Sean Biggerstaff, the Scottish actor known for his role as Oliver Wood in the Harry Potter series, has defended his pro-trans views amidst backlash following a UK Supreme Court ruling. Biggerstaff faced online harassment after responding to Graham Lineham, a gender-critical writer, who critiqued fellow Harry Potter actors for their support of the trans community. In his response, Biggerstaff emphasized that actors like Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint are living successful lives, countering Lineham's negativity. He challenged the idea that actors owe loyalty to an author based on past collaborations, advocating for personal growth over allegiance.
You don't have to wonder, you know what they're doing - leading happy and successful lives, having not driven their families away with their hateful obsessions.
Is there any other area of work/life where people regularly suggest that you owe eternal fealty to any former colleague whose success you have benefited from, regardless of subsequent events?
