Fantastic Beasts star Katherine Waterston says trans rights message felt ‘important to communicate’ after JK Rowling controversy

Katherine Waterston, one of the leads of the Fantastic Beasts franchise, has addressed her decision to speak out in support of trans rights.
The actor, who plays the witch Tina Goldstein in the Harry Potter spin-off series, shared a post on Instagram the day after JK Rowling returned a prestigious human rights award.
Rowling gave back the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award last August, after the foundation’s president denounced the author’s anti-trans comments. Rowling had published a blog listing “five reasons for being worried about the new trans activism”.
Waterston then shared a Guardian article to her Instagram story with the headline: “Trans women pose no threat to cis women, but we pose a threat to them if we make them outcasts.”
Various parts were circled and underlined in red, including the sentence: “Sorry, you can’t be a feminist if you’re not for everyone’s human rights, notably other women’s human rights.”
Speaking to The Independent in a new interview, Waterston reflected on the post, saying: “Because I was associated with Fantastic Beasts, it felt important to communicate my position.
“One wondered if they might be grouped in with other people’s views by association.”
Waterston’s latest film, The World to Come, is in UK cinemas now.

Because I made a shit load of money riding on the coattails of her genius, it felt important to try and boost my profile and make myself relevant.

I trust all these people throwing JK under the bus are donating their fee to Mermaids.

Honestly, JK is such a better person than me. I'd be pruning my franchise of these people.

Waterston’s latest film, The World to Come, is in UK cinemas now.

Nothing to do with this, I'm sure

Not another one... have these people got blinkers on or something? Looking for points? What the actual.....
These folk have made their cash from JKR. You wouldn't think so...
And stop with the bloody CIS ffs

I don't know how JKR copes with this- not sure i could

Does she say anywhere what human rights they're apparently lacking?

Trans women pose no threat to cis women

I think the vulnerable women locked up in prison, currently being terrorised by intact transwomen convicted of sexual offenses would strongly disagree with that, mate If that doesn't horrify you, then it is you that should keep feminism out of your mouth...

These non-trans “allies” are so bloody tiresome, aren’t they?

Nothing to do with this, I'm sure

Quite.

Like the one who was splashed all over the press in a breast binder and with optional new pronouns a couple of weeks ago, who just happened to have a play opening that weekend and an award nomination she was seeking the week after.

it’s Naomi Campbell supporting PETA all over again.

How unoriginal.

I'm just going to buy JKR's books from now on, I am so sick of these people deliberately misinterpreting her, I cannot bear to watch any HP films and now the Fantastic Beasts franchise has gone the same way....wish she would write out the parts that involve those who have stabbed her in the back, but, she is better than me....

“Sorry, you can’t be a feminist if you’re not for everyone’s human rights, notably other women’s human rights.”

I don't think she understands what feminism is, or JRKs position. So tiresome that people keep coming out with such unfounded nonsense

Re-reading the article, it seems she refers to an Instagram post from last August, so is the whole thing JKR-bashing to gain attention for her new release. What a nasty cheap underhand trick.

One would hope that in a couple of years they look back in horror at what they have written.

Trans women pose no threat to cis women, but we pose a threat to them if we make them outcasts

Yes, just like Rachel Dolezal was so cruelly made an outcast because she wasn’t black. 🙄 Just like I was made an outcast when I wasn’t allowed to enter and win the Under 8s race at my son’s Sports Day this year. God forbid anyone should be in a separate category from Women! Women and the category Women exist for others’ benefit. How very dare we even start to think about ourselves or define ourselves. Despicable!

And Feminism - evil, evil women suggesting it’s in any way about women. Quite clearly Feminism is for everyone else. All Lives Matter, right?

Idiot woman. She’ll be laughed at when this all comes crashing down. Meanwhile, her new film is crap. She’s the worse thing in it. Save your pennies.

When the strike books come out as a series (who knows, I'm speculating!), the actors' contracts should include a no backstabbing clause.

I have so much contempt for these people.

Another woke dickhead. No surprises.

Hope she's honourably refusing to do the next film and take the filthy Rowling lucre.

I checked this wasn't an old because I thought the giving back of the award was last year. That reminds me, didn't someone tweet or something that proof would be forthcoming about something*

*or something

Didn’t the strike lead actor come out in support of JK?

Strike books are already out as a series - first 5 already filmed & shown.

Neither Tom Burke or holiday Grainger threw JKR under the bus

Privileged American/English actress... Doesn't get the issue or wilfully ignores it...

I was disappointed to learn she's actually over 40! I thought what she said sounded like a person in their 20's. Maybe she identifies as a person in their twenties.

I am still sore about Emma Watson, such a bright young woman taken in by all the bell ringing and virtue signalling. JKR is a formidable feminist and stands as an inspiration in her defence of women's rights.

Aahhh, interesting @Theeyeballsinthesky

I find many of the responses on this thread genuinely abhorrent.

You are perfectly entitled to disagree with KW’s opinion. However, she has every right to hold and voice that opinion. The constant threads trying to silence people are ignorant at best and actively malevolent at worst.
