\n Two big Harry Potter fan sites, unhapp<\/a>y over author J.K. Rowling\u2019s views on transgender people, said today they will no longer provide links to her personal website, use photos of her, or write about her outside of her role in creating the fantasy world they love.<\/p>\n

The sites, Leaky Caldron and Mugglenet, said in a joint statement that Rowling\u2019s personal views are at odds with the attitudes reflected in her best-selling books. The sites combined have more than one million Facebook<\/a> fans.<\/p>\n

Rowling was accused in the joint statement of putting forth \u201charmful and disproven beliefs about what it means to be a transgender person.\u201d Her views on \u201cmarginalized people [are] out of step with the message of acceptance and empowerment we find in her books and celebrated by the Harry Potter community\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rowling issued a personal essay last month in an attempt to explain her beliefs on transgender rights. She asserted that certain demands by transgender activists were dangerous to women. The essay was widely criticized by\u00a0LGBTQ advocacy groups, who termed it transphobic.<\/p>\n

The abandonment by the fan sites follows that by the stars of the Harry Potter films, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Alexander Lloyd Grint, and Eddie Redmayne. Also, four authors quit Rowling\u2019s literary agency after the company declined to issue a public statement supporting transgender rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur stance is firm: transgender women are women,\u201d said the statement by the fan sites. \u201cTransgender men are men. Non-binary people are non-binary. Intersex people exist and should not be forced to live in the binary. We stand with Harry Potter fans in these communities. While we don\u2019t condone the mistreatment [Rowling] has received for airing her opinions about transgender people, we must reject her beliefs.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
