The Left does all it can to attack J.K. Rowling. How dare a successful author have views counter to the Far-Left and their extreme Trans issue.
A play scrutinizing J.K. Rowling’s views on gender is facing casting challenges, particularly in filling its female roles. Creative producer Barry Church-Woods revealed to The Telegraph that despite the play offering industry-standard compensation and having an excellent script, they have encountered significant resistance, especially from actresses.
Originally titled “TERF [trans exclusionary radical feminist] C—,” the play has since been renamed to “TERF.” It centers around a fictional narrative where Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Daniel Radcliffe—famous for their roles in the “Harry Potter” films—stage an intervention for Rowling. The story explores the tensions surrounding Rowling’s public statements on transgender issues, which have stirred considerable controversy.
They can find male actors, no problem though. Because transgenderism is misogyny in a fetish costume.

Despite the play’s provocative subject, it has successfully cast the male roles of Grint and Radcliffe. However, it has notably struggled to attract actresses, with 90 having declined roles so far. This casting difficulty may stem from potential ideological disagreements with the play’s content or concerns about backlash, given the sensitive nature of the discussions around Rowling’s comments.
Rowling’s stance became widely known in 2020 after she criticized an article for using the phrase “people who menstruate” instead of “women,” sparking a significant debate on social media. Her views have drawn criticism from many, including stars of the “Harry Potter” series. Emma Watson, for instance, expressed her support for the transgender community shortly after Rowling’s comments went viral. In a post, she affirmed, “Trans people are who they say they are,” and extended her love and respect to her trans followers.

Daniel Radcliffe also voiced his support for the transgender community in an essay for The Trevor Project, apologizing for any pain caused by Rowling’s remarks. Similarly, Rupert Grint publicly declared his solidarity with the trans community, emphasizing that “Trans women are women. Trans men are men.”
The play’s script was penned by Joshua Kaplan, a queer-identifying Hollywood scriptwriter, who aims to delve into the complexities of Rowling’s public persona and the implications of her opinions within the context of the intervention staged by her fictionalized former co-stars.
We are confident that the Left will continue their assault on Ms. Rowling, and all who dare state a simple scientific fact: that there are only two sexes. Gender is an illusion created by those who would do us all harm, and are as thousands of children are being sexually abused and mutilated thanks to this warped ideology.
