Trisha Calls Transphobic Harry Potter Author JK Rowling 'Boss Lady', Netizens Say 'What A...'

Trisha Krishnan is the popular Tamil and Telugu film actress who has also won the 1999 Miss Chennai pageant. She has given many hits recently including Leo, Ponniyin Selvan: I and currently celebrating the success of the latest blockbuster Greatest of All Time (GOAT) with co-starrer Thalapathy Vijay. However, her recent social media activity has caused outrage as she entered the Harry Potter writer’s controversy.

What is the JK Rowling Transgender-Comments Controversy?

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has been at the centre of transphobia accusations for many years. This controversy began when she liked a tweet that appeared to criticise the transgender rights movement and continued with her lengthy personal blogs discussing gender and feminism.

In 2020, J.K. Rowling shared an essay that mentioned "people who menstruate," expressing her disagreement with the omission of the word "women." Following the backlash, she made a cryptic post addressing the transgender community, explaining her reasoning for resharing the essay. 

Later, she also directed transphobic comments at Olympic athlete and Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, despite Khelif not being a trans woman. This incident further underscored J.K. Rowling's alleged transphobia, leading Khelif to file a cyberbullying lawsuit against Rowling, Elon Musk, and others who disseminated false information about her.

The recent incident added to the controversy, a social media user claimed to have burned Rowling's books. She responded, “I get the same royalties whether you read them or burn them. Enjoy your marshmallows.”

Does Trisha Krishnan support transphobic accuse?

According to a Reddit post, Trisha shared Rowling’s X post on her Instagram Story to show her support and referred to her as a ‘boss’.

Trisha Krishnan reshared the viral interaction and captioned it, “Like a boss.” However, her story was no longer visible on her account. This has led to various fans trolling Trisha for backing J.K. Rowling, who has faced accusations of transphobia, questioning whether this is merely a PR blunder and suggesting that the actress might not be aware of Rowling’s comments.

One user commented, “I wish I could earn money by doing literally nothing just like Trisha’s PR team.” Another added, “Why are people ignoring the chance that Trisha could also be a transphobe? If not her social media manager, then perhaps her?” A Reddit user stated, “I believe this is more of a PR fail. Trisha might not know the latest news, but her team should have been more informed!” Another remarked, “What a disappointment.”
