"Trans rights activists protested a production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at London's Palace Theatre last Sunday, writing a series of chalk messages urging fans to avoid seeing the show. Photos of the sidewalk near the theater show messages like, "Harry Potter tattoos have a higher regret rate than transition." Another reads, "Spread love, not hate. Boycott Harry Potter. " The action was organized by Defund Transphobes, which holds"
"One of the group's main objectives is to help folks understand that the money they spend on the Harry Potter franchise now goes directly to anti-trans causes. Rowling has moved from merely speaking out against trans identity to using her vast fortune to fund the rollback of U.K. civil protections for trans people. The author's JK Rowling Women's Fund (JKRWF) has been quietly operating since late 2024 to support legal cases focusing on dismantling trans rights."
Trans rights activists protested a production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at London's Palace Theatre by writing chalk messages urging fans to avoid the show. Organizers posted sidewalk messages such as "Harry Potter tattoos have a higher regret rate than transition" and "Spread love, not hate. Boycott Harry Potter." The action was organized by Defund Transphobes, which runs "chalk&talk" events and targets areas near Waterstones bookstores. The group has also staged peaceful disruptions inside Waterstones, including funerals for Harry Potter. The group says Harry Potter revenue now funds anti-trans causes, and J.K. Rowling has financed legal efforts aimed at rolling back U.K. trans civil protections.
