As both John and I wrote about, J.K. Rowling challenged the Scottish government to prosecute her for “misgendering” transgender criminals in a long thread on Twitter yesterday.
Under the new Hate Speech law, which criminalizes certain speech aimed at a wide range of protected classes, “misgendering” is an offense that can get you in trouble. Rowling, of course, doesn’t believe there is such a thing to begin with. Men are men, and women are women, and the alphabet mafia’s invention of the concept has enabled horrific examples of men invading women’s spaces.
I hope every woman in Scotland who wishes to speak up for the reality and importance of biological sex will be reassured by this announcement, and I trust that all women – irrespective of profile or financial means – will be treated equally under the law.https://t.co/CsgehF2a5d
