JK Rowling to Scottish Speech Fascists: 'Arrest Me'

DAVID STROM

JK Rowling is challenging the Scottish police to arrest her. 

 

Her crime? Hate speech is now illegal in Scotland after a new law went into effect. And her Twitter thread calling men claiming to be women "men" is a clear violation of that law. 

 

Clear. Unambiguous. Not even a shadow of a doubt. 

 

She broke the law and wants to be arrested. And who could blame her? As a billionaire with a cause, she could blaze the trail for the civil rights of her fellow so-called TERFS. 

 

Rowling gets death threats every day for the simple crime of saying the obvious: men who put on a dress are not suddenly women, and women deserve to have their own private spaces. These are truths that literally everybody but the mentally ill knows, but in Scotland, it is now illegal to say it. The Narrative™ is THE LAW.

I don't even have a Twitter account, but I've been scrolling thru Rowling's most popular tweets anyway. Damn, those are some sick burns. One of my favorites (and she plays no favorites herself!):

Given that her politics are what would be considered pretty standard fare liberal aside from trans exclusion, perhaps you can tell us why many leftist commentators consider her no better than a nazi and many of the adjacent celebrities feel the need to distance themselves from her.

Is she breaking the new law with those old 2017 tweets?

 

or did you have to go back that far to find something about the orange dude.

 

 

Seems kind of off topic for the thread you started.

or just a TDS example?

No, but the thread is specifically about her daring the Scottish authorities to charge her, and more generally about how she doesn't suffer fools gladly.

In other words: Don't mess with her!

Because either they are: (1) true believers in what I would call radical trans theory - the idea that there is absolutely no difference between a trans woman and a biological (from birth) woman. Obviously Rowling hates this theory. She has a lived experience as a girl and as a girl growing into a woman. She doesn't hate trans people; she just believes that radical trans theory would obliterate any such distinction and that that is wrong. Or (2) people who are afraid to be called out as anti-trans.

OK. it is what it is.

There's a bit of a warning here to Trumpist righties who might be inclined to put her in their pantheon alongside such minor deities as James Lindsay and Jordan Peterson ... she is far too much of her own woman to be so readily used.

And she has Eff You money that means she doesn't have to go trolling for anyone's approval and the associated speaking fees.

But all in on what?

 

What I'm getting at here is that the litmus tests for leftist allies are becoming increasingly niche and social in nature. Who do you think Anderson Cooper would sooner call a political ally, a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist who buys wholesale into ***** and bottom surgeries for kids, or a social democrat who thinks that maybe feminism would be better off without dudes in dresses?
