Wrong side of history. Wrong side of science. Wrong side of Reality.

From politicians to celebrities, many of the great and the good have taken up the trans debate with gusto.

Following Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling that a trans woman is legally not a woman, here are some of the leading figures who have insisted the opposite, or claimed they must have access to spaces traditionally reserved for females.

Owen Jones

The Guardian columnist has frequently spoken out on the gender debate.

In a 2019 column on the dwindling number of public lavatories, he wrote: “Twenty-first-century toilet provision must cater for gender-neutral spaces and ensure that the rights of trans people are protected too.”

Daniel Radcliffe

The star of the Harry Potter film series was at the centre of a row with JK Rowling in 2020 over the writer’s stance on gender.

He said: “Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people.”

Sir Keir Starmer

The Prime Minister appears to have changed his views on the gender debate over the years.

In 2022, the then Labour leader said: “A woman is a female adult, and, in addition to that, trans women are women, and that is not just my view, that is actually the law”.

Jameela Jamil

The actress and presenter suggested debates about transgender women in sport were being used to “distract” from the rollback of abortion rights.

As part of a tweet in 2022, she wrote: “Our uteruses are being controlled by the government but no no, let’s keep distracting ourselves with the vast minority that is trans women in sports.”

Emma Watson

The actress who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films was also involved the row with Rowling. In 2020, Watson tweeted: “Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned.”

Rupert Grint

The actor, who played Ron Weasley, joined his Harry Potter co-stars in speaking out on the transgender debate in 2020. He said: “I firmly stand with the trans community.

“Trans women are women. Trans men are men. We should all be entitled to live with love and without judgement.”

Sir Elton John

The musician said gender-critical comments made by Germaine Greer had shown her to be “an attention seeker” in an interview with Emily Maitlis in 2015.

David Tennant

The former Doctor Who star said Kemi Badenoch, then-equalities minister, should “shut up” about her views on transgender people.

Accepting an award for “celebrity ally” at the British LGBT Awards in 2024, Tennant said: “Until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn’t exist any more – I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up – whilst we do live in this world, I am honored to receive this [award].”

Kylie Minogue

The pop star briefly addressed a question on single-sex spaces when interviewed by the Guardian in 2020.

She said: “If you’re a transgender woman, you should use the women’s facilities, surely?” before redirecting the conversation.

Eddie Redmayne

The British Star was nominated for an Oscar for his role as transgender Lili Elbe in the 2015 film The Danish Girl.

However, in 2021, he said it was a “mistake” for him to take on the role as a “cisgender” actor.

He said: “No, I wouldn’t take it on now. I made that film with the best intentions, but I think it was a mistake.”

Jolyon Maugham KC

Jolyon Maugham described LGB Alliance as a “transphobic hate group”. Mr Maugham, who founded Good Law Project, told Pink News in 2021: “I strongly encourage you to quote me calling the LGB Alliance a transphobic hate group.” LGB Alliance is an advocacy group which describes itself as “asserting the right of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men to define themselves as same-sex attracted”.

Zendaya

Zendaya told Vogue that feminism should be inclusive of “all women” including trans women. Speaking to the magazine in 2021, the actress said true feminism must encompass “women that look like you, women who don’t look like you, women whose experiences are different than you”.

She continued: “That means black women, that means trans women, that means all women.”

Jedward

The X Factor stars, whose real names are John and Edward Grimes, also waded into the JK Rowling row in 2020 following the publication of her book ‘Troubled Blood’. Tweeting from their official account, the brothers wrote: “Does anyone need firewood this winter! JK’s new book is perfect to burn next to a romantic fire. Aww get all cozy and comfy can’t wait.”

Lily Allen

The outspoken singer posted a meme, a visual joke, in 2015 which pointed to a brain stating “gender is up here” and then to a pair of underpants that said “not down there”.

Jeremy Corbyn

Jeremy Corbyn was leader of the Labour Party in 2018 when he told the BBC that “the position of the party is that where you have self-identified as a woman, then you are treated as a woman”.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Social Media: Ban Conservatives Immediately!

Former basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has a lot to say about Big Tech, social media, and their collective tendency to censor conservatives, ban Trump supporters, and twist the rules to make sure that only one narrative gets to the public at large. Long story short: He’s all for it! In fact, Abdul-Jabbar said in a Hollywood Reporter op-ed this week that he’d like to see Twitter and Facebook take a harder line on conservative celebrities and remove them from the platforms altogether.

“Few are more beloved than J.K. Rowling, whose Harry Potter books make up the best-selling series in history. Yet her anti-trans tweets may not only damage the Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises, they could end up tainting her entire literary legacy,” wrote Abdul-Jabbar. “Even the stars of the movies — Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Eddie Redmayne — have spoken out against her position. John Cleese’s tone-deaf defense of Rowling left many fans bitterly disappointed, tarnishing his reputation.

“It would be tempting to dismiss this self-mutilation as merely the triggering of overly sensitive ‘cancel culture.’ But some of this public braying does immediate harm to the foundation of society,” he continued. “Giuliani’s attacks on the integrity of the 2020 elections, without any substantive evidence, has undermined the democratic process. A post-election poll indicated that 77 percent of Republicans think Joe Biden won because of fraud. Since no credible proof has ever been shown, this opinion can only be held because they practice flat-earther, anti-vaxxer cult-think: Someone in authority told me what I want to hear, so it must be true.”

That’s rich. Why does Abdul-Jabbar believe that the election went off without a hint of fraud? Because he personally conducted an audit of the 2020 election? Or because someone in authority told him what he wanted to hear?

Furthermore, if J.K. Rowling’s insistence that we should probably be a bit more cautious before we give puberty-blocking hormones to young girls and that there is no way to change your biological sex is enough to taint “her entire literary legacy,” then it only speaks to just how monstrously idiotic our civilization is becoming.

“Many Americans imbue stars with political and social intelligence they just don’t have. Great success in one field can lead to the delusion that all your thoughts are great,” he continued. “It doesn’t help to be surrounded by fawning people whose job it is to agree with everything you say. The irresponsibility of tweeting irrational and harmful opinions to millions, regardless of the damaging consequences to their country or people’s lives, proves that those stars deserve the harsh backlash.”

Well, we certainly agree with that first sentence. We might even extend it to cover former basketball players.
