"Harry Potter" actor Paapa Essiedu supports trans people and says "I don't want to talk about [J.K. Rowling] at all." "I believe, in my bones, that trans people, queer people, people of all creeds and color have got the right to be treated with respect and dignity and safety at all times— whether they’re in the workplace, whether they’re at home or in the street, whatever. That’s the creed by which I live." (via Vanity Fair) Before his casting, Essiedu signed an open letter condemning the U.K. Supreme Court for ruling that transgender men and women are not legally considered men and women. Rowling responded at the time by tweeting: “I don’t have the power to sack an actor from the series and I wouldn’t exercise it if I did. I don’t believe in taking away people’s jobs or livelihoods because they hold legally protected beliefs that differ from mine.” variety.com/2026/film/news/p…
