Rupert Grint admitted that he felt the need to enroll in transgender after the scandalous statement of Joan Rowling.
Recall, in the summer of last year, the author Harry Potter spoke in favor of equating transgender women to biological women, as it could threaten the safety of the latter, if the first will receive access to women's toilets, locker rooms and so on. According to Joan, some men can take advantage of this for mercenary purposes.
After these words, transfobia accusations fell on Rowling, and many Harry Potter actors spoke in support of Transgender. Among them was Rupert Grint.
In a recent interview with Esquire Rupert noted that it still feels great respect for Joan. "I am very grateful for everything she did. It is immensely talented, and her work is simply ingenious. But yes, you can experience a huge respect for someone and at the same time be disagreeable with him in some issues, "said Grint.
"Sometimes silent position says more than any statement. But I decided that I should express it, it was important. Although I, of course, will not be authority in this matter. I spoke out of the kindness of the soulful to express respect for this group of people. I think this is a significant group, and it is worth up for it, "the actor said.
In support of Transgender Support, Grint said last year: "I firmly stand on the side of the trans community. Trans-women are women. Trans men are men. Everyone has the right to live in love and without condemnation. " Rupert's position was divided by Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.
Many fans and supporters Rowling considered the unfair criticism of the actors to the writer, because thanks to her Grint, Radcliffe and Uzoston became rich and famous.
