The Harry Potter author warned that giving Anneliese Dodds the job adds to the confusion in the clash between women's rights and the demands of trans extremists.

Ms Dodds was left floundering in an interview on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour in 2022 when she was asked to give Labour's definition of a female.

She claimed there were "different definitions legally around what a woman actually is" and, when pressed again, replied: "I think it does depend what the context is."
