Dame Maureen Lipman has waded into the trans debate by urging detractors to stop “kicking a**” at writer JK Rowling.
The Harry Potter author faced a furious online backlash by objecting to the phrase “people who menstruate” being used instead of “women”.
She said the phrase, intended to make clear trans women were included in the word “women”, erased “the lived reality of women globally”.
