Oxfam deletes 'TERF' cartoon over JK Rowling fury as charity denies character was based on author

Oxfam bosses have released a statement denying a woman depicted in a cartoon promoting Pride Month was based on JK Rowling.

The humanitarian charity posted a video on social media which included an image of a woman with red hair wearing a badge saying 'TERF' - a term which stands for 'trans-exclusionary radical feminist'.

The term is seen as derogatory to some, and is commonly used to describe women who are 'gender critical' in relation to transgender people accessing single sex spaces and services.
