Pedro Pascal has no regrets for calling out Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling for her “heinous loser behavior,” he told Variety Tuesday, because, as he put it, “Bullies make me f---ing sick.” Pascal tore into Rowling for her anti-trans views in April, after she celebrated the passage of a Supreme Court’s ruling defining “men” and “women” by their biological sex only, and making it legal for businesses to exclude trans women from anywhere designated as a single-sex space. Rowling bankrolled the lobbyist group that pushed for the move and gloated with the X post, “I love it when a plan comes together.” Pascal agreed with an Instagram user that Rowling’s actions were “awful disgusting s--t,” and added that it was “heinous loser behavior,” for good measure. “The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, ‘Am I helping? Am I f---ing helping?’” Pascal, whose younger sister Lux is a trans woman, added. “It’s a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen and people will actually be protected,” he explained to Variety. “Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that.”
