JK Rowling sadly has a history of transphobic remarks and the whole menstruation thing, while factual, is meant to demean trans women. She's embraced the TERF school of thought sadly.

I think the abuse she's suffered is awful but her timing with going public with her history demeans what she's gone through because it inevitably sounds like she's just talking about it to derail the whole controversy, I don't like saying it but you're going to get people who will say that she's using her past for sympathy which undermines her struggles and other people's struggles with the same issues. It's her story and she decides when to tell it but unfortunately, she probably chose the worst time she could to tell it.
