It was no April Fool’s joke.
Harry Potter author-turned culture warrior J.K. Rowling kicked off the month with an 11-tweet social media thread in which she argued 10 transgender women were men — and dared Scottish police to arrest her.
Rowling’s intervention came as a controversial new Scottish government law, aimed at protecting minority groups from hate crimes, took effect. And it landed amid a fierce debate over both the legal status of transgender people in Scotland and over what actually constitutes a hate crime.
Already the law has generated far more international buzz than is normal for legislation passed by a small nation’s devolved parliament.
As mentioned, I think you have those reversed, but yes, as do all the so-called “anti-woke” brigade who are worried about crimes they’ve made up (which don’t happen), and have no real solution. There is, however, anti-trans hatred which they are riling up, resulting in violence and murders of transfolk at an alarming rate. If you ever ask about FtM people, they are suddenly quiet, because it completely messes with their logic.
