has come under fire for writing 'anti-trans' tweets and in particular for asserting that women are defined by the ability to menstruate. Rowling was responding to an article, which she retweeted, titled “Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.”
"'People who menstruate.’" Rowling wrote in reply. "I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?""If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction," she wrote."If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.
Rowling's statements have attracted criticism from a number of high profile LGBTQ celebrities, including Jameela Jamil and Jonathan Van Ness. "Hey JK as you claim to support trans rights and this is a historical moment where we are globally discussing the impact of white supremacy on Black People, please share some of your $650million mega wealth with this charity," wrote
