'Harry Potter' actor Daniel Radcliffe released a statement addressing author J.K. Rowling's recent comments on gender identity, writing 'Transgender women are women.'

"I realize that certain press outlets will probably want to paint this as in-fighting between J.K. Rowling and myself, but that is really not what this is about, nor is it what’s important right now. While Jo is unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken, as someone who has been honored to work with and continues to contribute to The Trevor Project for the last decade, and just as a human being, I feel compelled to say something at this moment," Radcliffe wrote.

"According to The Trevor Project, 78% of transgender and nonbinary youth reported being the subject of discrimination due to their gender identity. It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm," he continued.

. It’s an introductory educational resource that covers a wide range of topics, including the differences between sex and gender, and shares best practices on how to support transgender and nonbinary people."series who have found solace and hope in the story's themes. "To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you," he reflected.

Those Harry Potter fans don’t like when you tell her you disagree! I got booted off of Twitter for not liking her BS.

She tweeted about menstruation and now she's the devil. The world is insane. At least she's rich as hell & can just not give a fuck.

it's not like I am going to bother a 'great' transgender novel for a while!
