JK Rowling has asserted that a ‘trans woman’ still isn’t a woman just because they make the effort to look like a pretty woman.
The Harry Potter author made the comments as controversy surrounding Scotland’s new hate crime law continues to swirl.
Under the new legislation, anyone deemed to have been verbally ‘abusive’, in person or online, to a transgender person, including “insulting” them could be hit with a prison sentence of up to seven years.
The law has sparked fears that merely ‘misgendering’ a trans person could be an arrestable offence.
Rowling defied the new law by posting a number of images of ‘trans women’, most of them violent criminals and sex offenders, and challenging police to arrest her.
“If they go after any woman for simply calling a man a man, I’ll repeat that woman’s words and they can charge us both at once,” she stated.
Earlier today, Police Scotland said her comments were not being treated as criminal.
The author got into an argument with broadcaster Albie Amankona on X after Amankona asserted Munroe Bergdorf, a biological man, should be treated as a woman just because he has made the effort with body modifications and make-up.
“Like most Brits I am sympathetic to @jk_rowling’s views on biological sex & the need for single-sex provisions,” he posted.
“But I suspect like me, most Brits would find calling a trans woman who looks like @munroebergdorf1 “him” to be obtuse & mean-spirited, though not a criminal offence.
Rowling vociferously disagreed.
“So if trans-identified men are pretty enough (as judged by you, a man) women ought to agree they’re women?” she hit back.
“Femaleness has no relation whatsoever to how well an individual – man or woman – performs femininity to male standards. This is the very definition of misogyny.”
Rowling also pointed out that Bergdorf had failed a risk assessment to be around children not because of a Playboy shoot, as claimed by her detractors, but “because Bergdorf had asked emotionally distressed children to contact him online.”
Meanwhile, as we highlighted earlier, Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf has declared that the new hate crime law is justified because of graffiti about him near his home.

I’m afraid that won’t hold up for long. Actual females-from-birth women will soon post saying the same thing as Wanless did. All too many of them are totally on board with the whole trans thing despite the erasing of their own sex/gender. Feminists especially it seems. But then I supposed they have to otherwise they make a mockery of their own (insane) political views.
