Author JK Rowling criticizes John Hopkins University for its definition of a lesbian
JK Rowling, the British author, has condemned a university in America for defining a lesbian as ‘a non-man attracted to non-men’.
The 57-year-old Harry Potter writer criticized the US medical school for the new definition in its LGBTQ guide.
According to a report by The Sun, the guide states that ‘lesbian’ should not just include women but also non-binary people.
As a result, it refers to lesbians as ‘a non-man attracted to non-men’.
Rowling took to Twitter to criticize John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, stating: ‘Man: no definition needed. Non-man (formerly known as woman): a being definable only by reference to the male.’
She added: ‘An absence, a vacuum where there’s no man-ness.’
The author’s tweet comes after the charity Oxfam was asked to apologize and delete a section of their Pride Month advert for apparently portraying Rowling as a villain with red eyes.
