“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling dared Scottish police to arrest her for calling a “man a man” after Scotland’s hate crime laws came into force on Monday.
according to Scottish Parliament websiteThe “Hate Crime and Policing Bill” adds “new offenses of inciting hatred against protected groups covered by the bill,” one of which is “transgender identity.”
Shortly before being sentenced for various crimes, Rowling began a lengthy social media post listing several biological male criminals who had claimed to be transgender. The crimes include sexual assault of a 10-year-old, possession of 16,000 illegal images of children, and rape.
After shining a positive light on 10 different “women” who aren’t all criminals, Rowling revealed that her fake enthusiasm was an April Fool’s joke, saying, “I’m just kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the tweet above are not women at all, but men,” right down to that last one. ”

“In passing the Scottish Hate Crimes Act, Scottish MPs have put the feelings of men who practice notions of femininity, however misogynistic and opportunistic, above the actual rights and freedoms of women and girls. “It seems like you put a lot of emphasis on it,” she wrote.
She continued: “In recent years, women in Scotland have been challenged by the government and police to deny the evidence they see and hear, to deny biological facts, and to embrace neo-religious gender concepts that cannot be proven or tested. Redefining ‘woman’ to include all men who declare themselves to be women has already had serious implications for the rights and safety of women and girls in Scotland. , which continues to have the strongest impact on the most vulnerable, including female prisoners. And rape victims. ”
“Unless we are allowed to refer to men as men, we cannot accurately portray or address the reality of violence and sexual violence against women and girls, or address current attacks on the rights of women and girls. “It’s impossible. Freedom of speech and religion is over in Scotland if accurate descriptions of biological sex are criminalized,” Rowling added.
