The tweet immediately went viral on social media. People are calling Rowling슬롯사이트s comment 슬롯사이트anti-trans슬롯사이트� and 슬롯사이트transphobic슬롯사이트� as they pointed out that transgender people, non-binary people and gender-nonconforming people can also menstruate. In the follow-up tweets, Rowling criticised the idea that someone슬롯사이트s biological sense is not real. She hinted that trans people are 슬롯사이트erasing the concept of sex슬롯사이트� attempting to justify her stance by using it to support 슬롯사이트same-sex attraction.슬롯사이트�
Here's the Tweet:
If sex isn슬롯사이트t real, there슬롯사이트s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn슬롯사이트t 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 isn슬롯사이트t hate to speak the truth.

Another Tweet by Rowling!
The idea that women like me, who슬롯사이트ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they슬롯사이트re vulnerable in the same way as women - ie, to male violence - 슬롯사이트hate슬롯사이트� trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences - is a nonsense.

Her tweets seemingly ignore the difference between gender and sex, a difference that is backed by science and the existence of intersex individuals, who are born with reproductive or sexual anatomy, but does not fit the typical definitions of the female and male sex. Rowling added that she respects trans people슬롯사이트s right to live comfortably, but struck out at people calling her a TERF슬롯사이트Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist.

Here's the Tweet:
JK Rowling continues to align herself with an ideology which willfully distorts facts about gender identity and people who are trans. In 2020, there is no excuse for targeting trans people.

Her series of tweets have come amid the June Pride Month 2020 celebration, which is significantly celebrated in the United States and by LGBTQ+ community across the world. This is not the first time that Rowling has drawn criticism on social media on her opinions on gender and sex. According to reports, last year in December, she faced backlash while supporting author, Maya Forstater, who was fired from a think tank for saying that men could not change into women.
