Groveling BBC Reportedly Issues 2nd Apology To J.K. Rowling

The BBC issued a second apology to author JK Rowling after she was accused on live television of being transphobic, according to Deadline.
During BBC Radio Scotland’s “Good Morning Scotland” show Feb. 10, a transgender woman said she boycotted the new Harry Potter video game “Hogwarts Legacy” because the game’s revenue was allegedly used to “fund the anti-trans movement,” according to Deadline.
The game will feature a transgender character, Sirona Ryan, who owns the Three Broomsticks pub. Ryan tells players in the game that Hogwarts classmates had to realize the character was “actually a witch, not a wizard.”
Broadcaster and writer Carrie Marshall said on the podcast that “this is having a measurable effect on trans people’s lives and potentially our safety too. I think that’s why so many trans people are concerned about this game,” according to Deadline.
The BBC previously issued an apology to Rowling after transgender gamer and guest Stacey Henley accused Rowling of transphobia, Deadline reported.
