    Host Rebel Wilson introduced Watson by saying: “She’s proud to call herself a feminist, but we all know she’s a witch.” Watson responded that she was “here for ALL of the witches”, which was widely interpreted as a statement of support for the trans community.

      But this does not make a difference.
