The Harry Potter author described several transgender women as men in a series of social media posts.

JK Rowling has challenged Scotland’s new hate crime law in a series of social media posts - inviting police to arrest her if they believe she has committed an offence.

The Harry Potter author, who lives in Edinburgh, described several transgender women as men, including convicted prisoners, trans activists and other public figures.

She said “freedom of speech and belief” was at an end if accurate description of biological sex was outlawed.

Earlier, Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf said the new law would deal with a “rising tide of hatred”.

The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 creates a new crime of “stirring up hatred” relating to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex.

Ms Rowling, who has long been a critic of some trans activism, posted on X on the day the new legislation came into force.

    You literally called me a Nazi multiple times. Keep going. It really enhances your credibility.

      Nope, I literally called you a fellow traveler and a Nazi supporter. Because you’re supporting Nazis.

      And it’s odd that you’re talking about credibility when you continue to refuse to review a lot of information about an ongoing genocide so that you can continue to claim it isn’t happening.

        Keep going. Your hyperbole and moral panic are entertaining. Those Nazis are everywhere, I tell you. Everywhere!

          Ah, so now genocide is a moral panic. Those horrible trans people!

            And another logical fallacy. Keep going. You’re doing great!

              Believe it or not, just accusing me of making logical fallacies doesn’t actually make them logical fallacies.

              It’s not my fault that you’re a fellow traveler, it’s yours.

                No, making logical fallacies makes your argument logically fallacious. But keep going.

                  Too bad it’s not a logical fallacy to call a genocide denier, which you are, a fellow traveler.

                    I already pointed out the logical fallacies one of your posts, in which virtually every word was part of a logical fallacy. That must be very embarrassing for you as a grown man. I don’t think I need to embarrass you further. But keep going. Tell me again that I’m a Nazi.
