J.K. Rowling, transgenderism, hate speech and a dark day for Scottish enlightenment.

JK Rowling has criticised Scotland's new hate crime law, which includes misgendering as a hate crime, in a series of tweets. Rowling raises concerns about potential abuse of the legislation by activists, the impact on women's sports, and the loss of freedom of speech. The author adds that she will "look forward to being arrested" when she returns to Scotland if her tweets qualify as an offense under the law. Rowling's thread also highlights cases where biological men are considered women, leading to dangers for actual women and girls in single-sex spaces, sports, and opportunities. Scottish lawmakers are accused of valuing the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness over the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls.
