"Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms? That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres? That men don't belong in women's sport? That female prisoners shouldn't be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders? That women should remain a protected class in law because they have sex-specific needs and issues? That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?"
"Columbus, who directed the first two films in Rowling's Harry Potter series, said that while he liked to 'separate the artist from the art', what had happened was unfortunate. 'I certainly don't agree with what she's talking about. It's sad, very sad,' he added. He has not spoken to the author for about 10 years so had 'no idea what's going on with her'."
Film director Chris Columbus said he disagrees with JK Rowling's views on gender and sex, calling the situation sad and unfortunate while noting he has not spoken to her for about ten years. Rowling posted on X/Twitter a detailed list of gender-related positions she defends, including women-only changing rooms and bathrooms, female-only rape crisis centres, exclusion of men from women's sport, separate arrangements for female prisoners, legal protection for women based on sex-specific needs, and use of language that reflects biological reality in medical contexts. She also asserted that women should not face harassment or threats for holding these positions.
