“As someone who has worked with both J.K. Rowling and members of the trans community, I wanted to make it absolutely clear where I stand,” he said in a statement Wednesday to Variety. “I disagree with Jo’s comments. Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary identities are valid. I would never want to speak on behalf of the community but I do know that my dear transgender friends and colleagues are tired of this constant questioning of their identities, which all too often results in violence and abuse.

“They simply want to live their lives peacefully, and it’s time to let them do so.”

Redmayne, who portrayed a transgender woman in 2015’s “The Danish Girl,” added he’s “constantly” trying to learn more about the trans community.

“Respect for transgender people remains a cultural imperative, and over the years I have been trying to constantly educate myself,” Redmayne, 38, continued. “This is an ongoing process.”

Over the weekend, the famed British author faced major backlash after she tweeted that biological sex can’t be changed. She later doubled down on her comments when she tweeted a link to a Devex opinion article headlined “Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.”

“‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” she wrote in the tweet.

Earlier this week, “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe responded to Rowling’s comments in an essay for The Trevor Project, writing “transgender women are women” and apologized for any pain “Harry Potter” fans felt upon reading Rowling’s comments.
