World’s most famous fantasy writer won’t go to jail for refusing to believe in transgender magic
The world’s most famous fantasy writer, JK Rowling, apparently doesn’t believe in transgender magic. In a X (Deadname, Twitter—ed) post on April Fool’s Day, she bravely described several transgender “women” as biological men—including convicted prisoners, transgender activists and other public figures.

Unnaturally, this resulted in numerous complaints being filed with the police under Scotland’s 2021 Hate Crime and Public Order Act, demanding she be locked up in Hogwarts’ deepest dungeon. Thankfully, the world is saner than TikTokers may lead you to believe. A BBC report said her words won’t be “treated as criminal” and “no action will be taken.”
Katie Neeves, a man claiming to be a “trans woman,” who was appointed a UN Women UK delegate, didn’t agree with the police, saying: “JK Rowling is a bully and [the Hate Crime and Public Order Act] was designed to stop bullying, and if they’re not going to enforce it then that’s very disappointing.”
TAKING A BITE OUT OF SUNAK
England’s Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, however, defended the Harry Potter novelist: “We should not be criminalizing people saying common sense things about biological sex, clearly that isn’t right… We have a proud tradition of free speech.”
A spokesperson for the first minister added: “…the right to freedom of expression is built into [the Hate Crime and Public Order Act] and that it also has a high threshold for criminality. The legislation does not prevent people expressing controversial, challenging or offensive views, nor does it seek to stifle criticism or rigorous debate in any way.”
As if calling a man a man is controversial. But even if it was, the European Convention on Human Rights includes protection for “ideas that offend, shock or disturb.”
Of course, words that are inciting violence toward anyone (irregardless of their personal beliefs regarding gender) should not be tolerated. But JK Rowling’s words weren’t threatening or abusive. And while she may have hurt a few mushable people’s feelings, she hasn’t physically harmed anyone — quite unlike rapist “Katie Dolatowski” (a biological man claiming to be a woman) who Rowling highlighted in her April 1st post:
“Fragile flower Katie Dolatowski, 6’5″, was rightly sent to a women’s prison in Scotland after conviction. This ensured she was protected from violent, predatory men (unlike the 10-year-old girl Katie sexually assaulted in a women’s public bathroom.)”
The author also mocked political and cultural leaders who claim to protect women’s rights but cannot define what a woman is.
