Daniel Radcliffe honored Transgender Day of Visibility on Friday by reaffirming his longtime support for the LGBTQ+ community.

The Harry Potter actor recently joined a group of six young transgender and nonbinary people to facilitate a heartfelt discussion about LGBTQ+ rights and allyship. Footage of the chat was released by the Trevor Project this week as the premiere episode of its Sharing Space video series.

Describing the experience as an absolute privilege, Radcliffe said in a statement, We listen to so many people talk about trans youth and hear them talked about so often in the news, but very rarely do we actually hear from these youth directly.

He added, At the end of the day if youre going to talk about trans kids, it might be useful to actually listen to trans kids.
