Nicola Coughlan, known for her role in "Bridgerton," publicly condemned J.K. Rowling following the author's supportive response to a UK Supreme Court ruling defining 'woman' biologically, thereby excluding transgender women. Coughlan expressed her disapproval on social media, stating she would not participate in the upcoming "Harry Potter" series. Her remarks highlighted the perceived harm of Rowling's actions, which some view as celebrating the marginalization of trans individuals. Meanwhile, Rowling defended the ruling as a protective measure for women, sparking significant discourse on gender identity and rights in the UK.
Coughlan expressed her distaste for Rowling's views, stating, "Keep your new Harry Potter lads," and noted she wouldn't participate in the new series due to Rowling's celebration of the ruling.
Coughlan criticized Rowling's behavior, which she described as celebrating the erasure of trans women, calling the public celebration of the court ruling "extra evil" even for her.
Rowling, on the other hand, praised certain women and emphasized the court's decision as protective of women's rights, touting her support for For Women Scotland.
The UK Supreme Court's ruling clarified that the terms 'woman' and 'sex' relate to biological definitions, igniting public controversy and criticism from various groups.
