J.K. Rowling has been “radicalised by TERFs”, Sir Stephen Fry has claimed, as he branded his former friend a “lost cause”. The Telegraph has the story.
It is the first time the comedian and television presenter, who narrated all seven Harry Potter audio books, has criticised his former friend, describing her as a “lost cause”.
Speaking on the Show People podcast, Sir Stephen said: “She has been radicalised, I fear, and it may be she has been radicalised by TERFs, but also by the vitriol that is thrown at her.
“‘It is unhelpful and only hardens her and will only continue to harden her, I am afraid.
“I am not saying that she [should] not be called out when she says things that are really cruel, wrong and mocking. She seems to be a lost cause for us.”
The term TERF is used as a slur to describe ‘transgender-exclusionary radical feminists’.
Rowling has become a leading voice in the transgender debate.
She hailed the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling that transgender women are not legally women as a victory and posted a picture of herself enjoying a drink and a cigar in April.
Sir Stephen is the latest high-profile figure to criticise the author, following well-documented fall-outs with original cast members Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
It is the first time he has criticised his former friend.
He claimed she was “mocking” LGBT+ people and vowed his support for the community. …
But added that he had always enjoyed her company and previously found her “charming, funny and interesting”.
“‘When it comes to the transphobia issue, it is right to remind people that trans people are here and that they are hurting and that they are being abominably treated,” he said.

Make that a lying bigot. There’s no end of powerful actors forcing “trans” onto the population as hard as possible and most people who end up getting mauled by this lack the prominence and financial independence of Rowling.
NHS nurses being sacked because they don’t want to undress in front of men is not abominable treatment of these men.
Agreed – it’s Fry that has been radicalised, very obviously. He is going to destroy a lot of the goodwill he enjoys as a “national treasure” by adopting this stance, which is a real shame considering his back-catalogue of excellent work.
Fry has been willingly radicalised by people trying to force their proclivities on other people such as children. The truth is that he is deflecting onto others.
whatever his proclivities are it it is not what the majority of people want, not even in his own camp (pun intended).
A quote from an article on a debate in Cambridge, “The actor Stephen Fry was among those worried about the threat to free speech – saying calls for “respect” might have been well-intentioned, but people could not “demand” that their views would always be respected by others”.
They don’t deserve to be addressed as Sir, most have sullied the title, its just a platform to the pompous and woke.

How many’s that now that have made a fortune ( and acquired fame ) courtesy of Rowling but are quite comfortable badmouthing and stabbing her in the back?
J.K Rowling reminds me of Israel. She’s constantly being attacked from all angles by a barrage of people with a toxic mindset who have pledged their allegiance to an extremely dangerous and destructive ideology. However, it’s well-reasoned, accurately placed words that are her weapon of choice when retaliating and defending herself ( and the vulnerable ) against the obsessive and deluded who continue to deny reality and others’ hard-won rights. Ergo, she predictably triumphs over these toxic toads, every single time;
”It’s all rather wearily predictable, isn’t it?
To those out there who claim to be ‘angry’ or ‘disappointed’, whilst misinterpreting JKR’s actual words, despite having made or about to make a mint on the back of JK Rowling’s name, might I suggest funnelling some of that righteous fury into financially disavowing any future income?
That way, it might just give your public statements some backbone…”
Trans people are certainly not being “abominably treated”. All we hear in “trans this, trans that”, and society has bent over backwards to include them; what with pronouns on profiles, “trans days of visibility”, the pride flag absolutely everywhere, etc. Most people wouldn’t really give a toss if a man wants to dress up as a woman – I mean, who cares? The problems arise when they expect actual women to share their private spaces, because they are still, in unchangeable reality, men.
It may well be the case that a large proportion of “trans women” have no interest in ogling or harrassing actual women in these spaces, but that does not mean they have to just accept that they now have to share their spaces and risk SA or worse from those that are cosplaying for autogynephilic purposes.
It’s not on, and many gay people have distanced themselves from their own pride movement as a result.
Pride is quite clear on this. It claims binary sex in humans is only a social construct, ergo homosexuality cannot exist. Gays need to disassociate from that menacing pointy flag pronto.
Exactly – this stuff has hijacked the gay pride movement which was built up over years, and all sorts of kinks have jumped on the bandwagon such as people who are into animals, people who think they have “2 spirits”, and more worryingly, the “Minor Attracted Person” crowd. The further removed from social norms the better, it seems.

I had no idea about any of this. That Fry hero worships nonces because he, himself, is fully onboard with said noncery. This is a big ole thread and you won’t be able to view the many screenshots unless you’re on Twitter, but I’ll try and share most of the text;
”In a society that took child abuse seriously Stephen Fry’s long track record of minimising child sexual exploitation would have disbarred him from the nation’s top honour. In Fry’s first play ‘Latin’ an adult teacher sexually abuses a 13 year old boy and takes him to Morocco. The boy writes back to his schoolmates praising the country which he claims takes a relaxed attitude to sex between men and underage boys. They petition to visit. Fry’s interest in adolescent boys continues in ‘Hippopotamus’ in which a 15 year old has sex with adults. These abusive adults consider the sex so extraordinary they believe it has cured them of disease. There are endless descriptions by Fry of the 15 year old’s naked body that culminate in a 3 page account of him having sex with a horse. I’ll spare you the pornographic details.
If this troubling attitude to child abuse was reserved for Fry’s fiction perhaps it could be put down to some kind of dramatic license. Instead it seeps into Fry’s public statements. In 2016 he told abuse victims to stop feeling sorry for themselves. He shocked a BAFTA audience with a joke that implied the appalling abuse of children by paedophile priests in the film ‘Spotlight’ was an example of a love theme in a movie. Where on earth does Fry get his apparent complacence about child safeguarding? In his memoir ‘Moab is My Washpot’ Fry revealed as an adolescent -unlike young gays today – he was inspired by the historical example of old gay men “sequestered in Capri and Tangier”. Perhaps he was unaware Capri and Tangier historically were infamous bywords for pederasty.
That seems unlikely if a remarkable article Fry wrote in 2009 is anything to go by. In a letter to his younger self Fry celebrated a list of 20 “queer” icons he claims inspired him as a 16 year old. Many are obscure. Only two have no link to pederasty. While huge gay icons like Walt Whitman, Edward Carpenter and E M Forster are notably absent Fry includes names like Wilhelm von Gloeden whose photographs of naked adolescent Sicilian boys were all the rage at the turn of the 20th Century. Among men of a certain persuasion. Robin Maugham was a well-regarded novelist but his memoir openly acknowledged his life-long pursuit of boys. He travelled to an oasis in Egypt when he was told local bachelors were allowed to chase prepubescent boys…and rxpe them. He’s not the only scumbag on Fry’s list.”
”The French playwright Henry de Montherlant wasn’t just an arch misogynist and an advocate of collaboration with the Nazis he ruthlessly and violently predated on young boys. He compared his visits to Algeria to rxpe boys to ….hunting for animals. French writer Roger Peyrefitte was a friend of Montherlant. They hunted boys together. Fry may have been unaware of his pederasty despite the fact Peyrefitte was completely open about it. ‘Notre Amour’ published in 1967 is an account of his “relationship” with a 14 year old. He would later admit the boy was 12 when he began abusing him sexually. The French literary Establishment showered awards on him. Of course they did. I won’t go through all of Fry’s list of allegedly inspiring “queer” icons. The last one for now is Angus Stewart.
In ‘Tangier: A Writer’s Notebook’ it soon becomes clear Stewart’s penchant is for boys aged 11. Even if somehow a 16 year old Fry mistakenly thought the likes of Stewart were inspirational it beggars belief a 51 year old Fry in 2009 would continue to applaud these predators. And yet Fry did applaud them and has never to my knowledge uttered a word of criticism about any of the predators in his rogue’s gallery of a list. Indeed he went further, saying, “those same names are still so close to the surface of my mind nearly four decades later”.
What’s the connection between Fry’s knighthood and the rxpe gang scandal? Like Pakistani Muslims Fry is a member of a group our institutions too often consider immune from criticism: gay men. Calling out his attitude to abuse might have seemed homophobic. But it isn’t. As a gay man who experienced grooming as a schoolboy (my teacher was eventually jailed) it infuriates me that prominent gay men like Fry can minimise, joke about and even it would seem celebrate child abusers as “inspirational”. This is not in the best interests of gay men. If a culture of immunity develops where some gay men -like some predatory Pakistani Muslim men- begin to think no one will dare to criticise them that can only embolden others who don’t just hold dodgy views like Fry but indulge in dodgy real-world behaviour.
The UK has seen fit to honour a man who sexualises adolescent boys in his fiction, frequently minimises the horrors of abuse and writes approvingly of notorious child rxpists. That reveals just how much our Establishment really cares about child exploitation. It doesn’t.”
Here’s the slimy paedo-apologist 10 years ago rebranding the victims of the Pakistani rape gangs as “child prostitutes”. And how he previously said victims of sex abuse should stop feeling sorry for themselves is a serious red flag and especially despicable. You can see why he’s keen on relationships where there’s a massive age gap now we know his leanings. Creepy bugger;
A very long list of reasons why Fry should never have been considered for a knighthood.
But of course, our woke society would strongly disagree!

“The term TERF is used as a slur to describe ‘transgender-exclusionary radical feminists’”.
I see it as a complement not a slur. Rather like being called ‘far right’ should now be worn as a badge of honour.
The trouble is the ‘F’ is for ‘feminist’, which then automatically excludes women who aren’t feminists and obviously all men. So I wouldn’t like to be called a TERF because there’s plenty of regular and decent people who oppose this gender identity BS that this wouldn’t apply to. Mind, I ignore all made-up, daft terms and words anyway. They’re just a ridiculous attempt at labeling people. Also, the irony is that we know a hell of a lot of feminists are onboard with this trans crap and would gladly support the transing of kids, men in women’s sports and changing rooms. Too many are hypocrites and actively enable the attack on female sex-based rights and mutilation of kids. I think a lot of them are socialists.

Stephen Fry is a waste of space. He even annoyed me when he was about 5 – I lived over the road from him.
OK, we have reluctantly accepted ‘stabbers and lickkers’ into our new ‘perverted’ society, but now we are being pushed to normalise gender bending and the ridiculous arguments for trans justification in sport. Common sense tells us how ridiculous all this is, so there must be another agenda, and personally I believe it is the planned normalisation of child abuse & paedophilia, which we MUST prevent at all costs if we still have a moral compass.

I wrote a mild comment and it appears to have been removed. I am very disappointed in Daily Sceptic if that is the case. I expected the same degree of tolerance of normal human expression, as one has on X. If this is definitely the case, I will be advising others not to subscribe to the Daily Sceptic. I am sick of censorship; of course censor violence, obscenity etc, but not a light comment about knowing Fry as a child! Come on! Some things should be taken seriously, others definitely not.

They make a mockery of themselves so need no outside help.
Yeah! Great point! I would hazard a guess that 95% of homosexuals are completely against this transgenderism nonsense.
This heterosexual is tempted to join the LGB alliance to show support.
He is a typical example of someone who has built a reputation on……nothing! just image!
Thats the case with almost everyone on ‘the Telly’ and those in the acting ‘profession’. Just doing what others tell them to do and say…easy peasy
Fry, you’re the lost cause, pal. JK is a hero for the cause of human decency and common sense and I salute her.

We’re bored with you and the ‘the love that won’t shut up’ agenda.
Nice one.
Yes, can’t stand him; realised that when I was about 7 and lived the other side of the road from him who was an irritating little boy.
Isn’t there a Fry quote going around about free speech and people having to accept hearing things they might not agree with? – how’s this different?
A quote from an article on a debate in Cambridge, “The actor Stephen Fry was among those worried about the threat to free speech – saying calls for “respect” might have been well-intentioned, but people could not “demand” that their views would always be respected by others”.
Clearly Fry has double standards.
Who on earth knighted him?,
….along with Keir Starmer, Sadiq Khan, etc etc. It seems knighthood has become utterly meaningless.
Meaningless, corrupt and irrelevant.
