Pedro Pascal slams J.K. Rowling again over trans rights issue

Pedro Pascal is explaining his views on trans rights and why he spoke against J.K. Rowling when she supported the U.K. Supreme Court’s ruling that the word “women” means people born with the female sex.

In April, the Harry Potter author took to social media after the ruling and shared a photo of herself drinking, with the caption, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

The Last of Us star also took to social media and slammed the author for “heinous loser behavior.”

Now, the actor is doubling down on his stance, noting, “bullies make me sick.”

When the comment went viral, he briefly felt like “that kid that got sent to the principal’s office a lot for behavioral issues in public schools feeling scared and thinking, ‘What’d I do?'”

“The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, ‘Am I helping? Am I f*cking helping?’” Pascal told Vanity Fair.

“It’s a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected. Listen, I want to protect the people I love,” he shared.

The Game of Thrones star confessed, “But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f*cking sick.” 

Pedro Pascal's younger sister, Lux, came out as trans in 2021.
