The left-wing fight to stop people refuting woke orthodoxy with truth is nowhere more intense now than in Scotland, of all places.
Those seeking to suppress facts have been driven into retreat because the army of truth has acquired the most powerful conceivable champion in this battle over the freedom to say certain things. Their leader now isFor years, Rowling has resisted the morally, psychologically, and physically destructive fad of treating gender as a personal choice rather than a fact of biology.
Don’t believe this pretense. Remember the Left’s cry that both words and silence are violence. As soon as Scotland’s law went into effect, trans lobbyists complained of Rowling’s words and publicly discussed their hope for prosecution. It has been abundantly, even redundantly, obvious for years that seemingly reasonable and supposedly innocuous legal language can and will be used to intimidate and bludgeon people who express unapproved political, cultural, or moral opinions.
But the truth will still be there no matter how many lies are told and laws are passed to conceal it. It is good to have Rowling’s powerful voice raised defiantly on what, to borrow a phrase, might be called the right side of history.
