The original cast for the Harry Potter series, which includes actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, have all made clear that they oppose Rowling’s views on trans people.
The writer has now announced plans to create a private foundation through which she says “offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.” She has plans to direct the funds she makes through royalties and beyond to her cause.
When a decision that helped curb rights for trans people in the United Kingdom had been reached, Rowling posted an image of herself with a celebratory drink and cigar in her hand, with a caption that read, “I love it when a plan comes together.”
She has also set up a fund for women to get legal funding when fighting for their sex-based rights in the workplace.
