Emma Watson has issued a statement expressing her support for the transgender community, amid controversy over Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s stance.
Watson is the latest Harry Potter star to express support for trans people in the wake of Rowling’s comments, along with Daniel Radcliffe, Eddie Redmayne and Evanna Lynch.
She continued: “I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the world see you, respect you and love you for who you are.”
“Never have I seen women denigrated and dehumanised to the extent they are now,” she wrote.
