The “Harry Potter” author slammed a newly enacted hate-crime law in Scotland in a series of posts on X in which she referred to transgender women as men.
J.K. Rowling shared a social media thread on Monday, the day a new Scottish hate-crime law took effect, that misgendered several transgender women and appeared to imply trans women have a penchant for sexual predation. On Tuesday, Scottish police announced they would not be investigating the “Harry Potter” author’s remarks as a crime, as some of Rowling’s critics had called for.
“We have received complaints in relation to the social media post,” a spokesperson for Police Scotland said in a statement. “The comments are not assessed to be criminal and no further action will be taken.”
Scotland’s new Hate Crime and Public Order Act criminalizes “stirring up hatred” against people based on their race, religion, disability, sexuality or gender identity.
This comment got removed for saying: I encourage everyone to look at the modlog and read this post. It is a very rational take that was unjustly removed because some people on the mod team have a biased preference for the trans agenda. They are censoring @[email protected] because she actually has a point, and they don’t like that.
The reason was for saying the words “trans agenda.” They are so brazen in their censorship, you’re not even allowed to point out they have an agenda.
Am I allowed to say “conservative agenda”? What about “russian agenda”?
Screw these mods.
