But the actor, who played Professor Sprout, said she “didn’t like the fact that the trans community has reacted with such fury” to her remarks.
“It's not good to be so furious. We should be gentler with each other. We're all oppressed by sections of the community. Let's just be kinder.”
Won’t trans folks just be kinder to the meanies who don’t believe in your right to exist?
- Yeah, she needs to stay in her lane rather than tell victims how to react.
  
  More like she needs to understand being "kind" to fucking terrible people only serves to create room for them to continue to be horrible or get worse. At least the irredeemable fuckwits like Rowling and nazis and other such people who believe being a hateful pile of wasted oxygen is somehow good.
"Always be friendly and kind to people who want you suffering"
Yeah, no.
Great! A formidable enemy for Rowling. What a shame I didn't read the article first. It's hardly surprising the trans community has reacted with fury, Miriam, as people are trying to erase them.
Miriam Margolyes continues to be an amazing human being.
