Rowling, 54, said women menstruated, prompting some people to respond that being a woman should not be defined by having periods.
The Harry Potter author’s initial remarks prompted criticism and some abuse, though she has refused to back down.
“‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?’” Rowling said on June 6 in response to an article about creating a more equal world for people who menstruate.
