Actor Rupert Grint, best known for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series is the latest star who voiced his support for the Trans community after JK Rowling's anti-trans tweets. After Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, expressed their stand, Rupert also has now shared his opinion on the matter.

In a statement to The Times, he said, "I firmly stand with the trans community and echo the sentiments expressed by many of my peers. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. We should all be entitled to live with love and without judgment."

For the uninformed, in a series of tweets, Rowling said she supported trans rights but did not believe in "erasing" the concept of biological sex. The comments prompted Daniel and other members of the cast from Harry Potter films to publicly disagree with her.

Daniel, in an essay on the Trevor Project, 'a non-profit dedicated to crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBTQ people', wrote, "Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I."

Apart from him, Emma tweeted, "Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are."

Rowling who still maintained her stand on the subject issued a statement about the same and said, "I’m mentioning these things now not in an attempt to garner sympathy, but out of solidarity with the huge numbers of women who have histories like mine, who’ve been slurred as bigots for having concerns around single-sex spaces. The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women — ie, to male violence — ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences — is nonsense."
