Michaela Jaé Rodriguez Responds To J.K. Rowling’s Controversial Comments About Trans Community: ‘I Would Love To Have A Conversation With Her’
Michaela Jaé Rodriguez doesn’t take too much notice of J.K. Rowling’s controversial comments about the transgender community.
Rodriguez — who became the first trans star to win a Golden Globe for “Pose” last year — told Variety when asked about her reaction to Rowling’s suggestion that trans women should not be considered women: “Some of the stuff that she says really doesn’t faze me so much.
I’m not here for it. I will always remain a trans woman. “I will always call myself a trans woman. I will always refer to other biological women as cis women, in a non-derogatory way.
But I’m a strong girl. I’m a strong woman. I was raised by a strong Black woman, which J.K. Rowling was not. I would love to have a conversation with her.” READ MORE: J.K.
