In recent discussions surrounding the Edinburgh play “Turf,” certain voices online have been notably enraged. The play, named after the acronym “TERF” (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist), often used pejoratively in gender debates, imagines a scenario where the stars of the Harry Potter film franchise intervene on behalf of author J.K.
Rowling regarding her gender-critical beliefs. The controversy surrounding the play has led to death threats, with some targeting the author’s family members on social media.
Due to the intense controversy, the show has already had to relocate its venues, and producers have even planned for potential protests, with extra security measures in place to ensure the cast’s safety. Despite the concerns, Bailey feels reassured by the support around them and is not overly worried about the situation.
Rowling herself has stated that her interest in trans issues stems from her experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual assault, which inform her concerns about single-sex spaces. Her views on gender identity have, however, drawn significant criticism, with some calling for a boycott of the Harry Potter franchise.
The play’s script was forwarded to Rowling’s team, and she has been invited to attend the show. Bailey, while not particularly eager to meet Rowling, believes that the author might appreciate the play’s humor and dry wit based on her interviews. While they have yet to receive a response from Rowling, her residence in Edinburgh leaves the possibility open that she might attend out of curiosity.
As the situation unfolds, the media continues to cover the story, with Sky News providing updates on the ongoing developments.
