JK Rowling has criticized two doctors for calling it “psychotic” and “disgusting” for disabled women to demand doctors for their intimate hygiene on Sunday.
Rowling chimed in on a Twitter debate about women’s care, in which a number of people claiming to be doctors argued that women’s rights activists were “psychotically addicted” to fighting gender ideology.
“Intimate touching without consent is sexual assault,” Rowling wrote. “A self-proclaimed doctor says it’s ‘psychotic’ for disabled women to assert women-only intimate hygiene rights.”
“I pray he’s not actually an MD, just a regular misogynist who’s here to troll but either way,” she added, followed by a series of red flag emojis.

However, many agreed with Rowling’s statement and said it was perfectly reasonable for women to prefer female doctors for some of their care needs.
“How can anyone have a problem with that?” A user replied to Rowling. “In my early adult life I worked in retirement homes. If certain old ladies just wanted women to shower them or help with post-restroom hygiene, all it’s like is, “Okay, ma’am, let me get one of the girls.”

Rowling has quickly emerged as one of the most prominent critics of gender ideology in popular culture, despite fierce backlash and even threats from the movement’s advocates.
The world-renowned author of the Harry Potter book series continues to use her platform of 14.5 million Twitter followers to argue that sex cannot be ignored.
Rowling has raised eyebrows for addressing the sensitive issue since before 2020, when she argued “it’s not hate telling the truth” about gender.
“If sex isn’t real, there is no same-sex attraction,” Rowling tweeted at the time. “If sex is not real, the lived reality of women around the world will be erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex robs many of them of the ability to meaningfully talk about their lives. It’s not hate to tell the truth.”
