Cynthia Nixon Calls JK Rowling's Anti-Trans Tweets 'Baffling'
Cynthia Nixon is opening up about JK Rowling‘s controversial comments about the transgender community in a recent interview.
The 54-year-old actor spoke to The Independent, revealing that her trans son was very hurt by the author’s comments.
“It was really painful for him because so much of his childhood was tied up with Harry Potter,” she shared, speaking of her now 23-year-old son, Seph.
Cynthia continued, “We’re a Harry Potter family. The books seem to be about championing people who are different, so for her to select this one group of people who are obviously different and sort of deny their existence, it’s just…it’s really baffling.”
“I know she feels like she’s standing up for feminism but I don’t get it.”
JK made headlines over the summer months for her comments about the trans community, first voicing her frustrations over an article which said that “gender non-binary persons menstruate.”
