But following the announcement, he received a text from "a very good friend who is the mother of a trans child," linking him to a Book Riot op-ed entitled, An Open Letter to John Lithgow: Please Walk Away from Harry Potter.
As for whether the criticism has soured the role for him, Lithgow replied, “Oh, heavens no.”
Oh fuck off. Shame, I really liked 3rd Rock from the Sun.

Me too! Even though I was a deeply closeted and repressing trans girl in the 90s, I sooo appreciated Sally’s experience of going from living as an alien to living as a woman and discovering womanhood, living together with others who knew her background. It’s even more relatable now that I’ve done it myself.
