Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan criticized J.K. Rowling's stance on trans rights, following a UK Supreme Court ruling defining woman based on biological sex. Coughlan shared an article titled ‘A New Low for JK Rowling’ on Instagram and vowed to boycott HBO's new Harry Potter series. This follows similar statements of support for transgender rights from other Harry Potter actors, including Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, prompting a dismissive response from Rowling.
