In October 2022, Norton was involved in controversy over comments he made in an interview with [[Mariella Frostrup]] at the [[Cheltenham Literature Festival]]. He expressed scepticism over the existence of [[cancel culture]], arguing that "I think the word should be 'accountability'." When Frostrup countered that [[J. K. Rowling]] had been "deluged with{{nbsp}}... anger, rage and attempts at censorship" over [[Political views of J. K. Rowling#Transgender people|her views on transgender rights]], Norton responded that it would be better to "talk to trans people, talk to the parents of trans kids, talk to doctors" about the issue than to celebrities like himself. Rowling criticised Norton's comments on Twitter, citing him as part of a "recent spate of bearded men stepping confidently onto their soapboxes to define what a woman is and throw their support behind rape and death threats to those who dare disagree". Following further criticism on Twitter from supporters of Rowling, Norton deactivated his Twitter account.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wakefield |first1=Lily |date=17 October 2022 |title=Graham Norton 'hounded off Twitter' for suggesting we listen to trans people |url=https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2022/10/17/graham-norton-twitter-trans-rights-jk-rowling/ |website=PinkNews}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=17 October 2022 |title=Graham Norton Exits Twitter Soon After On-Stage Discussion About Trans Rights |url=https://deadline.com/2022/10/graham-norton-exits-twitter-after-backlash-from-j-k-rowling-over-trans-rights-1235146836/}}</ref>
