In light of J.K. Rowling's comments on transgender women, Shannen shares some thoughts on behalf of SpeakBeasty, including reasons why the concept of sex is more complex than a binary and why Rowling's comments are wrong and ill-informed.

"If you're saying that your feminist movement only includes women, then you're not making any movement." 

"Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts will always have magic for those who need it."
