JK Rowling in ‘arrest me’ challenge over Scottish hate crime law
The Harry Potter author described several transgender women as men in a series of social media posts.
JK Rowling has challenged Scotland's new hate crime law in a series of social media posts - inviting police to arrest her if they believe she has committed an offence.
The Harry Potter author, who lives in Edinburgh, described several transgender women as men, including convicted prisoners, trans activists and other public figures.
She said "freedom of speech and belief" was at an end if accurate description of biological sex was outlawed.
Earlier, Scotland's first minister Humza Yousaf said the new law would deal with a "rising tide of hatred".
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 creates a new crime of "stirring up hatred" relating to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex.

Ms Rowling, who has long been a critic of some trans activism, posted on X on the day the new legislation came into force.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Don't hurt your legs backpedalling so fast.
Another lie. I did no backpedaling. So we'll call that four lies.
Distraction and derailing. Claiming that I'm lying in order to avoid dealing with your logically fallacious argument.
Nope, I'm claiming that you're lying because you're lying. You lied twice about me calling you a Nazi, which I never did, once by claiming that a fellow traveler and a Nazi are the same thing, which they are not, and once because you claimed I backpedaled, which you did not do.
Furthermore, it is not a fallacy that there is an ongoing transgender genocide just because you arrogantly refuse to believe it.
Time for you to go back to school. Your style of argument is full of hyperbole, ad hominem attacks, slippery slope assumptions, hair splitting, and straw men.
But keep going.
Your claims do not change your lies or your genocide denial.
And repeatedly saying "but keep going" achieves absolutely nothing other than making you look like a very silly person.
