I have been asked this a few times recently, more so today after the ridiculous articles about the new Fantastic Beasts film.

So here it is. What did JK Rowling really say about trans poeple that led to her being branded a transphobe, a TERF and all the other shouty things.

Mads Mikkelsen, who’s in the new Fantastic Beasts film, on JKR’s “controversy”:

“People treat it a little flippantly, like, ‘Isn’t that a disgrace?’ And every time you ask somebody, you can’t really figure out what she said. But if the reaction is that crazy, we have to be very careful that we know what we’re talking about.” He admits he hasn’t read her essay and isn’t familiar with her views.
“I have a habit of not commenting on things that I don’t know anything about, and I actually think that would suit the entire world.”

I think that’s fair. And a good get-out!

Ah, Mads. Huge sigh of relief over here!
