JK Rowling in ‘arrest me’ challenge over Scottish hate crime law
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.

If I had her money, I wouldn't spend my time bullying people and starting fights with the police. She's clearly insane in the most fundamental way.
The more I know about rich people, the less inclined I am to think that they're usually well adjusted.
Hoarding is usually considered a mental illness, unless it's money. Maybe we should consider that a problem too.
When you have ten billion dollars, you aren't really trying to make more money because you can really imagine a feasible way of spending it all on your own well-being. What's even the point then?
That's exactly my point.
I’ve become convinced that power, including wealth, causes brain damage.
Why not start fights with police/government?
Why would anyone want a high drama life?
A lot of people seem to
But strange enough, her insanity mostly damages others and has no negative impact on her life. How comes?
Money.
Correct
It's not money, money makes you get out of situations easily, it doesn't create the situations. And she is creating those situations in ways that don't require insanity. They only require bad intentions.
