A trans-exclusionary radical feminist; a friend of Joanna (JK) Rowling: famous transphobe and bigot, formerly the author of the Harry Potter novels under an assumed male name.

The term is derived from the queer code/identifier "Friends of Dorothy". One (of many) particular references this identifier draws on is the following exchange in the novel 'Road To Oz' between Dorothy and Polychrome (the Rainbow's daughter): "You have some queer friends, Dorothy." "The queerness doesn't matter, so long as they're friends!" In Joanna's case, the reader might imagine her replying to the same prompt with "the queerness doesn't matter, as long as they're 'biological' women!"
I'm not saying she's literally a dementor, Ron, but I *am* saying she's a 'friend of Joanna'
