A lesbian is a non-man attracted to a non-man, awakened American university declares to outrage JK Rowling
- Guide states that “lesbian” should include both women and non-binary people
- It therefore refers to lesbians as “a non-man who is attracted to non-men”
JK Rowling has slammed an American university for saying that a lesbian is “a non-man who is attracted to non-men.”
The 57-year-old Harry Potter writer scorned the American medical school because of the new definition in her LGBTQ guide.
The guide states that “lesbian” should include not only women, but also non-binary people, according to a report by The sun.
It therefore refers to lesbians as “a non-man who is attracted to non-men.”
Ms Rowling took to Twitter to criticize Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, writing, “Man: no definition needed. Non-male (formerly known as female): a being that can only be defined by reference to the masculine.’

She added: “An absence, a vacuum where there is no masculinity.”
The author’s tweet comes after the charity Oxfam was told to apologize and remove part of their Pride Month advert after a video was released apparently depicting Ms Rowling as a red-eyed villain.
The government watchdog is said to be assessing concerns surrounding the charity and is considering the next step after the row that has engulfed it since the video was shared on its social media accounts.

The video featured three evil-eyed figures: two men and a woman wearing a “TERF” ([trans-exclusionary radical feminists) badge who appeared to look like the Harry Potter author.
The charity insisted any likeness is coincidental and it quickly removed the footage from its social media – but campaigners say people with gender-critical views like Ms Rowling’s could be marginalised at the organisation.
It came as one former employee claimed they were forced out of Oxfam over her support for the author and arguing its bookshops should continue to stock her published works.
