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”.

    I miss when authors, CEOs and such shut their mouths outside of things related to what they have any skill or intelligence in. Like, you wrote books about a boy fighting against wizards, shut up and stop proving how worthless you are outside of the books you’ve already written.

      The books weren’t even well written, they just hit right at the time.

    Someone needs to tell her sex and gender are not the same thing. And then arrest her.

    She can probably afford the lawyers more easily than the Scottish Government can as well. This could end up a long, protracted legal mess.
