Cho Chang is making her thoughts known and clear.
Over the weekend, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowlingfaced backlash and accusations of transphobia after she made a series of comments on Twitter. The morning after, Katie Leung, the actress behind the famed Harry Potter character Cho Chang, seemingly reacted to the controversy with a thread of her own.
"So, you want my thoughts on Cho Chang? Okay, here goes...," she began before tweeting out a series of links to resources supporting black transgender people and LGBTQ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Middle Eastern and Latin American descent, a petition calling for more protection for black transgender women in the United Kingdom and a fund for the community of black transgender women in Atlanta who are homeless and/or sex workers.
She concluded the thread with, "#AsiansForBlackLives."
On Saturday, Rowling tweeted a link to a Devex opinion article headlined "Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate" and responded with, "'People who menstruate.' I'm sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?"
