Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has continued the debate surrounding recent comments by singer Macy Gray regarding trans women, slamming men who she said are "policing" women's speech.Last week, Gray made controversial comments regarding the definition of a woman, something which Rowling has also been accused of in the past.

During an interview with Piers Morgan, Gray said, "And I will say this, and everybody's gonna hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts doesn't make you a woman.

Sorry."Gray apologized for her comments during an appearance on NBC's Today Show. ""I said some things that didn't go over well, but my intention was never to hurt anybody.

She continued, "If you don't yet understand what happens to women who stand up on this issue, back off."Endless death and rape threats, threats of loss of livelihood, employers targeted, physical harassment, family address posted online with picture of bomb-making manual aren't 'mean comments'.
