Daniel Radcliffe is being praised across social media for standing up against J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans tweets. The “Harry Potter” author generated controversy on June 6 after posting a series of comments to Twitter in which she argued that discussing gender identity negates biological sex. “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction,” the author wrote. “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased.

Rowling and myself.
