Scotland’s Hate Crime Act took effect this Monday, and JK Rowling responding by daring Scottish police to arrest her for criticism of transgender ideology under the new bill.
After Scotland’s Hate Crime Act took effect Monday, 'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling, dared Scottish police to arrest her for calling 'a man a man.' According to the Scottish Parliment’s website, the 'Hate Crime and Public Order Bill' adds 'a new crime of stirring up hatred against any of the protected groups covered by the Bill,' one of which is 'transgender identity.
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.
