Rowling\u2018s transphobic statements earlier this year, <em>Fantastic Beasts<\/em> actor Eddie Redmayne now says the backlash against the author has been \u201cabsolutely disgusting.\u201d This comment is controversial in itself, given the enormous power imbalance between Rowling (a billionaire with 14 million <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> followers) and the people who may be harmed by her public opposition of trans rights. In the U.K., trans people (and cis allies who support trans rights) are seldom offered a platform by mainstream media outlets, while transphobic commentators are regularly published in major <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>papers.<\/p>\n<p>Redmayne\u2019s new comments <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared in a<em> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-8770819\/BAZ-BAMIGBOYE-Eddie-Redmayne-ready-stand-rights-blistering-courtroom-drama.html\">Daily Mail<\/a><\/em> interview promoting the upcoming movie <em>The Trial of the Chicago 7.<\/em> He said he reached out privately to Rowling to express sympathy due to the \u201cabsolutely disgusting\u201d \u201cvitriol\u201d she was receiving on social media. He also added, \u201cSimilarly, there continues to be a hideous torrent of abuse towards trans people online and out in the world that is devastating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These brief quotes went viral on Twitter after they were reposted by <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lgbtqnation.com\/2020\/09\/eddie-redmayne-stands-j-k-rowling-internet-vitriol\/\">LGBTQ Nation<\/a>, <\/em>prompting people to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kat_blaque\/status\/1310683032051879936\">point out<\/a> that Redmayne profited from playing a trans woman in <em>The Danish Girl<\/em>. This casting choice was recently used as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jackremmington\/status\/1310856092243681280\">a key example<\/a> of transphobic filmmaking in the Netflix documentary <em>Disclosure: Trans Lives On Screen<\/em>, highlighting the idea that when cis men play trans women, it perpetuates the belief that trans women and men are interchangeable. In the documentary, writer\/actress Jen Richards characterizes this as a direct cause of transphobic violence.<\/p>\n<p>Redmayne\u2019s interview also inspired some people to take a look at the timeline of his statements on this topic, pointing out that his support for Rowling directly overlaps with the filming of a new <em>Fantastic Beasts<\/em> movie. Rowling is essentially his boss (or one of them) as long as he continues to star in the franchise.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">what a mysterious change of heart eddie redmayne has had! very strange indeed <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IkI45ZTLDS\">pic.twitter.com\/IkI45ZTLDS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 John DiLillo (@dilillicious) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dilillicious\/status\/1310681199602524160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 28, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>His comments portray the issue as a problem with social media toxicity across the board, expressing sympathy for trans people <em>and<\/em> for J.K. Rowling. But the two sides of this conflict are not on equal footing.<\/p>\n<p>Rowling definitely has received some ugly comments on social media, but she\u2019s also a billionaire who is protected by celebrity connections and a team of lawyers. By sharing elements of transphobic propaganda online, Rowling made herself a figurehead for the concept of transphobia in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>.

And by using words like \u201cvitriol\u201d to describe Rowling\u2019s experience\u2014especially in a right-wing tabloid like the <em>Daily Mail<\/em>\u2014Redmayne plays into the transphobic talking point that cisgender women are somehow victimized by trans people campaigning for basic human rights.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Todays_top_stories\"><\/span>Today\u2019s top stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>BLM protesters confront Louisville business owner about Breonna Taylor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mom interrupts Google Meets class after teacher\u2019s remarks about George Floyd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Woman twerking for Salt Bae\u200b gets berated by abusive \u2018boyfriend\u2019 in viral TikTok<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailydot.us18.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=557794e049a42cb8dcdf4eacc&amp;id=14207741b3\">Sign up<\/a>\u00a0to receive the best of the internet straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\">\n<p>                                                                                                <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Fantastic_Beasts_and_Where_to_Find_Them_Japan_Premiere_Red_Carpet-_Eddie_Redmayne_(35532268211).jpg\">Dick Thomas Johnson\/Wikimedia<\/a><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                            <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\">(CC-BY)<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/unclick\/eddie-redmayne-jk-rowling-support-transphobia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Eddie Redmayne shows support for J.K.
