Ms Rowling came under fire on Twitter for re-tweeting and commenting on an article which read “1.8 billion girls, women and gender non-binary persons menstruate”.
She said “People who menstruate? “I'm sure there's a word for those people, Someone help me out. Womben? Wimpund? Woomud?”.
Instead of people accepting a point about “mangled language” in the original article, Ms Rowling was “decried as being anti-trans; discriminating and demeaning transgender people,” Mr Kenny said.
“The hatred and the pile-on was quick and fierce, people denouncing her books, abusing her, this is how this stuff goes, as you know.”
