Pedro Pascal has accused JK Rowling of “heinous loser behaviour” in light of her latest social media posts about the transgender community.

Last week, the Supreme Court made a divisive ruling, which stated that the legal definition of a woman in the UK now only covers those assigned female at birth.

This came about after Rowling – whose commentary on trans issues has made her a polarising figure in recent years – reportedly donated £70,000 to the campaign group who raised the legal challenge which led to the Supreme Court’s ruling.

After the decision was announced, the Harry Potter author posted a picture of herself on X raising a glass and smoking a cigar, remarking: “I love it when a plan comes together.”

The writer and activist Tariq Ra’ouf then posted a video on social media urging people to swerve projects inspired by Rowling’s work, in light of what he described as “awful disgusting shit” she has put into the world.
