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.

I was comparing the excuse of her bigotry to the same excuses given to Nazis and it led to horrors. Horrors that are happening again and which she is fomenting.
I compared her to the Nazi ideology she supports and her supporters to the appeasers that excused the Nazis in the 1930s.
I will not apologize for calling a Nazi a Nazi. If you think you have to subscribe to every single thing the Nazis believed in to be called a Nazi, you’re wrong.
Is she Hitler? No, because she’s not a world leader. Would she do the same things he did to trans people, especially women, if she were? Of that I have little doubt.
Think like a Nazi, I’m going to call you a Nazi. Excuse a Nazi and I’m going to point it out.

She subscribes to Nazi ideology. Specifically the classifying of trans people as sub humans and demonizing them as a danger to public safety.
It quacks like a duck. You seem to think Nazi = killing people. It doesn’t. She supports a genocide. That’s all it takes.
Again, Hitler didn’t open the camps on day one to anyone but political opponents.
This seems more about you liking Rowling and not wanting to admit what she’s doing.
Once again, a transgender genocide is going on right now. She is supporting it. If you deny that genocide is happening, or worse, claiming she has a point like the person I responded to, you’re supporting Nazi ideology too.
Maybe the issue is that you agree with her that trans people are a danger to society?

Ah, so you deny there’s a transgender genocide going on right now despite my showing you very clearly that it is, in fact, happening right now.
Guess I know why you’re also denying that a Nazi is a Nazi.
You would have saved a lot of time if you had just started this by telling me that you agree with Rowling.

Yes, I know you are denying a very real genocide. You’ve already made that clear.
Here is a lot more information about it for you and your fellow travelers, which is what you are, and the Nazis you support to claim isn’t happening:

I can keep going, but I doubt you’ll read more than a sentence or two of one single link, if that.
But please do continue to explain how it isn’t hyperbolic to compare genocide denail to the Nazis.
