JK Rowling, a British author, has slammed an American institution for referring to a lesbian as “a non-man attracted to non-men.”
The 57-year-old Harry Potter author chastised the US medical school for using the new concept in its LGBTQ guide.
According to The Sun, the handbook specifies that ‘lesbian’ should not only encompass women but also non-binary people.
As a result, lesbians are referred to as ‘a non-man attracted to non-men’.
Ms. Rowling took to Twitter to attack John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, stating, ‘Man: no definition required. Non-man (previously known as woman): a being that can only be defined by relation to the male.’
‘An absence, a vacuum where there’s no man-ness,’ she added.
The author’s tweet comes after Oxfam was ordered to apologize and erase a piece of its Pride Month advertisement after it released a film depicting Ms. Rowling as a villain with red eyes.
