Rowling‘s transphobic remarks.. “The transphobic comments in Dave Chappelle’s latest Netflix special are absolutely abhorrent,” tweeted podcast host Chris Evans. want me dead,” Chappelle addressed Rowling’s transphobic comments, which have prompted statements of love and support to the trans community from “Harry Potter” actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Katie Leung, Bonnie Wright and Eddie Redmayne.
