Pedro Pascal Slams JK Rowling as 'Heinous Loser' Over Trans Comments

Pedro Pascal, renowned for his roles in hit series like The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has publicly criticized JK Rowling over her controversial stance against the transgender community. The actor's comments came in response to a video by writer and activist Tariq Raouf, which was posted on April 17.

In the video, Raouf criticizes Rowling's endorsement of the UK Supreme Court's decision to define "woman" as "a biological woman and biological sex" in the context of equality legislation, effectively excluding transgender women from protections under the Equality Act. Following the ruling, Rowling celebrated on Twitter/X with a photo of herself smoking a cigar and drinking by the ocean, captioning it, "I love it when a plan comes together." This was a nod to her financial support of the organization For Scotland Women, which filed the lawsuit.

Raouf labeled Rowling's actions as "serious Voldemort villain sht" and called for a boycott of Harry Potter and its related products. In response, Pascal strongly agreed, commenting, "Awful disgusting SHT is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior."

Pascal's support for the transgender community is not new. He has previously expressed his views on social media, stating, "I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist," accompanied by a photo of a sign proclaiming, "A world without trans people has never existed and never will." Additionally, Pascal showed solidarity by wearing a "Protect the dolls" shirt at the Thunderbolts premiere in London, a phrase used within the LGBTQIA+ community to refer to trans women.

His personal connection to the issue is deep; Pascal's sister, Lux Pascal, publicly came out as a trans woman in 2021. Pedro Pascal celebrated her announcement with a heartfelt message in Spanish, "Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux," translating to "My sister, my heart, our Lux."
