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.

    Nope. A fellow traveler is not a Nazi. They mean different things. So that’s another lie. How many more lies do you plan to tell?

            Nope, I’m claiming that you’re lying because you’re lying. You lied twice about me calling you a Nazi, which I never did, once by claiming that a fellow traveler and a Nazi are the same thing, which they are not, and once because you claimed I backpedaled, which you did not do.

            Furthermore, it is not a fallacy that there is an ongoing transgender genocide just because you arrogantly refuse to believe it.
