Scottish police will not arrest author J.K. Rowling after she posted a series of tweets in which she was “DELIBERATELY DEFIANT” of Scotland’s new Hate Crime Act. Not ironically, the act took effect on April Fools’ Day and criminalizes “misgendering” an individual as being what it calls “stirring up hatred.” Rowling not being arrested is great news, but the Edinburgh resident must feel as though she’s stuck in her fictional world of dark magic and petty tyrants.
As the BBC reports the kerfuffle, “The Harry Potter author described several transgender women as men.” No, she used pronouns that correspond with the individuals’ sex rather than their “identity.”
In 11 posts, Rowling used her acerbic wit to mock the idea that various men are actually women, concluding, “I’m currently out of the country, but if what I’ve written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.” For good measure, she repeatedly used the hashtag #ArrestMe.
One day we're going to have to liberate these people.
