The Harry Potter author spoke out about being accused of transphobia and insisted she never intended to hurt anyone with her 'misunderstood' comments.
The Harry Potter author, 57, has been accused of transphobia for a series of comments but has now insisted she isn't bothered that her legacy will be tarnished because anyone who cares about their legacy is"pompous" in her eyes.
The writer took issue with an online article’s mention of “people who menstruate” by tweeting: “‘People who menstruate’. I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” Rowling was criticised by transgender campaigners for wearing a T-shirt bearing the “destroyer” message and posted a picture of herself wearing the top online.
The introduction of Sirona Ryan, a barkeep at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, came amid the Rowling transgender row. "He was cordial enough, but we weren't friends then. His mistrust of wizardkind ran deep... Hadn't seen him in years when he came in a few months ago. But, he recognised me instantly. Which is more than I can say for some of my own classmates. Took them a second to realise I was actually a witch, not a wizard."
