Where once she felt that the Harry Potter scribe’s public criticizing of transgender sociopolitical activism was unwarranted and unhelpful, actress Evanna Lynch has come to appreciate J.K. Rowling’s dedication to protecting the rights of biological women.
Lynch, who portrayed the whimsical Luna Lovegood in Warner Bros.’ live-action film adaptations, first waded into the ongoing discourse against Rowling in 2020 following the author’s criticism of the term ‘people who menstruate’.
Retweeting an article from the “global development agenda”-centric news outlet Devex headlined “Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate“, Rowling sarcastically questioned, “I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”
“I do also think it’s important that JK Rowling has been amplifying the voices of detransitioners,” the actress then made sure to note. “I had this impulse to go, ‘Let’s all just stop talking about it’, and I think probably I’m a bit braver now about having uncomfortable conversations.”
Bringing their conversation to a close, Lynch recalled how she was surprised to see just how fervent and widespread the various backlashes against Rowling have been, “especially when she wrote her essay [opening up about her history as a domestic violence survivor].”
