JK Rowling has come under fire for making 'anti-trans comments' on Twitter
A third added:"I know you know this because you have been told over and over and over again, but transgender men can menstruate. Non-binary people menstruate. I, a 37-year old woman with a uterus, have not menstruated in a decade. Women are not defined by their periods."She tweeted:"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.
One person replied:"As a physician, I want people to know that sex exists on a bimodal biological spectrum just like gender exists on a bimodal sociological spectrum. While most identify as either female or male, there are intersex and trans individuals whose identities are just as valid and real." Following Rowling's comments, actress Jameela Jamil tweeted:"To JK Rowling": verb: To go out of your way to destroy your iconic legacy."
