\t\t<\/p>\n David Tennant<\/strong><\/a> is urging J.K. Rowling<\/strong><\/a> to curb her anti-trans comments. <\/p>\n The 55-year-old actor, who played Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire<\/em>, voiced his opinion about J.K.<\/strong> openly celebrating the U.K.\u2019s Supreme Court ruling that trans women should not be recognized as women under the Equality Act.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was a teenager, there was this thing that Margaret Thatcher\u2019s government introduced called section 28, which was about stopping the promotion of homosexuality in school, which was a weird umbrella term, which was basically saying it was illegal to talk about being gay in school, or to suggest that that might be a normal way of behaving,\u201d he said while on a recent episode of The Assembly<\/em>, per The Guardian<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe look back on that now as a medieval, absurd thing to try and say, and I think the way the trans community is being demonized and othered is exactly the same,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n He continued, \u201cJ.K. Rowling<\/strong> is a wonderful author who\u2019s created brilliant stories, and I wish her no ill will, but I hope that we can all as a society, just let people be. Just get out of people\u2019s way.\u201d<\/p>\n If you didn\u2019t see, earlier this month, another actor criticized J.K.<\/strong>\u2018s support<\/a> of the U.K.\u2019s anti-trans ruling. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
