Rowling was called a “transphobic bigot” on The Last Word with Matt Cooper months after the Harry Potter author was criticised for calling out an article’s use of the phrase “people who menstruate”.
A broadcasting regulator has ruled it is “not fair” to call JK Rowling a “transphobic bigot”.
However, bosses at Today FM have defended the segment, calling it a “lively miscellany in which opinions are encouraged”.
According to RTE, the complainant said there was no “evidence” to “back up” the claim that Rowling was being “transphobic”.
