The actress spoke about transphobia and revealed that her daughter has received death threats
The actress Jamie Lee Curtis spoke about violence against transgender people in a revealing interview with Spanish radio network Cadena SER. The 63-year-old actress explained how her transgender daughter has received death threats and expressed concern about the “frightening rise in transphobia”.
“I have a transgender daughter. There are threats against her life just because she exists!” she stated. “There are people who want to exterminate her and people like her. The level of hatred… It’s as if we haven’t learned anything from fascism, as if we haven’t learned that its result is the extermination of people. This is scary.”
