“Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistible,” Rowling wrote in response to the X thread, complete with laughing emojis.
“Three guesses? The same people who made millions off your work, then turned on you when it was ‘cool,’” a fan of the writer replied.
In 2020, the three actors publicly distanced themselves from Rowling after the writer made statements that reflected her views as a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF), a branch of feminism that opposes gender ideology.

The movement, also known as gender-critical, believes that s*x is biological, immutable, and binary and thus opposes the existence of concepts such as gender identity, self-identification, and transgenderism.
Moreover, TERFs are vehemently opposed to measures taken by those who support the trans movement, such as gender-neutral bathrooms and the participation of trans-athletes in women’s sports, as they argue these measures infringe on women’s rights.

Rowling’s detractors believe her views to be transphobic, with Radcliffe being the first of the trio to speak out against her views, stating, “Transgender women are women,” in a message published by The Trevor Project, a non-profit offering mental health support for members of the LGBTQ+ community.
