First of all, never give oxygen to hostile ambush questions that include this framing: 'given Rowling's ongoing campaign against trans people.'
Why? Simple. Because even a gentle answer will only enrages the perpetually enraged crowd even more. So even with this reply, 'we all have got to learn how to live together,' it only led to hate and hysteria.
Hold up!! What did Kiera Knightly do? Clearly she’s supporting JK on something…no way it’s the trans issue, right? pic.twitter.com/EAVkozxFCp

Let's review the tape itself, shall we?

One could argue that Knightley's wishy-washy response was generic celebrity fluff, and one would be right. But it seems that you either burn the witch that is J. K. Rowling or you are the enemy.
The right has learned from Trump, Libs of TikTok and Florida Social Media Legend, Christina Pushaw, that you just don't engage with a hostile press. Bonus points if you expose them as the awful journalists they are.
I don't see how this is anti-trans? If anything she suggested people learn to live with the fact that everyone has opinions. She didn't commit one way or the other really, but the fact that she called for tolerance seems more or a liberal thing to do.

That's the thing. Rowling isn't anti-Trans. She's drawn a line in the sand that women deserve and need women-only spaces and the Trantifa activists cannot accept that.

If you look closely, you can see Knightley's annoyance at the question. But unlike an out-an-out conservative, you have to play nice. So her 'embrace kindness' answer was understandably the best answer she could give, to be fair to her.
Now I officially love Keira Knightley.

Nice, but we still won't be watching 'Pirates of the Caribbean' again anytime soon.
Keira Knightley's name is still trending as the Be Kind people lambast her and wish she was dead because she laughed and said we should all get along...

I don't know how many people know this, but Keira has been a feminist for a long time and has spoken out about women's issues. It doesn't surprise me that she doesn't care about mentally ill men trying to claim womanhood. https://t.co/3x6viNkjiJ

Maybe Ms. Knightley actually agrees with Rowling. Who knows? She is entitled to her opinions and honestly, it's nobody's business. Even ours.
