JK Rowling dares police to arrest her over SNP’s new hate crime law


Time to abolish Scotland, the UK should be the sole country!

The Harry Potter author, who lives in Edinburgh, wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.

“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.”

Rowling posted pictures of 10 high-profile trans people on Twitter and mocked their claims to be women. They included Isla Bryson, who was initially sent to a women’s prison after being convicted of two rapes.

Among the others she listed was Andrew Miller, 53, who also used the name Amy George. The trans butcher abducted a young girl in the Scottish Borders while dressed as a woman and abused her for 27 hours.

The author also mentioned Katie Dolatowski, a trans paedophile who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in the toilet of Morrisons in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in March 2018.

By passing the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, Rowling said MSPs had “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 said: “The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women’s and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.”

The minister was also challenged over the “odd” omission of women from the list of protected groups included in the legislation.

This means threats made against Rowling and other feminists critical of trans ideology could not be investigated under the Bill. Ms Brown admitted “more work needs to be done” and said a misogyny Bill would be introduced.

Someone convicted of stirring up hate could face a fine and a prison term of up to seven years.

The UK (United Kingdom) is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

If you got rid of Scotland (and they voted to stay) then there would still be 3 in the United Kingdom.
It cannot go solo.

You go, Jo!

Women are sexually assaulted by other CIS women in prison every day.

Maybe, but we don't have to make things worse by putting men among them.

We don't have to suddenly pretend that we are concerned with women prisoners being sexually assaulted in order to demonise trans people in general.

It's just a lazy argument. The one about gents and ladies toilets used to be up there with the womens prisons concerns until people pointed out that a sexual predator doesn't need to be admitted to, or sentenced to a woman's bathroom. They can walk right in. I don't think sex criminals are deterred by the idea that people don't think they should be in a certain bathroom. And they don't ask permission first.

“Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal."

No. The description of biological sex is not criminal. Isn't it funny how Rowling can't identify the part of the law that she claims makes it criminal act to describe biological sex? No it's not funny because it's just typical of the fucking numnutz that speak up about this neither know nor care what the actual legislation is about or for. And they dogwhistle to similarly clueless dipshits claiming to be victimised and having their rights denied. Fucking bullshit snowflakes dancing to the tune of a torn faced useless cunt.
