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.
Except they probably don’t even understand the laws. At least the statements she made didn’t actually break the law. She’s either stupid or purposely using a straw man argument.
So sure. They can stand up for what they believe in. And they can also also get ridiculed for being idiots whose shitty opinions are not based in reality.
Oh the ironing, lol.
Yes, so much ironing going on in that quote.
