The “Harry Potter” author slammed a newly enacted hate-crime law in Scotland in a series of posts on X in which she referred to transgender women as men.
J.K. Rowling shared a social media thread on Monday, the day a new Scottish hate-crime law took effect, that misgendered several transgender women and appeared to imply trans women have a penchant for sexual predation. On Tuesday, Scottish police announced they would not be investigating the “Harry Potter” author’s remarks as a crime, as some of Rowling’s critics had called for.
“We have received complaints in relation to the social media post,” a spokesperson for Police Scotland said in a statement. “The comments are not assessed to be criminal and no further action will be taken.”
Scotland’s new Hate Crime and Public Order Act criminalizes “stirring up hatred” against people based on their race, religion, disability, sexuality or gender identity.
But will she continue bitching about it like Jordan Peterson still does about the law in Canada that he didn’t get arrested for supposedly violating?
She did send Harry Potter into the ladies toilet though 🤔
She also said she created Harry because she wanted to be a boy.
If She is not against transgender men. Then she may want everyone to be a boy.

“I was supposed to be a boy,” she notes in A Year in the Life, a 2007 documentary
Oh my goodness, that’s a tragic tale that explains so much. Back story really does make a difference in perspective, but she’s still a massive anal fissure of a person for alienating others and perpetuating the suffering she was passed.
Yeah if the most dramatic interpretation of all that is true, and I’m not saying it is, it’s not an excuse. A lot of the worst things done at anti gay conversion groups are done by people who objectively experience significant same gender attraction. That doesn’t absolve the straight people who taught them to hate themselves but their self hate manifests as torturing those who don’t hate themselves. It’s still evil to torture them no matter why you do it.
Oh, it’s the trans version of being gay is a choice i guess…
Would explain a lot, because to most transppl the thought of someone wanting to be what they were assigned at birth makes no sense whatsoever. But regardless it’s not hard to accept that others might feel like you do but in reverse. Shows one hell of a lack of empathy to then conclude that must mean anyone claiming they do want to must have ulterior motives.
Maybe that at least means there’s hope for her to realize what kind of bs she’s spouting, but she’s probably a lost cause.
It’s sad watching you people twist your brains into knots to avoid realizing that some people don’t agree with you.
A law is a strong as its enforcement. Without enforcement, it’s just political posturing.
What makes laws strong is precedent and this law doesn’t have any. Her case is too flimsy and we don’t want her to set precedent since she has infinite lawyers to defend her. Its better to get more solid cases first and then go after her when there is solid precedent.
It’s better not to persecute people just because you disagree with them.
It’s sad how you people are literally pushing for a world where someone can get arrested for not calling a trans woman a woman.
You’re going to make way more enemies than friends with that rhetoric, trust me.
Hello baby account that was created in order to comment on this thread but is also asking me to trust you.
The bill does not say that people will be arrested for “Not calling trans women women”. it’s the fucking Jordan Peterson thing again. You need to make clear threats towards the group and calling for the group to be abused to the same standard required by individual harassment charges.
Hilarious that this wretched lump of hate is being a crybully about how she’s supposedly putting herself in legal danger, even though she sends legal threats to people in the UK who call her a TERF. And I do mean people posting shit on Twitter, not newspapers publishing stories about her. “Free speech” (the right to incite hatred against minorities) for me but not for thee.
She sends legal threats to people who write books about child wizards going to wizard school.
She wants to invent news laws to push on others and make herself a martyr against one that already exists.
Does she think there weren’t wizard school books until she had the idea of one???
Why would she object to being a TERF? Isn’t she pretty open about her beliefs?
TERFs love to play this game where TERF is actually a misogynistic slur, even when it completely accurately describes their bigotry. It reframes them as victims of misogyny instead of bigots.
Do they pretend that they don’t hate trans women? Is this like the “I’m not racist, but…” people?
The laws don’t apply to rich people
Notice how they said
Not assessed to be criminal
And not
Assesed to be not criminal
Scottish Cops are still Cops I guess
