entertainment">Rowling has previously come under fire for allegedly hurtful statements about transgender people. On social media, she criticized an article that featured the description ‘people who menstruate’. She joked that there was a word for that after all, referring to women. Critics blamed her for that because transgender men can also menstruate.
