Daniel Radcliffe has opened up about J.K. Rowling’s comments about the trans community. Her main star, who played the famous wizard in the film series, has commented in a new interview. Speaking to The Atlantic about his current role in the Broadway production of "Merrily We Roll Along", Radcliffe said: “It makes me really sad, ultimately. Because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.” He confirmed that he has not had any contact with Rowling since she began making th...

Germany's parliament passed a new law on Friday, easing legal procedures for changing names and gender identity. The 'Gender Identity Act' was widely supported by the ruling 'traffic light' coalition of Olaf Scholz, though debates were fiery and emotional. The final vote count was 374 in favour with 251 against. Before the new legislation - which comes into effect on 1 November - those applying to legally change gender needed the approval of two psychiatrists “sufficiently familiar with the particular problems of transsexualism.” A court would then decide if the legal change was allowed. Now, ...

Calexico (United States) (AFP) - Thousands of people voted to elect Raul Urena to Calexico council, hoping the young politician would bring a fresh approach to the California border city's long-standing problems with unemployment, crime and deprivation. But when Urena started pushing ideas popular with progressives across the United States, some voters changed their minds. The fact that Urena also took to wearing a dress and high heels to council meetings left some of them feeling duped. Urena, who uses she/her pronouns, sees transphobia in an effort to recall her in a referendum on Tuesday. B...

The change would replace the existing "transsexual law" and mean that individuals would no longer need to present a medical certificate or obtain expert opinions to change gender, the German justice ministry said. Uterus transplants are already a reality. What does it mean for transgender women getting pregnant?Germany’...

Der Vater einer ermordeten Transjugendlichen hat eine Entschuldigung vom britischen Premier Rishi Sunak für dessen Bemerkung im Parlament gefordert. Als Premierminister «solch herabwürdigende Kommentare» zu machen - auch wenn in Zusammenhang mit einer Parlamentsdebatte - sei «absolut entmenschlichend», sagte er nach Angaben des Fernsehsenders Sky News. Sunak steht in der Kritik, weil er die Definition des Frauseins als politischen Streitpunkt ausgenutzt hatte, während die Mutter des getöteten Mädchens als Gast das Parlament in London besucht hatte. Die 16-jährige Brianna war im Februar 2023 vo...

Washington (AFP) - "Unethical," "scary" and "maddening" -- human rights groups have reacted with fury to a Texas order that a state agency should investigate cases of transgender children receiving gender-affirming medical care as child abuse. Earlier this week, Republican Governor Greg Abbott sent a letter to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, directing it to probe "any reported instances of Texas children being subjected to abusive gender-transitioning procedures". The order -- which has been condemned by US President Joe Biden's Democratic administration -- followed a l...
