J.K. Rowling's Anti-Trans Controversy Rowling sparked outrage online after she reacted to an 
article titled, 'Opinion: Creating a more equal post- 
COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.'  The 54-year-old writer defended 
her comments on the social media 
platform after being hit with criticism. She also insisted she 
loves the trans community. J.K. Rowling, via Twitter Rowling also shared that she's researched 
the issue over the "last three years." Leung, who starred as Cho Chang 
in the 'Harry Potter' movies, was thrown into the mix after fans claimed Rowling 
lazily named the only Asian character in the series.  Leung proceeded to post four links to 
support black trans people and ended 
the thread with #AsiansForBlackLives.
