JK Rowling hits out at new women's minister who can't explain what a woman is
Daily Express
|July 09, 2024
JK ROWLING lashed out yesterday after Sir Keir Starmer appointed a women's minister who previously was unable to explain what a woman was.
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."
