It was no April Fool’s joke.
Harry Potter author-turned culture warrior J.K. Rowling kicked off the month with an 11-tweet social media thread in which she argued 10 transgender women were men — and dared Scottish police to arrest her.
Rowling’s intervention came as a controversial new Scottish government law, aimed at protecting minority groups from hate crimes, took effect. And it landed amid a fierce debate over both the legal status of transgender people in Scotland and over what actually constitutes a hate crime.
Already the law has generated far more international buzz than is normal for legislation passed by a small nation’s devolved parliament.
The thing is, you people are literally saying she should be arrested for not calling you what you want to be called.
I’d say you’re calling to violate way more rights than she is.
Your account is one day old and, of your 50 comments, nearly all of them are downvoted into oblivion. I don’t think the progressives on Lemmy are falling for any of your weird conservative takes. You might want to try out Truth Social instead. They might be more receptive.
