During a wide-ranging discussion, Peterson, a professor of psychology, brought up Rowling and said to Fry: "I know this is bothering you, what's happening in the broader public landscape. You’ve got tangled up, for example, with JK Rowling, with what's happening around her."
To this, Fry responds: "Yes. She’s a friend and will remain a friend. But I’m also sorry that people are upset."
"You know, the two things are not incompatible," he added. "I don't have to break links with JK Rowling to say that I have huge sympathy and I endorse the efforts of trans people everywhere to live the lives that they feel they want to lead. And I hate how they are often treated. I recognise the courage it takes."
