What Is A Non-Man?
In an effort to include non-binary people in its definition of a lesbian, the US based John Hopkins University School of Medicine now declares a lesbian to be a non-man and someone who is attracted to non-men.
J K Rowling took to Twitter to criticise the university saying, 'Man: no definition needed. Non-man (formerly known as woman): a being definable only by reference to the male.'
What do you make of this - and what, I wonder, do lesbians make of it?

Total denigration of women, I am not defined by being a not anything, and most definitely not a not man. True feminists must be turning in their graves after all their work to raise the status and roles of women in society. A backlash is long overdue

Am I correct in understanding that the term 'non-man' refers to lesbians...and yet there is no equivalent ridiculous term for gay men?
Many of the comments in the DM seem to be taking this as referring to ALL women. I guess that's next. I mean...if we are biologically not male, then we must be non-men. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it. Well...doesn't it???
Fed up...fed up...fed up!

From the university:
"The LGBTQ Glossary serves as an introduction to the range of identities and terms that are used within LGBTQ communities, and is not intended to serve as the definitive answers as to how all people understand or use these terms," Megan Christin, the university's director of strategic communications, said in a statement Wednesday. "While the glossary is a resource posted on the website of the Johns Hopkins University Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), the definitions were not reviewed or approved by ODI leadership and the language in question has been removed pending review."
Christin did not respond to questions regarding when the online glossary was first uploaded.
Screenshots of the glossary sparked an online firestorm in recent days, with many women, including some lesbians, calling the definition "misogynistic" and noting that the definition for "gay man" did not use similar language, such as "non-women."
"Lesbian was literally the only word in English language that is not tied to man- as in male- feMALE, man- woMAN," tennis star Martina Navratilova, who is a lesbian, tweeted Monday. "And now lesbians are non men?!? What The Funicular?!?"

What is a Woman? Interesting article I found when looking for a definition...it makes a lot of sense. It's only after reading that I noticed it's from a Christian organization...but I'll post anyway.
