Rowling is vocal about her views on biological sex

JK Rowling hit back at Tory commentator Albie Amankona after he posted a tweet about a transgender woman.

The Harry Potter author has been under fire this week after posting various comments about transgender women and encouraging the Scottish police to "arrest me" under new hate laws.

Rowling is vocal about her views on biological sex and protecting same sex areas. She has also been criticised for "deliberately" calling transwomen "him" when they identify as a woman.alking to X, Albie wrote: "Like most Brits I am sympathetic to JK Rowling’s views on biological sex & the need for single-sex provisions. But I suspect like me, most Brits would find calling a trans woman who looks like Munroe Bergdorf “him” to be obtuse & mean-spirited, though not a criminal offence."

The Harry Potter author clapped back at the presenter and penned: "So if trans-identified men are pretty enough (as judged by you, a man) women ought to agree they're women? Femaleness has no relation whatsoever to how well an individual - man or woman - performs femininity to male standards. This is the very definition of misogyny."
