'The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it's appalling' (via toofab)
"J.K. Rowling has written these great books about empowerment, about young children finding themselves as human beings," said Fiennes, who starred as Lord Voldemort in the"Harry Potter" film franchise."It's about how you become a better, stronger, more morally centered human being. The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it's appalling."
"I mean, I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women,” he added."But it's not some obscene, über-right-wing fascist. It's just a woman saying, 'I'm a woman and I feel I'm a woman and I want to be able to say that I'm a woman.' And I understand where she's coming from. Even though I'm not a woman."
In more recent years, Rowling has become a problematic figure within the very fandom she created for her continuing comments about transgender women, which have led some to label her a TERF . The author has denied she's transphobic, but repeatedly doubles down on her assertions equating transgender women to potential predators of women and bashing inclusive phrases like"people who menstruate" as eroding women"as a political and biological class."
