Well done JK, you stand for all right minded people and we stand with you.

[schrodingerscat]

Who could have predicted 10 years ago that calling a woman, a woman and a man, a man would be considered controversial. Is it just me or do others see society as a whole circling the drain.

[minhearg]

Defining women as adult biological females is not an opinion; it is verifiable scientific fact. If anyone wIshes to make a contrary claim, they should write up their arguments and submit them to the relevant body for peer review.

[tigertony]

She shouldn't have to be defended for stating facts and saying what the vast majority think.

[raychambers]

Other actors from the franchise have distanced from her, but not the money they earned from .

[barbarasherman]

I ❤️ JK Rowling! Good for him speaking up. I have zero respect for those actors since their acceptance of identity sexism, especially Emily Watson. Women are being relentlessly gaslighted by aggressive males now, the misogyny is scary.

[andrewbayram]

What did she say that was so
NOTHING.

[clovermark]

I like they are calling what JKRowling is beliefs! How ironic. She is just telling the truth. A woman is an adult human female. Well done Ralph Fiennes.

[manofbeard]

This is how men of honour conduct themselves. Defending someone for simply having an opinion.

[aprilfox]

All JK did was speak facts and truth. The whole ‘trans’ thing, is not based on fact or truth. Honesty is about being honest. Brilliant work JK and Maya and Helen and Kellie-Jay. Well said.

[cognitivebadweather]

All these actors that stay silent are cowards.

[redrag]

Its not a belief its a FACT ! I stand by JK Rowling !

[Bungle-UK]

Finally, a grown up showing the kids how to behave

[benwakefield]

I fully support JK and Ralph but there must be a part of her thinking "great, Voldermort's defending me" 😅

[bellesblues]

I ❤️J K Rowling!
Well said Ralph Fiennes.

[TrevsTravelsByNarrowboat]

JK. I would stand behind you. I don't care what anyone wants to call themselves but there are only 2 biological sexes.

[abbiegsarah]

She’s just speaking facts and they shouldn’t be offended for something scientifically correct.

[TheLincolnrailsplitt]

Well done Mr Fiennes. It is heartening to see there are still some prominent people in the creative arts industry with courage.

[rad]

You know the people abusing JK Rowling have fucked up when even Voldemort thinks they're too evil.

[Jenny-nzfb]

None of the actors have said anything about Ezra Miller’s disgusting behaviour!
