YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Emily Jashinsky follows up on J.K. Rowling’s response to Emma Watson saying she’s “holding space” for Rowling following their disagreement on gender identity. Rowling responded sharply, accusing Watson of class privilege, and revealed that Watson privately offered sympathy while publicly fueling backlash. Emily notes Rowling’s response is justified and "eloquent” but says her instinct is still to celebrate a moment when we see public pressures catching up with celebrities who are inching towards a better position.
