‘#ArrestMe’: JK Rowling's ‘transphobic’ tirade won't quiet down even in the face of Scotland's new hate crime law

Hindustan Times  

JK Rowling's X is an official logbook of her controversial ‘transphobic’ rants. Slamming the recently introduced new anti-hate crime law in Scotland, she “looked forward to being arrested” if all claims in her verbose address were classified as an offence. Effectively coming into force on Monday, April 1, the Hate Crime and Public Order Act criminalised “stirred up hate” on the basis of age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, being intersex or one's transgender identity. Countering all that Scotland's new anti-hate crime law stands for, she openly misgendered several people and challenged Scottish authorities to arrest her. Her latest tweet denounces the law for having “placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness.” She also wrote, “Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.” Claiming that she was currently out of the country, she raised the case to the authorities, daring them to arrest her if all she mentioned in her tweet “qualified as an offence under the terms of the new act.” In a similarly vocal tweet from October, she claimed that she would “happily do two years" in prison for misgendering a trans person.
