Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has criticised Labour this week for "abandoning" women over its stance on the rights of transgender people. Writing in The Times, Rowling, a former Labour donor, said she would struggle to vote for Keir Starmer in the upcoming general elections. Rowling's comments refer to Labour’s pledge to “modernise” the process by which people can change gender. In its election manifesto, Labour has committed to making it easier for people to legally change gender, replacing the “outdated” necessity to present evidence showing that a person has lived as their new gender for...

Gender-neutral acting categories for award shows have been gaining popularity over the years. In 2012, the Grammys removed gendered categories, allowing men and women to compete against each other for all awards, under titles like “Best Perfromer”. Other awards shows have axed their gendered categories to champion inclusivity, like the MTV Movie & TV Awards, Independent Spirit Awards, Gotham Awards, and BRIT Awards, who introduced gender neutral awards to be "even more inclusive, recognising exceptional work rather than how artists identify.” Now, in a bid to be more inclusive to gender non-co...

J.K. Rowling has revealed in a new book of essays that her loved ones had tried to persuade her to keep her views on transgender women to herself. The Harry Potter author has contributed to an essay collection, "The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht", and in an extract published in The Times said that “people around me, including some I love, were begging me not to speak.” “So I watched from the sidelines as women with everything to lose rallied, in Scotland and across the UK, to defend their rights. My guilt that I wasn’t standing with them was with me daily, like a chronic pain.” Rowling has caused...

When the Cannes Film Festival made history last Saturday by awarding the Best Actress prize to the ensemble cast of French director Jacques Audiard’s film Emilia Pérez, a cast which includes transgender actress Karla Sofía Gascón, one voice felt it had to make itself heard. French far-right politician Marion Maréchal, the head of France’s Reconquête! party list for the European elections, made comments about Karla Sofía Gascón. She wrote on X: “So it's a man who is receiving the prize for... female interpretation at Cannes. Progress for the left is the erasure of women and mothers.” Now, six a...

Daniel Radcliffe has opened up about J.K. Rowling’s comments about the trans community. Her main star, who played the famous wizard in the film series, has commented in a new interview. Speaking to The Atlantic about his current role in the Broadway production of "Merrily We Roll Along", Radcliffe said: “It makes me really sad, ultimately. Because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.” He confirmed that he has not had any contact with Rowling since she began making th...

Germany's parliament passed a new law on Friday, easing legal procedures for changing names and gender identity. The 'Gender Identity Act' was widely supported by the ruling 'traffic light' coalition of Olaf Scholz, though debates were fiery and emotional. The final vote count was 374 in favour with 251 against. Before the new legislation - which comes into effect on 1 November - those applying to legally change gender needed the approval of two psychiatrists “sufficiently familiar with the particular problems of transsexualism.” A court would then decide if the legal change was allowed. Now, ...

German lawmakers are expected to vote on Friday on legislation that would make it easier for transgender, intersex and nonbinary people to legally change their name and gender. The "self-determination bill" would allow adults to change their name and gender at registry offices. The change would replace the existing "transsexual law" and mean that individuals would no longer need to present a medical certificate or obtain expert opinions to change gender, the German justice ministry said. Uterus transplants are already a reality. What does it mean for transgender women getting pregnant?Germany’...
