mirror.co.ukRupert Grint has defended his decision to speak out publicly against JK Rowling 's views on the transgender community. Last summer, the Harry Potter author had her back against the wall when she took issue with an online article about "people who menstruate".
She was instantly accused of being transphobic after she tweeted: "I'm sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out.
Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?" At the time, the Ron Weasley actor joined the likes of Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson by choosing to release his own statement on the furore.
And now Rupert has defended his stance on slamming the author's views, saying he still has "huge respect" for the author despite disagreeing with her opinions.
