Israeli pop star Dana International has defended Harry Potter author J K Rowling after she sparked a bitter row by stating that sex is determined by biology.
The author wrote last week written on Twitter: “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased.”
Following her tweet, Ms Rowling found herself under sustained attack from some in the LBGT+ community.
But the Eurovision Song Contest winner was quick to defend the author’s comments, saying:’ “Dear J.K. Rowling, I send you love and kisses from Israel.”
