David Tennant has openly criticized J.K. Rowling for her anti-trans behavior in a recent interview, responding to earlier comments made at the British LGBT Awards. Tennant called out Kemi Badenoch for her views on barring trans women from certain spaces. In a new interview series, he detailed how the discriminatory policies of past governments remind him of today's treatment of the trans community, emphasizing that they are similarly unjust. Tennantâs comments underline the importance of allyship and supporting marginalized groups amidst growing political hostility against them.
We shouldn't live in a world where that is worth remarking on. However, until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn't exist anymore - I don't wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up.
When I was a teenager, there was this thing that Mrs Thatcher's government introduced called Section 28, which was about stopping the promotion of homosexuality in school, which was a weird umbrella term.
I think the way the trans community is being demonised and othered is exactly the same. It's become this kind of political football.
My thoughts and prayers are with David Tennant at this very difficult time.
