Authoritarian government may make an example out of the author after new hate crime laws went into effect Monday
According to a Scottish Parliament member, police could arrest “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling over an X thread she posted in protest of a recently-passed hate speech law.
Scottish Parliament member Siobhian Brown commented on the social media posts, telling the Telegraph, “It could be reported and it could be investigated. Whether or not the police would think it was criminal is up to Police Scotland for that.”
Slamming the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Rowling began her lengthy post by sharing screenshots of biological men posing as “women.”
Some of the individuals Rowling singled out were reportedly transgender sexual predators.
Scottish woman and butcher Amy George abducted an 11-year-old girl while dressed in female clothing. No idea why this was mentioned in court – of course she was wearing women’s clothing, she’s a woman! Amy took the girl home and sexually abused her over a 27-hour period. 5/11 pic.twitter.com/xy3DmnqZrc

After posting about a few alleged sex offenders, Rowling added a transgender athlete to the list, writing, “But most women aren’t axe-toters or sex offenders, so let’s talk role models! Guilia Valentino (in red) wanted to play on the women’s team ‘because of sisterhood, validation and political visibility’. Naturally, she was given some boring cis girl’s place. Yay for inclusion!”
Rowling went on to call out a pair of United Nations appointees who are biological men living as “women.”
News broadcaster India Willoughby was the last trans person Rowling called out in the thread, pointing out he still gets airtime despite a checkered and controversial past.
Last, but least, TV’s India Willoughby proves we women can call a black broadcaster a ‘nasty bitch’ who ‘wouldn’t be anywhere without woke’, dub lesbians men, insult the looks of a female Olympic swimmer, ‘joke’ about kidnapping feminists, and STILL get airtime! What a gal! 10/11 pic.twitter.com/gShqbEvO5s

Willoughby responded by calling everyone in the thread a sex offender and crying out Rowling had committed a “#HateCrime.”
Wow. @IndiaWilloughby calling everyone on the list a sex offender, excluding only himself, was the twist I didn’t see coming. pic.twitter.com/eAydeaEFXl

Concluding her message, Rowling wrote, “April Fools! Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren’t women at all, but men, every last one of them.”
“In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls,” she continued.
The novelist-turned activist suggested the trans community will use the law as a shield against biological women who are speaking out against issues such as male-on-female crimes being labeled female crimes, males competing in female sports and other trans-related topics.
“The re-definition of ‘woman’ to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women’s and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors,” she wrote.
Rowling declared, “It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.”
Ending her spunky rant, Rowling dared police to arrest her under the new “hate speech” law, writing, “I’m currently out of the country, but if what I’ve written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.”

Will the Scottish government make Rowling a martyr by charging her with a crime or allow her to continue rallying support by defying the ridiculous new “law”?
