Pedro Pascal, 2 months after calling out J.K. Rowling for her anti-trans views, calling it "disgusting behavior.".
From People.com:
“The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, 'Am I helping? Am I f------helping?' It's a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected," he said.
"Listen, I want to protect the people I love," continued Pascal. "But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f------sick.”
Pascal's other sister, Javiera Balmaceda Pascal, also defended him, telling the publication that Rowling's actions were "heinous loser behavior."
"And he said that as the older brother to someone saying that our little sister doesn’t exist," she added.
Pascal previously also showed his support for transgender women when he wore a white T-shirt emblazoned with "PROTECT THE DOLLS" to the U.K. premiere of Marvel's Thunderbolts* in London on Tuesday, April 22.

"Dolls" is an affectionate term coined by the LGBTQ+ community to refer to transgender women. The shirt is part of a campaign by American designer Conner Ives, bringing attention to anti-transgender sentiment.
It seems the bitter hatred between the two has not decreased with time. Martina Navratilova has also railed against Pascal, calling him a 'Johnny come lately telling women to STFU'.
Who is right in this situation?
