Quick Glance: Rowling's Remarks on Scottish Hate Crime Law Not Criminal
- Harry Potter author JK Rowling has stated that her posts regarding Scotland's new hate crime law are not criminal, as confirmed by Police Scotland.
- Despite complaints about her posts, where she referred to trans women as men, Rowling argued that freedom of speech and belief would cease in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex was deemed criminal.
- Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized that people should not be criminalized for stating simple biological facts.
- While the law consolidates existing hate crime legislation and introduces a new offense of stirring up hatred against protected characteristics, women have not been granted protection, raising concerns about freedom of speech in Scotland.
