JK Rowling has challenged Scotland’s new hate crime law in a series of social media posts - inviting police to arrest her if they believe she has committed an offence.
The Harry Potter author, who lives in Edinburgh, described several transgender women as men, including convicted prisoners, trans activists and other public figures.
She said “freedom of speech and belief” was at an end if accurate description of biological sex was outlawed.
Earlier, Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf said the new law would deal with a “rising tide of hatred”.
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 creates a new crime of “stirring up hatred” relating to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex.

Ms Rowling, who has long been a critic of some trans activism, posted on X on the day the new legislation came into force.
Ah, so you deny there’s a transgender genocide going on right now despite my showing you very clearly that it is, in fact, happening right now.
Guess I know why you’re also denying that a Nazi is a Nazi.
You would have saved a lot of time if you had just started this by telling me that you agree with Rowling.
I don’t agree with Rowling’s concerns about transgender people. They are no threat to me or the larger society. I also don’t think there is a transgender genocide going on. Again, reductio ad absurdum. Does that make me a Nazi? Again, who knew the bar was so low on Nazism?
It’s hard to take you seriously when your argument is just a long string of logical fallacies, as I pointed out in detail.
Yes, I know you are denying a very real genocide. You’ve already made that clear.
Here is a lot more information about it for you and your fellow travelers, which is what you are, and the Nazis you support to claim isn’t happening:

I can keep going, but I doubt you’ll read more than a sentence or two of one single link, if that.
But please do continue to explain how it isn’t hyperbolic to compare genocide denail to the Nazis.
Look, I disagree with you, but I’m pretty sure you aren’t Hitler. But you should still try to get a grip on reality.

Cool. I never said disagreeing with someone makes them Hitler, so that’s not even remotely relevant.
I said denying this genocide, especially in the face of the overwhelming evidence I just provided you, makes you a fellow traveler who aids Nazis.
Sorry, if you don’t want to be told you’re helping out Nazis, don’t be a genocide denier. And if you don’t want to be called a genocide denier, don’t deny a genocide is happening when you’re very, very, very clearly shown that it is and even refusing to review the evidence you’ve been given.
That makes you a fellow traveler of Nazis. It’s not my fault that you’re a genocide denier, it’s yours.
I do love that someone who denies a genocide is happening in the face of a mass of evidence they clearly are refusing to review is telling me to get a grip on reality though. My grip on reality is based on evidence. Yours is apparently based on misunderstanding what Godwin’s Law means. Although I think it’s an intentional misunderstanding to avoid admitting you’re a fellow traveler.
You literally called me a Nazi multiple times. Keep going. It really enhances your credibility.
Nope, I literally called you a fellow traveler and a Nazi supporter. Because you’re supporting Nazis.
And it’s odd that you’re talking about credibility when you continue to refuse to review a lot of information about an ongoing genocide so that you can continue to claim it isn’t happening.
Keep going. Your hyperbole and moral panic are entertaining. Those Nazis are everywhere, I tell you. Everywhere!
Ah, so now genocide is a moral panic. Those horrible trans people!
