrum, but even for women higher up on the spectrum, it still affects them differently to men on the higher end. Whether it's down to biology as well as society, it's much harder to detect autism in women as we have been conditioned to hide it, whereas "boys will be boys". I was 21 when I was diagnosed with autism and that's only because I was seeking therapy at the time and found a good therapist. To this day my older brother accuses me of not having autism because it looks nothing like the autism portrayed in men in films, and I even have friends who have no idea I have autism. Women and trans-women are different - why can't we be celebrating those differences rather than attacking anyone who claims there are differences? I'm 25 now and am ashamed of my generation for this hate bandwagon disguised as 'love', that we have created! Just because we're all different doesn't mean we're not equal! (I'll have to check out Blaire White, I've never heard of them before)
I think the argument that Radcliffe, Watson et al. should support J.K. Rowling because 'she made them famous' is misplaced. They were hired by a film production company as actors, and this does not require them to agree with or support anyone involved on political issues. The reason they should support her is that, with the possible exception of Emma Watson, they know that she is right. Unfortunately their careers depend on them pretending otherwise, which is the real problem.
very well said, agree with everything. If her opinions were truly bigoted, noone certainly should support her just because she hepled their carreer...But as was said in the video - they should know that she isnt a transphobic person.... Or are they really so hypnotized by all this woke nonsense?
@@suc125 I think they know very well that JKR is a decent person because of the working relationship they had with her. They may well would prefer to have a neutral 'don't know and don't care' position on JKR's alleged sins, but have to operate in a world where neutrality is not a option. The agnostic is just as bad as the unbeliever, and will be punished accordingly.
Actually Rowling had a very prominent say in the casting process. It was her call to cast Watson though she was a lot prettier than Hermione Granger of the book. And even Radcliffe got the go ahead despite not having the bottle-green eyes and unruly hair as the character is originally written. So yes, she did have a role in making them who they are today. And it is also true that neither have proved to be much post HP. Fans of the book were willing to accept these deviations only because Rowling endorsed it. I also recall reading that Rowling had placed a condition that prominent roles are filled out by British actors. What's truly appalling about their conduct is that for all the virtue signalling that they do, they do not know how to express dissent without disrespect.
If they cannot support her, they should abstain from any comment at all. It is called loyalty and it is fast disappearing in the rush to rubbish everything decent and truthful. Shameful. Remember the old saying, ‘If you cannot say something nice about someone, say nothing at all’. Silence is golden and allows no interpretation.
Sorry, Julia. But Daniel Radcliffe is NOT a good actor. I have seen many of his post-Harry Potter films and his acting is appauling at how bad it is and how much of a mediocre actor he is.
Yeah, his acting was bland at best. He couldnt express his emotions well on his face. The only emotions he expressed is through his voice but it doesnt synchronise with his face expressions🤦🏻♀️
After what she did for these actors, I would know exactly where my loyalties lay. A little bit of gratitude wouldn't go amiss from these spoilt actors that wouldn't even have a career had it not been for Jk Rowling. You may have differences of opinion on certain topics but you do not stab someone in the back that made you the successful, wealthy, people they are today. JK Rowling didn't say anything that wasn't truthful and biologically correct.
@@scottmcmahon86 if her books and films had not been so popular and earned so much acclaim, the actors, makeup artists etc would not have got more work on the back of the experience received. Who do you think gets the work, the actor from a film nobody has heard of or the one that was in a hit movie.
I quite agree with Julia. JK Rowling is not transphobic in what she’s said. These young upstart “actors” were made famous by JK Rowling and have all turned against her for saying nothing nasty at all! For being factual. For having an opinion other than theirs! Disgraceful!
absolutely Shameful those actors that played in harry potter not siding with j k Rowling. in an issue that was so obvious about trans. they wouldn't of been this famous if it wasn't for j k Rowling . 🤔🤷🏼♀️
well, they dont have to support her if they dont agree with her just because she helped them get famous....but they are either hypnotized by all this bulsh*t that pretends to be something good, or they just fear for their careers as was suggested...yes this is shame for them
@@RJMiller73 Umm... but they're using her story. She created the world of Harry Potter. They can find another director to direct the movies. JK is irreplacable because without her, Harry Potter would have never been created in the first place.😅 She's so amazing that UK Prime Minister David Cameron practically made May 2 a holiday called "Harry Potter Day". Which other author has managed to achieve in creating a legit holiday out of their creation? I kid you not.🤩
JK has said nothing but the truth...every single word! They know they will be cancelled if they stand with her. They may have played her characters, but have shown they have no character of their own! Pathetic little creatures...Creature...he was one of the characters they would have played beautifully.
If trans people want to go through the gender change process, then that is their sovereign right to do so. However neither they, nor anyone else has the right to prevent me from calling myself a woman, a lady or a female...I am a female biological entity by birth and it is my sovereign right to remain so. My DNA dictates that I am a woman..,no matter what medical procedures I may or may not choose to go through. I can't help but wonder if all these celebrities and high profile people and organisations have actually consulted the trans community on these issues, or if they are blindly jumping on a socio-political propaganda train because it is deemed to be the current trend and will get them attention.
Nobody is stopping anyone calling themselves a woman (except the transphobes). Gender neutral language is used when referring to a large group of people whose gender identity is unknown. A person with a uterus could be a woman, or he could be a trans man, or they could be non-binary. The purpose of gender neutral language is for trans and nb people to not feel excluded.
That Emma Watson & Co have spoken out against Rowling, but haven't spoken out against the rape and murder threats that the trans activists have made to Rowling speaks VOLUMES. Promoting an ideology is obviously more important to them than the safety of females.
Can the people giving death threats be named? You know, drag them to court and turn a bright light in them. You can bet the death threats game would stop soon enough.
This has been TOO LATE IN COMING! Being aware of biological fact, and against extreme trans activists who are interfering in our sex based legislature, is NOT being transphobic! And many people in the trans community agree as well. I was FURIOUS with the Harry Potter stars worrying too much about their own popularity to even consider thinking clearly about this issue. Shame on them, and shame on the so-called feminists who have taken this lazy and ignorant stance .
@katja peeters Hi, I most certainly don’t forget that the majority of trans people are fine folks, I have 2 trans friends and I know this. But these politicial trans activists are actually changing legislation and wiping away womens rights. Not to mention spouting absolute crap about biology. GENDER does not equal BIOLOGICAL SEX! Simple as that.
Drives me crazy. IF she had started saying “trans people suck” and “these people shouldn’t have rights,” then yes, I would agree that she’s a transphobe and people would have the right to distance themselves from her professionally. But she said nothing of the sort! She actually said that in many cases, transitioning is the right path for people. She’s been so misquoted and thrown under every bus of public opinion, it makes me furious.
Anyone would prefer if she was saying "trans people suck". That's a lot less impactful than funding and publicly supporting laws that go deeply against the rights of trans people. You keep telling yourself she's not doing that, but the fact is she wrote an entire essay with colossal amounts of missinformation on the subject.
As a general rule, far too much weight is given to the opinions of actors and reality TV people. Being an actor doesn't qualify you for anything. Perhaps they should just be quiet and thank their lucky stars that they're paid so much for essentially doing what toddlers do ie living in a make believe world.
It'll return have no fears about that. Once the global cooling escalates and crops fail we'll be back to Medieval Germany Hexejagd, 17th century England under the Witchfilnder General and the Puritan colonies of North America.
The key point here is if you ask these finger pointers if they read what JK Rowling wrote, their answer is either silence or "No.". The funniest part, though is when Emma Watson said she would consider doing another Harry Potter film if JK Rowling isn't involved. She really isn't very bright, is she? Does she think she is so important that she could not be written out of any future films or replaced? Her conduct and that of the others have destroyed any future chance of them ever reprising their million dollar roles in the Harry Potter films. Not one of them have gone on to have tremendous success in their acting careers, so I guess they will all now fade into obscurity.
Protect JK Rowling at all costs! Those “cancel culture” people are just getting insane! And I’m talking from a perspective of an young gay boy growing up on her HP books teaching so many good things
Another woman was slaughtered on the streets of London yesterday by a MAN. another sister who's life has been cut short. KEEP MEN OUT OF OUR SPACES!!!!!!!
the ...phobic suffix is a nonsense anyway, it's not an irrational fear, and it's not directed against men who want to live as women, it's a perfectly reasonable disgust towards men who want to wander naked around female changing rooms, intrude on women's toilets and the rest of it. So rather than 'trans-phobic' it's 'perv-disgusted'.
And anyone else is equally "entitled" to criticise.. Or do you not actually believe in the "free speech" you claim to..? Silly question, of course you c***s don't, you want the "freedom" to say what you like and not be challenged or criticised.. I mean, you can call that what you like, but it's not an exchange of "free speech"..
Non one is 'hating on' transpeople because of what JK Rowling has said. It is a matter of protecting the female space in the world from the predations of the male. Be what you like, dress how you like but don't come gunning for half the world's population telling them they are 'womb carriers' or 'people with ovaries' rather than women in order to be inclusive of a tiny minority of 0.4% of the population.
The real kicker is that Watson calls herself a feminist while throwing the rights and safety of women and children under the bus for a pat on the head from mentally ill men in drag.
People also completely lie and twist around things she says and does. Like that book she wrote about a serial killer who dresses like a woman, they claimed that the killer was tr@ns and was her way of trying to vilify tr@ns people. Um, no, it was a killer disguising himself as a woman, that's it, there was no gender identify or anything of the sort involved. She SHOULD start suing people for slander.
How dare they have a reunion celebrating her work without her? Shane on them.. pretending this work is theirs! Imagine doing a LOTR reunion w/o Tolkien or Peter Jackson claiming success for the franchise.. they wouldn't dare do this to any other author..
The film star have made their money and now desert the person who have given them all a fortune! Usual limp wrist actors who are not quite the ticket??
What we have here is a case of mass neurosis and hysteria. I decided to go trans, male to female, about 50 years ago because I lost all my hair and I was in my teenage years. I just wanted to look more acceptable. I am nearly 70 now and I am transitioning back and although it's difficult I feel a sense of freedom from trying to become something that I could not ever be.
Not a fan of TalkTv,but I agree with JK entirely.A lot of bandwagon jumpers and virtue signallers accusing her of all sorts of transphobia.And shame on the spineless cast members who owe their careers to her work
I agree with you Julia. She made them all and they have shown her zero respect! Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful of these self righteous arseholes
@Macavity I am 100% up for free speech, even if it offends others who are not, such as trans activists who make countless threats and try to have someone cancelled. JK is standing up for Women's rights and I applaud her for that.
@Macavity what utter bullshit claptrap! Listen when trans rape women and they have, when trans want to go into women safe spaces at woman's expense, that’s wrong. When trans get into women sports and completely out power women, that’s wrong, when authorities put trans in women prisons only to be raped, that’s wrong. Women need protecting from trans because they are trans not women. Most keep their penis so how does that make them women? Are you mad Listen I don’t hate trans I have zero issues with them and wish them well, live your best life, is what I say, but when that is means stepping on women’s toes, I have an issue with that. You try to use trans phobia as your only way to silence the brave that stand up and say it’s wrong. We will NOT back down until the country sees the lunacy in this.
I have heard Alison in the press that certain actors from the films have said they won't work with her again and won't be involved in any further films if she is. I hope they understand the importance of the things she has said and how they impact on the future of women's identity and safety and also for those youngsters who wish to transition. It is a very complex topic, with huge ramifications, it is not as easy as just saying there must be 100% acceptance of what is thought to be the correct course of inclusivity to the detriment of the majority. We need to find another way forward.
I think there's a good chance Emma W. believes it, because she's gone down the feminist rabbit hole. The guys are likely protecting their careers and are too weak to stand up for their own views (or even to formulate them?).
Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe are shallow actors. They were cute 20 years ago when the HP film franchise started but they’ve never matured beyond being cardboard child actors. Worse, their cancelling out JK Rowling for speaking her mind and telling the truth shows they’re mercenaries. All the better for JKR. With friends like those, who needs enemies?
I think they are disgusting and ungrateful gits. I suggested in one video where Radcliffe and Watson were criticizing Rowlings, that they give all the millions they made from ROWLING’S books being made into movies, to the transgender community. I am with J.K. all the way. Transgender’s have my support but STOP trying to redefine my gender as a woman with silly names like birth person or cisgender. I. Am. A. Woman. Period. Do what you wish with yours but leave mine out of it. Today we are experiencing a terrible backward tragedy involving us as women, taking away human rights that have been fought over for years. In the U.S. the right to our own bodies, pro choice has been viciously taken from us leaving us at their mercy. We fight for the rights of women as only WE can.
At least Ralph Fiennes stayed loyal to J.K. Rowling. It's a bad sign when Voldemort comes across as a reasonable and fair minded human being. But of course, Fiennes is old enough to remember when people were actually civilised and could disagree without constantly trying to cancel each other.
@@tomnorton4277 given JK Rowling basically Saved her life Is be more suprise if she didn’t she has amazing respect unfortunately she got hate for still supporting and respecting her etc
If they believe that then let them. It’s stupidly divisive to suggest someone should think like you because of money. It’s probably the worst. Now, if the argument is that they actually agree with Rowling but are pressured to not say it publicly that would be….because of money too! It’s disgusting. Money is a great thing but to sacrifice basic moral beliefs for it should be worse news than it is currently.
They are protecting a career afforded them by JK Rowling! The irony is completely lost on these young, mid talented, upstarts. Feminists everywhere should rise up in defence of their hard earned achievements. They have found their voice; their rightful place in society! They should not allow these tiny, minority groups to gain ascendancy and deny them their rightful place in the world.
Totally stand with Rowling. Even just the free speech part is enough, aside from the fact that what she said was CORRECT - reflecting the actual physical reality of the situation, as opposed to just catering to whatever makes a person feel good about themselves.
What are your thoughts on Harry Potter stars distancing themselves from JK Rowling over the trans debate?
I dont understand why ppl are so invested in other ppl's opinion.why does JK even care about sm non entities calling her names? Why is everyone so scared of being canceled? N what is this cancelation anyway? The actors have sold their integrity for ambition..why even care what idiots think?

I think its awful. Science has devined male and female. That is what makes babies. It is so. Make yourself a name and live with it, but why should we?
To be perfectly honest, the actors are their own people, they can do or think whatever they want. What do you expect, them to give their first born child to J.K. just because they worked on films based on her books?! Give them a little bit of credit, that they've got the ability to think for themselves.
I think the most outrageous part is people calling for her to "gracefully" distance herself from the Harry Potter franchise. A bunch of nobodies who've achieved nothing saying that the woman who created a near-universally beloved fictional UNIVERSE should not be associated with it because they got their panties in a bunch over bullpoop ideas. It infuriates me.
dont go this hard on them! HP crew are all ageing actors who already nobody gives a f*ck about. let them have some attention by attacking JK.
Oh yeah, trust me, you're not the only one. To be honest, even if I don't like the creator, I would never try to erase their identity. The link between the creator and their art form will always be there.

Female gender biologically carries the XX Chromosome. Male gender carries the XY chromosome. If a person transitions from Male to Female or Female to Male, they will still carry the genetic code of the sex they were born as. There's no way around it. So trans Females and trans males are the sex they were when they were born no matter how much surgery they have had or how they look or feel.
Absolutely correct. This is my argument too. What about changing your race? What about changing your species? A cat will always be a cat, a dog will always be a dog. Sorry I don't want to offend anyone but we all need to get real. There are far more important issues going on in the world that need our attention.
LOL I hear Matt Walsh has a question for you... :)
@@samanthaostrowski6755 I look at it from the perspective of citizenry of a country. I was born Canadian. I can live for a time in another country, I can adopt the customs, speak the language, know everything there is to know about it - but I was not born there. I am still Canadian by birth.
So a woman with androgen insensitivity disorder isn't a woman because she has XY chromosomes? Sex (the biological category) is complicated (because biology is complicated) , and gender (the social category) is more than a little made up (because social categorisations pretty much are).
Jk Rowling is brave and I admire anyone who stands up against the worlds social media and projects their views that differ from the main stream narrative.
Shutting people down does not create understanding.
the world has gone nuts when a woman calls a woman a woman
they don't want understanding they want control
@@theend9494 not the world,just the woke
@ Leon: yes, the world too, for tolerating all those woke fools. 😉
She made them famous, now that they have fame, they are frightened, to be cancelled, thats where the problem lies,
They got no integrity
No, that was Chris Columbus.
@Macavity They don’t owe her their opinions. But they do owe her gratitude.
And these people's careers rely on the public so time will tell!
@Macavity lol without JK they just nobody
I’ve never really been into what celebrities say , but I’ve found myself in support of JK on this “Woman / Womb thing
I like the idea of JK Rowling suing then donating the monet to women’s groups
@Macavity Those individuals whom decide to slander her.
Jk Roling is a strong, brave and intelligent WOMAN. It's time for the majority to fight back.
It's absurd Emma Watson calls herself a feminist. Feminism centers women and girls, not men's and boys fantasies. Transphobia just means someone told the truth,
Emma ungrateful git if it was not for Rowling she would be sitting on a till in Tescos.
Be what you want but dont expect me to go along with your delusion
She says she stands with all women but there's no way in hell I want Emma Watson to stand for me. No-one elected her. She wouldn't think I'm a woman anyway because I don't have a penis, ffs!
Well said!
Emma Watson is a hypocrite.
People throwing around terms like transphobe or racist should be sued for defamation of character. Lawyers would be inundated with work.
Word to the wise, chum, it's only "defamation" if it's not true..
Laurence Fox and Katie Hopkins actually found out what "defamation" was.. To their considerable expense... Oh, how we all laughed..
@ Scott McMahon: made a bit of a change from folk laughing at you, right? 😘
How has such a tiny minority of the population gained so much power over society and do they really not see how it’s going to end, it’s the job of government to govern for the good of the majority with tolerance for the inevitable minorities that sit outside the normal bounds of society in general.
They *think* they have power, and for a time, it seemed that way. But believe me when I say that the tide will turn against these idiots, in fact it already has, with the ruling that transgender men cannot take part (cheat!) in women's swimming events. People like Emma Watson and her ilk will come to rue the day they did not support the woman who made them famous, one very good reason being, they're not that great at acting.
Because that tiny minority have been weaponised. it's not that minority, or any minority for that matter, which has the real power which makes things happen, it's the people who control the information flow, the money, and the public perception by using any given minority group as a means to instill fear in the wider majority.
You will see this when you pay attention to how different groups are treated in mainstream media coverage, which ones are promoted, which ones aren't, and even worse which ones are persecuted.
Wow gone again, the replies
Much like you then, Macavity?
I think jk Rowling is a absolutely lovely woman can’t believe certain people haven’t supported her.
She would have learnt one thing who friends are.
She said absolutely nothing controversial just stating facts the world needs to start waking up
Before it’s to late.
Funny how everyone is so concerned about trans right but want to take rights from everyone else. Politicians and the self appointed activists think they have the right to tell women not to use the word women.
Nobody says that people can't use the word "women" and "men" when it makes sense to do so.
It’s the insignificant minority attacking JK, and the well known people who have just jumped on the bandwagon virtue signalling so called do gooders.
Emma Watson and Daniel Harry Potter whatever his name is, have only known fame from JK’s fantastic creation of Harry Potter. It’s disgusting what these people are doing to JK, I fully support her.
Modern feminists like Emma Watson are unravelling everything women stood for.
exactly
I never commented on this kind of stuff before Bill C-16 was released in Canada. Now it's escalated and it's actually men in women's sports that are causing me to want to speak out. I never used to identify as a feminist - I just never thought there was anything we needed to fight for. Now I agree with you - everything women back then fought for is unravelling. And ironically - it's not because of Roe Vs Wade being overturned it's because our very identity is being ripped away.
@@harmonymiller1211 it's honestly sad to see. All those stereotypes that we fought against are now being used to define someone's 'gender'. Our safe spaces, fairness/equality are at risk. Even femininity is being seen as weakness so you now have some women trying to compete with or aim to be exactly like men. We all should have equal access but we're designed differently. Seeing people validate someone self hate and confirming they must be in the wrong body is heart breaking.... we already have children hating their own image, plastic surgeons are raking it in.... now this and their sexuality! 😔
It is so sad that she has been made the public enemy #1 of trans people by activists - evil personified. But when the the definition of "transphobia" is "anything that hurts trans people" you cannot have a discussion grounded in reality.
Just because you disagree with the trans ideology, that does not mean that you don't see trans people as real people who deserve the same basic respect as others. They are also subject to the same rules of criticism and their identity and victimization should not shield them from that.
Yes! Thank you.
The trans ideology is that they exist and that they are real people, so it's not actually possible to be against the "trans ideology" and also see them as real people.
Similar to the gay agenda and the black and brown agenda, the trans agenda is to exist.
@@hazelangus Let's look at this more closely. There are people who believe that it is somehow possible to be "born in the wrong body" (with no explanation as to how that happens) and other descriptions of "trans" (that they have a "female brain in a male body," again, without any valid explanation. There is no objective medical test that proves that anyone is "trans.") These people believe it is possible to be "trans." These people exist. But that doesn't mean that the condition they believe they have exists. No one is denying they exist. No one is denying that they are real people. We are just denying that the condition they claim they have exists. It only exists in their beliefs. It is a psychological condition, not a physical one.
Love Jk, she has a right to say what she thinks and feels, just like we all have. I am a man and she is a woman who has her own views and is allowed to think and speak.
With the recent changes in women's sport we are now seeing the fightback for women's rights (I.e. women from birth) from the silent majority and these talentless actors like Emma Watson and Tom Feltham will be brushed aside.
Spot on, as ever. This ridiculous era that we are in has to stop soon, where we deny obvious facts. It makes my blood boil hearing ridiculous terms like birth givers, chest feeding etc. We CAN have womens rights and trans rights too, they are not mutually exclusive. What can the trans community hope to achieve by introducing nonsense terms. I get all of my trans content from Blaire White's RUclips channel, Blaire is excellent and talks the kind of common sense that used to be common.
Trans rights calls for the erasure of women's rights.
Common sense is just another belief, whatever belief is considered common is a property of power not truth.
I am also a fan of Blaire White, you might want to watch The Offensive Tranny channel too. They are the voice of common sense - as in 2+2 = 4, as in an 40yo man is not an 8yo girl, dear Martyn Blackburn.
@@Leon-ty6bw Thanks, I will definitely have a look.
I would also like to add that autism affects women and men differently. So a trans-woman with autism will be affected differently from those born female. Yes, there is a spectrum, but even for women higher up on the spectrum, it still affects them differently to men on the higher end. Whether it's down to biology as well as society, it's much harder to detect autism in women as we have been conditioned to hide it, whereas "boys will be boys". I was 21 when I was diagnosed with autism and that's only because I was seeking therapy at the time and found a good therapist. To this day my older brother accuses me of not having autism because it looks nothing like the autism portrayed in men in films, and I even have friends who have no idea I have autism. Women and trans-women are different - why can't we be celebrating those differences rather than attacking anyone who claims there are differences? I'm 25 now and am ashamed of my generation for this hate bandwagon disguised as 'love', that we have created! Just because we're all different doesn't mean we're not equal! (I'll have to check out Blaire White, I've never heard of them before)
I think the argument that Radcliffe, Watson et al. should support J.K. Rowling because 'she made them famous' is misplaced. They were hired by a film production company as actors, and this does not require them to agree with or support anyone involved on political issues. The reason they should support her is that, with the possible exception of Emma Watson, they know that she is right. Unfortunately their careers depend on them pretending otherwise, which is the real problem.
very well said, agree with everything. If her opinions were truly bigoted, noone certainly should support her just because she hepled their carreer...But as was said in the video - they should know that she isnt a transphobic person....
Or are they really so hypnotized by all this woke nonsense?
@@suc125 I think they know very well that JKR is a decent person because of the working relationship they had with her. They may well would prefer to have a neutral 'don't know and don't care' position on JKR's alleged sins, but have to operate in a world where neutrality is not a option. The agnostic is just as bad as the unbeliever, and will be punished accordingly.
Actually Rowling had a very prominent say in the casting process. It was her call to cast Watson though she was a lot prettier than Hermione Granger of the book. And even Radcliffe got the go ahead despite not having the bottle-green eyes and unruly hair as the character is originally written. So yes, she did have a role in making them who they are today. And it is also true that neither have proved to be much post HP.
Fans of the book were willing to accept these deviations only because Rowling endorsed it. I also recall reading that Rowling had placed a condition that prominent roles are filled out by British actors.
What's truly appalling about their conduct is that for all the virtue signalling that they do, they do not know how to express dissent without disrespect.
It also works in reverse - she is under no obligation to agree with them either.
If they cannot support her, they should abstain from any comment at all. It is called loyalty and it is fast disappearing in the rush to rubbish everything decent and truthful. Shameful. Remember the old saying, ‘If you cannot say something nice about someone, say nothing at all’. Silence is golden and allows no interpretation.
Sorry, Julia. But Daniel Radcliffe is NOT a good actor. I have seen many of his post-Harry Potter films and his acting is appauling at how bad it is and how much of a mediocre actor he is.
Yeah, his acting was bland at best. He couldnt express his emotions well on his face. The only emotions he expressed is through his voice but it doesnt synchronise with his face expressions🤦🏻♀️
After what she did for these actors, I would know exactly where my loyalties lay.
A little bit of gratitude wouldn't go amiss from these spoilt actors that wouldn't even have a career had it not been for Jk Rowling.
You may have differences of opinion on certain topics but you do not stab someone in the back that made you the successful, wealthy, people they are today.
JK Rowling didn't say anything that wasn't truthful and biologically correct.
What did she do for them exactly?
Yeah, and they starred in the films that made her a shedload of money, or do you think she was just giving all her film cheques to charity...?
@@scottmcmahon86 if her books and films had not been so popular and earned so much acclaim, the actors, makeup artists etc would not have got more work on the back of the experience received. Who do you think gets the work, the actor from a film nobody has heard of or the one that was in a hit movie.
@@RJMiller73 wrote the scripts that made them famous.

Bless them, they are timid ,fragile , scared individuals that are so scared of being called out, or cancelled🇬🇧👎🏼
I quite agree with Julia. JK Rowling is not transphobic in what she’s said. These young upstart “actors” were made famous by JK Rowling and have all turned against her for saying nothing nasty at all! For being factual. For having an opinion other than theirs! Disgraceful!
absolutely Shameful those actors that played in harry potter not siding with j k Rowling. in an issue that was so obvious about trans.
they wouldn't of been this famous if it wasn't for j k Rowling . 🤔🤷🏼♀️
I completely agree. She made them famous. If they can't stand up for her, shows how selfish they are.
in some ways i agree but in other ways after the Brexit vote and the way she acted Fk her
well, they dont have to support her if they dont agree with her just because she helped them get famous....but they are either hypnotized by all this bulsh*t that pretends to be something good, or they just fear for their careers as was suggested...yes this is shame for them
It was Chris Columbus that made them famous. Without him, the movies would have still been made but he was the one who cast them, not Rowling.
@@RJMiller73 Umm... but they're using her story. She created the world of Harry Potter. They can find another director to direct the movies. JK is irreplacable because without her, Harry Potter would have never been created in the first place.😅
She's so amazing that UK Prime Minister David Cameron practically made May 2 a holiday called "Harry Potter Day". Which other author has managed to achieve in creating a legit holiday out of their creation? I kid you not.🤩
I stand with JK. She's absolutely right. Being respectful doesn't seem to get us anywhere so why bother?
She was not respectful, though. She didn't even try.
@@sadem1045 She was respectful, but maybe not in your twisted mind.
@LUKGraphics It worries me that you cannot distinguish what is respectful from what isn't.
@@sadem1045 no it doesn't. You are wrong
@LUKGraphics Just keep telling yourself that bs and maybe it will magically become true.
Jk Rowling telling the truth I totally agree with her so I'm transphobic how stupid these trolls are
JK has said nothing but the truth...every single word! They know they will be cancelled if they stand with her. They may have played her characters, but have shown they have no character of their own! Pathetic little creatures...Creature...he was one of the characters they would have played beautifully.
If trans people want to go through the gender change process, then that is their sovereign right to do so. However neither they, nor anyone else has the right to prevent me from calling myself a woman, a lady or a female...I am a female biological entity by birth and it is my sovereign right to remain so. My DNA dictates that I am a woman..,no matter what medical procedures I may or may not choose to go through. I can't help but wonder if all these celebrities and high profile people and organisations have actually consulted the trans community on these issues, or if they are blindly jumping on a socio-political propaganda train because it is deemed to be the current trend and will get them attention.
Nobody is stopping anyone calling themselves a woman (except the transphobes). Gender neutral language is used when referring to a large group of people whose gender identity is unknown. A person with a uterus could be a woman, or he could be a trans man, or they could be non-binary. The purpose of gender neutral language is for trans and nb people to not feel excluded.
Well done JK Rowling ! Woketards, "up Yours ".
Woketard...
Only a r***rd could think that one up...
That Emma Watson & Co have spoken out against Rowling, but haven't spoken out against the rape and murder threats that the trans activists have made to Rowling speaks VOLUMES. Promoting an ideology is obviously more important to them than the safety of females.
She’s told the truth, get a grip people
She didn't it in an artistic way ... creating words to describe " women who don't menstruate''...It's ok for Harry Potter but not trans...How come??
@@melanielafrance6779 Could you rephrase that? I honestly have no idea what you were stating.
Can the people giving death threats be named?
You know, drag them to court and turn a bright light in them.
You can bet the death threats game would stop soon enough.
I'm fed up with these people who can't see the truth! JK has only said what most of us think.
The very notion that people some how think that they are seahorses is insane
This has been TOO LATE IN COMING! Being aware of biological fact, and against extreme trans activists who are interfering in our sex based legislature, is NOT being transphobic! And many people in the trans community agree as well. I was FURIOUS with the Harry Potter stars worrying too much about their own popularity to even consider thinking clearly about this issue. Shame on them, and shame on the so-called feminists who have taken this lazy and ignorant stance .
@katja peeters Hi, I most certainly don’t forget that the majority of trans people are fine folks, I have 2 trans friends and I know this. But these politicial trans activists are actually changing legislation and wiping away womens rights. Not to mention spouting absolute crap about biology. GENDER does not equal BIOLOGICAL SEX! Simple as that.
Drives me crazy. IF she had started saying “trans people suck” and “these people shouldn’t have rights,” then yes, I would agree that she’s a transphobe and people would have the right to distance themselves from her professionally. But she said nothing of the sort! She actually said that in many cases, transitioning is the right path for people. She’s been so misquoted and thrown under every bus of public opinion, it makes me furious.
Anyone would prefer if she was saying "trans people suck". That's a lot less impactful than funding and publicly supporting laws that go deeply against the rights of trans people. You keep telling yourself she's not doing that, but the fact is she wrote an entire essay with colossal amounts of missinformation on the subject.

As a general rule, far too much weight is given to the opinions of actors and reality TV people. Being an actor doesn't qualify you for anything. Perhaps they should just be quiet and thank their lucky stars that they're paid so much for essentially doing what toddlers do ie living in a make believe world.
Im transgender and jk was not transphobic she just simply stated the facts…
Facts
Just like with the Witchmania that lasted hundreds of years once people become psychotic they see what they want see anywhere and everywhere.
It'll return have no fears about that.
Once the global cooling escalates and crops fail we'll be back to Medieval Germany Hexejagd, 17th century England under the Witchfilnder General and the Puritan colonies of North America.
The key point here is if you ask these finger pointers if they read what JK Rowling wrote, their answer is either silence or "No.". The funniest part, though is when Emma Watson said she would consider doing another Harry Potter film if JK Rowling isn't involved. She really isn't very bright, is she? Does she think she is so important that she could not be written out of any future films or replaced? Her conduct and that of the others have destroyed any future chance of them ever reprising their million dollar roles in the Harry Potter films. Not one of them have gone on to have tremendous success in their acting careers, so I guess they will all now fade into obscurity.
Protect JK Rowling at all costs! Those “cancel culture” people are just getting insane! And I’m talking from a perspective of an young gay boy growing up on her HP books teaching so many good things
Another woman was slaughtered on the streets of London yesterday by a MAN. another sister who's life has been cut short.
KEEP MEN OUT OF OUR SPACES!!!!!!!
if that man called himself a woman, he will be in a womans prison
Even if you are "transphobic" -- then "so what" !!! -- You are entitled be whatever you want.
the ...phobic suffix is a nonsense anyway, it's not an irrational fear, and it's not directed against men who want to live as women, it's a perfectly reasonable disgust towards men who want to wander naked around female changing rooms, intrude on women's toilets and the rest of it. So rather than 'trans-phobic' it's 'perv-disgusted'.
And anyone else is equally "entitled" to criticise.. Or do you not actually believe in the "free speech" you claim to..?
Silly question, of course you c***s don't, you want the "freedom" to say what you like and not be challenged or criticised..
I mean, you can call that what you like, but it's not an exchange of "free speech"..
Exactly.
I STAND WITH J.K. ROWLING!
ALWAYS AND FOREVER 🥰
They are cowards
Non one is 'hating on' transpeople because of what JK Rowling has said. It is a matter of protecting the female space in the world from the predations of the male. Be what you like, dress how you like but don't come gunning for half the world's population telling them they are 'womb carriers' or 'people with ovaries' rather than women in order to be inclusive of a tiny minority of 0.4% of the population.
Well said Wanda, and this ruddy “cis” nonsense annoys me too!
Well said Wanda and Joanne 👏 I fear for my three daughters growing up in this world 😭
Guarantee they wouldn't have done this to a male author
Just look at Pierce Morgan. He's been insulting transsexuals for years and they gave him his own talk show.
The Trans lobby, whatever that is, are off the rails and completely bonkers.
JK did nothing wrong and it is disgusting that everyone (aside from Ralph Fiennes) abandoned her for the virtue points, I stand with JK
Please keep up the love and respect for JK. Rowling, who as you say has only spoken sense...without any hatred involved.
Good on her, the so called actors who have turned against the woman who made them. I am a great believer in what goes round comes around . Go JK

Carry on Julia! Maya, you are my hero. Yes, time to start actively fighting back.
Biological sex is real…that’s all she said.
The real kicker is that Watson calls herself a feminist while throwing the rights and safety of women and children under the bus for a pat on the head from mentally ill men in drag.
People also completely lie and twist around things she says and does. Like that book she wrote about a serial killer who dresses like a woman, they claimed that the killer was tr@ns and was her way of trying to vilify tr@ns people. Um, no, it was a killer disguising himself as a woman, that's it, there was no gender identify or anything of the sort involved. She SHOULD start suing people for slander.
The recent shootings in Chicago were perpetrated by a man dressed as a woman, not trans, just insane.
The Harry Potter cast should be ashamed of themselves, around 95% of the cast would be working in Tesco if not for her writing Harry Potter
Why should they if they don't agree with her? No one is obliged to agree with everything their boss says or thinks...

"Trying to protect their careers" .... What career? What has Emma Watson done out of Harry Potter? 1 Disney movie and a series of box office BOMBs.
Just own it. Yes I’m transphobic. I am gender critical / trans exclusionary.
The toxic trans and their supporters should own that they're misogynists.
How dare they have a reunion celebrating her work without her? Shane on them.. pretending this work is theirs! Imagine doing a LOTR reunion w/o Tolkien or Peter Jackson claiming success for the franchise.. they wouldn't dare do this to any other author..

The film star have made their money and now desert the person who have given them all a fortune! Usual limp wrist actors who are not quite the ticket??
What we have here is a case of mass neurosis and hysteria. I decided to go trans, male to female, about 50 years ago because I lost all my hair and I was in my teenage years. I just wanted to look more acceptable. I am nearly 70 now and I am transitioning back and although it's difficult I feel a sense of freedom from trying to become something that I could not ever be.

@Macavity I am 100% up for free speech, even if it offends others who are not, such as trans activists who make countless threats and try to have someone cancelled. JK is standing up for Women's rights and I applaud her for that.
@Macavity what utter bullshit claptrap! Listen when trans rape women and they have, when trans want to go into women safe spaces at woman's expense, that’s wrong. When trans get into women sports and completely out power women, that’s wrong, when authorities put trans in women prisons only to be raped, that’s wrong. Women need protecting from trans because they are trans not women. Most keep their penis so how does that make them women? Are you mad
Listen I don’t hate trans I have zero issues with them and wish them well, live your best life, is what I say, but when that is means stepping on women’s toes, I have an issue with that.

We will NOT back down until the country sees the lunacy in this.
Good on you Julia. You make my mornings. You speak for me and everyone I know
I have heard Alison in the press that certain actors from the films have said they won't work with her again and won't be involved in any further films if she is. I hope they understand the importance of the things she has said and how they impact on the future of women's identity and safety and also for those youngsters who wish to transition. It is a very complex topic, with huge ramifications, it is not as easy as just saying there must be 100% acceptance of what is thought to be the correct course of inclusivity to the detriment of the majority. We need to find another way forward.
Those actors owe her NOTHING. You don’t compromise your own integrity to support someone on the strength you owe them for something.
But you will apparently do it to appease a bunch of woman-hating bullies.
Why the hell should they If they don't feel the same way?
I think there's a good chance Emma W. believes it, because she's gone down the feminist rabbit hole. The guys are likely protecting their careers and are too weak to stand up for their own views (or even to formulate them?).
Emma Watson and her cohorts will fade into insignificance soon enough,but JK Rowling will take pride of place in history.
Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe are shallow actors. They were cute 20 years ago when the HP film franchise started but they’ve never matured beyond being cardboard child actors. Worse, their cancelling out JK Rowling for speaking her mind and telling the truth shows they’re mercenaries. All the better for JKR. With friends like those, who needs enemies?
Yet Emma Watson is silent with all the issues about Ezra Miller 🤢
@@regppMD Yes you’re right. Ezra Miller claims to be trans and has abused young girls!
I think they are disgusting and ungrateful gits. I suggested in one video where Radcliffe and Watson were criticizing Rowlings, that they give all the millions they made from ROWLING’S books being made into movies, to the transgender community.
I am with J.K. all the way. Transgender’s have my support but STOP trying to redefine my gender as a woman with silly names like birth person or cisgender. I. Am. A. Woman. Period. Do what you wish with yours but leave mine out of it. Today we are experiencing a terrible backward tragedy involving us as women, taking away human rights that have been fought over for years. In the U.S. the right to our own bodies, pro choice has been viciously taken from us leaving us at their mercy. We fight for the rights of women as only WE can.
At least Ralph Fiennes stayed loyal to J.K. Rowling. It's a bad sign when Voldemort comes across as a reasonable and fair minded human being. But of course, Fiennes is old enough to remember when people were actually civilised and could disagree without constantly trying to cancel each other.

Totally stand with Rowling. Even just the free speech part is enough, aside from the fact that what she said was CORRECT - reflecting the actual physical reality of the situation, as opposed to just catering to whatever makes a person feel good about themselves.
