Nicola Cochlan, one of the many stars of Barbie and lady whistledown sole in Netflix Bridgerton,, Responded to a recent decision of the British Supreme Court with a few words of choice for the British author JK Rowling and an impressive fundraising effort.
Wednesday, the British Supreme Court judged that the legal definition of women is based on biological sex – a decision which was a blow to activists of trans rights and a boon for self -written “sexospecific” feminists, the most famous of which is Harry Potter Author JK Rowling. Rowling celebrated the decision by publishing a photo of his alcohol consumption and smoking a cigar aboard his Superyacht of $ 150 million in the Bahamas with legend: “I love it when a plan comes together.”
Meanwhile, Coughlan, which previously raised nearly $ 2 million for various charities in Palestine, responded to the decision by launching a new fundraising via Instagram for the charitable organization transmitted to the United Kingdom and not a phase. In a video published on his Instagram account, Cany said that she was “completely horrified” by the decision of the Supreme Court and that seeing “an already marginalized community was attacked and attacked in law” was really “the lance of the stomach and the disgust”, as it saw people celebrating the news.
She also announced that it would equal all the donations made to her fundraising up to £ 10,000 (around $ 13,000), a target that was quickly achieved. Fund collection has since collected more than $ 140,000, with celebrities like the singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams and Yellow Jackets The star Melanie Lynskey also makes a donation.
In addition, Cuchlan republished an article in the Cup About the decision, entitled “This is a new hollow for JK Rowling”, to its Instagram history, adding its own comment: “Keep your new guys from Harry Potter. Would not touch him with a ten -foot pole.”
For many supporters of trans rights, the continuous and vocal opposition of Rowling to their cause and position as one of the most important figures of the anti-trans movement Harry Potter Series, which is currently adapted to television by HBO.
Rowling would have donated more than $ 90,000 to the Anti-Trans group for Women Scotland, one of the parties of the recent decision of the Supreme Court. Coughlan has also republished an Instagram publication of the abortion network based in the United Kingdom by commenting on the donation and adding: “£ 70,000 would have covered the costs of each abortion that we have financed this year”.
The defenders of Trans criticized those who signed to play in the series, notably John Lithgow as Dumbledore and Nick Frost as Hagrid, because of the money that the show will generate for Rowling, which, according to them, will then use this money to finance future challenges for trans and causes.
Lithgow, for his part, seems to think that criticisms stem from his nationality – the American – according to the BBC The only show, “I know there were a lot of dismayed people that an American was hired to play the ultimate English assistant. But, I will do my best. “
Coughlan put an end to his Instagram video with a plea for supporters of trans rights to speak, saying to his disciples: “If you are a cisgenre person who is an ally of (the trans community), I think it’s time to speak, and to make your voice heard, and to fight for them.”
