JK Rowling has called Scotland's new hate crime laws 'ludicrous', as she vowed not to delete social media posts describing a transgender TV presenter as 'just a man'.
The Harry Potter author was cleared of any wrongdoing by police in England earlier this month over an online post about broadcaster India Willoughby, who complained she had been 'misgendered'.
But Ms Rowling has now been targeted by activists who claim she could be prosecuted under the controversial new Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, due to be introduced on April 1.
The 58-year-old wrote on X that she would not be taking down any of her posts about Ms Willoughby.
She said: 'If you genuinely imagine I'd delete posts calling a man a man, so as not to be prosecuted under this ludicrous law, stand by for the mother of all April Fools' jokes.'
Ms Rowling was responding to a post from a user claiming to be a British lawyer who wrote: 'Delete the posts about India Willoughby as they most likely contravene the new law. Start deleting!'
Supporters of Ms Rowling praised her for 'standing up against the woke mob'.
And feminist group For Women Scotland wrote: 'Not sure anyone claiming to be a lawyer should be posting misleading info.'
Police Scotland has indicated that only incidents after April 1 will be investigated under the new law, meaning Ms Rowling would not face retrospective action.

Just like we said they would.
In the 1980s.
I like that!
That puts it very succinctly and directly.
Gotta say, I’m very impressed with this woman. She has not backed down.
Yep.
Progressives have this dumb idea that permitting deviant sexual behavior has never been tried...like it’s a new experiment or something.
But it’s as old as the hills. Whenever it manages to force itself out of the closet again, societies quickly realize what a huge mistake it was to tolerate it, and they shove it back in again.
We have been stupid, so we have to now relearn the lesson.
“...a mature and financially successful woman trying to fight back, even if she has no idea how to do it. “
She has no idea how to fight back, because she was very much part of the Left that got us to here in the first place.
She has consistently supported gay rights and gay marriage and gays adopting children and “anti-discrimination” laws to favour gays... and all the rest of it.
And now a sexual deviancy that she doesn’t like has emerged, and she is finding that there is a legal infrastructure to punish those who do do not approve of the latest degeneracy or decadence.
Rowlings bought the ticket ! And she should enjoy the ride !
The best lawyers are cold blooded ambitious psychopaths who are loyal to nothing except money.
Nobody in the USA would get away with it.
Uh, maybe these guys:

It’s a wack job.
