I don't know why, but there's a whole generation of people on Twitter hanging around waiting to be shocked by something, ”he replied to

During the summer, JK Rowling drew the wrath of the LGBTQ + community and trans people in particular, for having notably compared the change of gender identity to "a new version of conversion therapy" for gay people. .

The author also believes that transsexual women could represent a danger for women born to women, as is the suppression of the notion of sex (as opposed to gender).

For the interpreter of Hagrid, Internet users should ignore.

“They wouldn't have won the war, these people.

Saying that makes me sound like a cranky old man, but I just feel like telling them, 'Get over it. Lift your head and move on,' ”added the 70-year-old actor.

The controversy will inevitably continue this fall.

JK Rowling is releasing a new book,

- under his pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

A book featuring a serial killer who dresses as a man as a woman.

Since the publication of this book on Monday, the hashtag #RIPJKRowling has appeared on social networks.
