‘I Look Forward To Being Arrested’: JK Rowling Torches Scotland’s New ‘Hate Crime’ Law

Virginia Kruta, The Daily Wire

J.K. Rowling responded on Monday to the enactment of Scotland’s new Hate Crime Act, delivering a brutal X thread showing just who such laws would protect.

The author, making good on a promise to deliver the goods on April Fool’s Day, laid out a list of biologically male criminal sex offenders, most of whom preyed on young women and girls — and without violating the new law by “misgendering” a single one, she painted a disastrous picture of the consequences she says such “hate crime” laws could have on female victims.

“Scotland’s Hate Crime Act comes into effect today. Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew!” Rowling began, sharing screenshots of Douglas posing with weapons while issuing threats to an “anti-trans” company.
