J.K. Rowling–will she become Scotland’s Public Enemy No. 1?
When I was a boy, the Iron Curtain cut off communist Eastern Europe from the rest of the world. It fell when the Soviet Union collapsed.
But now it’s being raised again–in Scotland.
And J.K. Rowling, who wrote the Harry Potter books, has successfully defied it (https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-government-backs-jk-rowling-scottish-hate-crime-law-challenge-2024-04-02/).
Openly daring Scottish police to arrest her for the new crime of “misgendering,” Rowling listed ten “trans-women” celebrities as men–which in fact they are.
And the police backed down.
Scottish police officials say they anticipate many complaints regarding social media posts; but meanwhile, they’re not coming after Rowling. Apparently the next Harry Potter story won’t have to be written in a prison cell.
Furthermore, Rowling has pledged her support for anyone who gets charged with a hate crime for stating a common-sense biological fact.
Is J.K. Rowling the last person in Scotland who supports free speech? The only one who refuses to say things which are not true, but only demanded politically? And what kind of country do you have, wherein everyone must pay lip service to a doctrine based on a lie?
What would William Wallace do?
