In recent posts, Rowling referred to transgender criminals as men, regardless of their gender transition. She claims the law prioritizes the feelings of "men expressing femininity" over the protection of "real women and girls."
Rowling has stated she is prepared to face legal action if her comments are deemed in violation of the new law.
The law, effective from April 1, 2024, prohibits hate speech based on age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or intersex status.
The debate over Scotland's Hate Crime Law continues, with its implications yet to be fully realized.
Zoomboola.com reminds readers that the fantasy novelist has previously faced criticism for her comments on transgender people, leading to accusations of transphobia.
Notably, in 2019, Rowling was embroiled in controversy for supporting Maya Forstater, who criticized transgenderism and was fired as a result.
