Fox News
HBO issued a statement clarifying it stands by "Harry Potter" series creator J.K. Rowling amid the backlash against her for her views on trans issues.
"J.K. Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement," a network spokesperson told the outlet. Gabriel Hays is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
Rowling has drawn the ire of the left in recent years for her vocal social media posts criticizing transgender activists for insisting that biological males are females. She has argued that the trans movement "seeks to erode 'woman' as a political and biological class."
