Inciting the most exaggerated of eyerolls, transphobes are coming for LGBTQ+ allies Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend of 10 years Erin Darke, but their ignorant claim isn't even the burn they think it is.
Radcliffe has been public and unapologetic on his stance of protecting and advocating for the trans community as well as with his involvement in the Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization focused on suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ+ youth.
The Harry Potter star even called out outspoken transphobic Harry Potter author JK Rowling for her public hate-spewing against trans people on social media.
But now it looks like Rowling's fellow TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) muggles are determined to undermine and baselessly attack Radcliffe and his girlfriend... in the most ignorant way possible.
Proud TERF and A Fool's Circle author Suzanne Seddon created a 💩storm amongst like-minded "gender critical" bigots on Twitter when she posted a photo of Radcliffe with Darke, who is pregnant, with the caption:
"This is Daniel Radcliffes (Harry Potter) Girlfriend."
Thanks for telling us who Daniel Radcliffe is.
"Now what do you see? 🥴"
\u201cErin Darke isn't transgender.\nSuzanne Seddon is attacking a woman because she doesn't look "feminine enough" to meet her standards.\n\nTransphobia hurts trans people but it also hurts cis women. This terf logic relies on prejudice and othering to function, it's entirely hateful.\u201d— Esme (@Esme) 1680797556
Implying Darke is transgender because she is *gasp* taller than her 5'5" boyfriend, Seddon rallied the transphobic troops who immediately chimed in.
And their responses were just as empty and callow as the original tweet.
\u201c@suzseddon At least he won't have to worry about his "girlfriend" getting pregnant\u201d— Q Wales (@Q Wales) 1680772591
\u201c@suzseddon Women don't rest their arm on men's shoulders.\u201d— Moo (@Moo) 1680765490
\u201c@suzseddon That's a man, this man/woman as more masculine features than Daniel, I her/him voice is even deeper than Daniels? What funny world we live in now! Everything upside down?\u201d— Ras Kayleb (@Ras Kayleb) 1680771767
\u201c@suzseddon Hahaha is this for real? How would anyone say that\u2019s a woman?\u201d— Maggie (@Maggie) 1680771945
\u201c@suzseddon That\u2019s a fella! How can they be expecting a child? Ewww\u201d— Natalie_Hird77 (@Natalie_Hird77) 1680770066
Others, however, were quick to call out Seddon and her flock for their ignorance, many also noting calling someone "trans" isn't an insult, anyway.
Lose-lose losers.
\u201ceveryones (rightly) saying how its really misogynistic how TERFs will excommunicate a woman from woman for *any* masculine features \n\nbut even if this *was* a trans woman, why would pointing out radcliffe dating a trans woman be some kind of "dunk" on him?\u201d— \ud83c\udf3b All \ud83d\udc9b Nazis \u2764\ufe0f Are \ud83d\udc9a Nonces \ud83c\udf3b\u272a (@\ud83c\udf3b All \ud83d\udc9b Nazis \u2764\ufe0f Are \ud83d\udc9a Nonces \ud83c\udf3b\u272a) 1680780449
\u201cTransphobia absolutely rots the brain. Cos what everyone else sees is Daniel Radcliffe and his (currently pregnant) girlfriend Erin, but because he\u2019s vocally supportive of trans people this transphobe has decided she\u2019s not feminine enough and must be secretly trans\u201d— Dr Panti Bliss-Cabrera (@Dr Panti Bliss-Cabrera) 1680779314
Several even took the opportunity to answer Seddon's question, "Now what do you see?"
Hey, she asked...
\u201c@suzseddon A tweet by a hate-filled bigot\u201d— P. Revess (@P. Revess) 1680801641
\u201c@suzseddon I see a very beautiful person! Don\u2019t be jealous? Daniel gets all the cuties and it\u2019s understandable when middle aged women get jealous & hate. Gotta deal with the rejection some how, right? \ud83d\ude0f\u201d— Barnacules Nerdgasm \u2122\ufe0f (@Barnacules Nerdgasm \u2122\ufe0f) 1680785734
\u201c@suzseddon A person on Twitter who should spend some time reconsidering her life choices and maybe go for a walk or something.\u201d— Daniel Summers, MD (@Daniel Summers, MD) 1680803474
\u201c@suzseddon Woman attacks another woman's appearance for Twitter clout\n\nGroundbreaking\u201d— Duncan Lindsay (@Duncan Lindsay) 1680775084
\u201c@suzseddon You policing a woman\u2019s appearance?\u201d— hamish steele! (@hamish steele!) 1680779939
\u201c@suzseddon I see a jealous person tweeting about Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend.\u201d— Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi (@Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi) 1680784647
\u201c@suzseddon I see Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend Erin who are expecting their first child\u201d— Dr Panti Bliss-Cabrera (@Dr Panti Bliss-Cabrera) 1680779389
Seddon's Twitter account is now locked.
Another L for transphobes everywhere.
