Eddie Redmayne is the latest actor associated with films inspired by J.K. Rowling to condemn the author’s comments on transgender people, Variety reports.

Redmayne, who starred in the 2016 movie Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, based on a book by Rowling, said in a statement that he disagreed with Rowling’s recent tweets suggesting that transgender people and those who support them believe that “sex isn’t real.”

“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,” Redmayne said. “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.”

Redmayne’s statement follows an open letter from Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter in the blockbuster film franchise, in which he affirmed his support for the transgender community and criticized Rowling’s statements.

Redmayne himself has been criticized by transgender people for his role in the 2015 film The Danish Girl. Redmayne, a cisgender man, played a transgender woman; many argued that the role should have gone to a trans actress.

Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, also spoke out Wednesday, tweeting, “Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.”
