Rowling has conflicting views with Pascal, who has a transgender sibling.
The Harry Potter author recently supported the Supreme Court ruling that protected women-only spaces.
“I love it when a plan comes together,” she posted alongside a picture of her smoking a cigar on a boat.
Pascal responded by calling Rowling’s reaction “awful” and “disgusting.”
“I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist,” he responded in a separate post.
In a recent Vanity Fair interview, he continued his tirade against Rowling while defending his strong response.
“The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, ‘Am I helping? Am I f***ing helping?’” Pascal said.
“It’s a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected.
“Listen, I want to protect the people I love.
“But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f***ing sick.”
Rowling quickly fired off a response at Pascal.
“Can’t say I feel very shut down, but keep at it, Pedro,” she said.
“God loves a trier.”

“I hate that the Democrats totally failed women and girls on this very clear issue of women’s sports being for females only,” she posted in April.
Navratilova joined Rowling in posting against Pascal.
“Another Johnny come lately telling women to STFU,” she posted.
Navratilova is a tennis legend, winning 18 major titles in her career.
