“Scottish lawmakers appear to have placed more importance on the feelings of men who interpret their idea of femininity, even in misogynistic or opportunistic ways, than on the rights and freedoms of women and girls,” she wrote in a long series of messages on X/Twitter.
“I am currently out of the country, but if what I have written here is considered an offense under the new law, I look forward to being arrested on my return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment,” he said. -she declared.
And added: “If you agree with the opinions expressed in this tweet, please retweet it. The maximum sentence under the new law in Scotland is seven years’ imprisonment. »
JK Rowling has been at war for several years once morest the rights granted to transgender women in particular, arguing that they are not “biologically” women.
