“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling delivered a scathing translation of an X post written by a man who claimed to be an LGBTQ “ally” and warned her to delete posts referring to a trans-identifying male as a man.
Rowling exchanged a few posts with an attorney named Rajan Barot, responding first when he advised her to delete posts about a trans-identifying activist who goes by the name India Willoughby in order to avoid running afoul of a new law.
“It comes into force on 1 April 2024 and any posts up after that are amenable to prosecution in Scotland. You are best advised to delete the posts about @IndiaWilloughby as they most likely contravene the new law. Start deleting!” Barot posted.
“If you genuinely imagine I’d delete posts calling a man a man, so as not to be prosecuted under this ludicrous law, stand by for the mother of all April Fools’ jokes,” Rowling replied.
