Sex and the City actor Cynthia Nixon has weighed in on the controversy surrounding author JK Rowling, saying she doesn’t understand Rowling’s stance.
Nixon told the Independent Rowling’s beliefs were ‘baffling’ and contradicted the theme in the Harry Potter series of ‘championing people who are different’.
She continued Rowling’s denial of trans existence was ‘really painful’ for her 23-year-old trans son Samuel, as ‘much of his childhood was tied up with Harry Potter’.Nixon recently told Attitude Magazine she identifies as ‘queer’, as opposed to lesbian or bisexual.
