Labour used to be the working class party, now it's Woke elites and Islamists.

Rowling appeared to be responding to a story in the Mail on Sunday, which reported that a Labour government in Britain could make gender identity attacks a criminal offense.

Critics told the newspaper that it could result in prison sentences for those who refuse to use a transgender person’s preferred pronouns.

“I’ll happily do two years if the alternative is compelled speech and forced denial of the reality and importance of sex,” Rowling said on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter.

Rowling has become an advocate for biological women’s rights amid the fraught trans debate. Her post appears to suggest that she is willing to commit a crime in her desire for freedom of expression.

Rowling may have a very valid point.

There are huge differences between the sexes. I mean, theres been books written on the topic which is why people can't really change their sex. But Rowling also agrees that if someone wants to live that way then so be it. Her words are not hate speech, and anyone that thinks they were is an idiot.

finally someone who gets it .

I dont even think JR gets that her views and tweets will not be sending her to prison as its not hate speech

Rowling herself seems to be the one most keen to insist that her words are hate speech under the new law in Scotland. But she's an idiot. And the police have effectively said so.

>>>Rowling herself seems to be the one most keen to insist that her words are hate speech under the new law in Scotland<<<

Link? I'd like to read up on that...

Still, according to sane laws, it's not hate speech. In fact, I doubt you even know what she said. I mean, without looking it up...

[–] moviechatterer (13419) 24 days ago

the link is literally in the OP

[–] Martoto (4250) 24 days ago

Are you dim? It's all she's said the whole week. You wouldn't even be in a thread talking about Scottish law if it wasn't for Rowling falsely painting herself as a martyr.

It's like someone saying, "I'll gladly go to prison for my views on the written laws of baseball if the alternative is being forced to say that it's acceptable to bunt and break up a perfect game."

None of your comment makes sense.

[–] moviechatterer (13419) 24 days ago

I thought same .
read it several times . really tried . considered it may be my lack of baseball knowledge ,

Thanks for confirming its nonsensical

[–] jk90us (5337) 23 days ago

Well, baseball is nonsensical. Maybe that’s the problem. 😄

[–] jk90us (5337) 24 days ago

Basically the left is saying trans are more important and worth protecting than actual women. 🤨

As for making it illegal not to use pronouns, that’s BS. It’ll never happen.

[–] Martoto (4250) 24 days ago

Then why is Rowling repeating the bullshit that not using pronouns is being or will be made illegal?

[–] jk90us (5337) 24 days ago

Several reasons:

-To confirm how strongly she feels about the topic

-To point out that it’s BS and anyone even considering doing it is insane — and too dangerous to be in office

-She’s outing it just in case some dangerous political psychopath is considering it

[–] Martoto (4250) 24 days ago

That's bullshit. Pathetic.

[–] jk90us (5337) 23 days ago

I agree. That’s why she wants to stop them.

[–] Martoto (4250) 23 days ago

Stop who/what?

[–] jk90us (5337) 23 days ago

You need to reread this thread and pay attention.

[–] Martoto (4250) 23 days ago

We've already established that she's not stopping anyone from doing anything because nobody is doing the thing she's supposedly stopping.

Basically the left is saying trans are more important and worth protecting than actual women. 🤨

It’s clear at this point. If something affects both women and trans people, leftists side with the trans people every single time. A terf like jk Rowlings is viewed as a conservative from the left.

[–] moviechatterer (13419) 24 days ago

Clear? thats bullshit.

What sort of a "thing" are you thinking of that "affects both women and trans people" , and also forces people to side with one or the other?

[–] WandererFromYs (1676) 23 days ago

It's not bullshit, transgenders rank higher than women on the lefts tiered victimhood. When their issues intersect, liberals will side with transgenders, and dismiss womens complaints as transphobia and hate, and even attack women, or let them be harmed for it. You want examples? how about Transgender women in womens sports or Transgender women in womens spaces, such as bathrooms and changing rooms for example. If its bullshit, what are some of examples of womens rights being protect over transgender rights by the the left?

[–] moviechatterer (13419) 23 days ago

Nobody wants " Transgender women in womens sports" except maybe the odd trannie
99.9% of "the left" would agree with the right on that.

[–] wrlord (1081) 24 days ago

Anyone who risks prison for "their views" is not living in a free society.

[–] jk90us (5337) 24 days ago

Agreed. Certain actions should be illegal. Never thoughts.

[–] Martoto (4250) 24 days ago

Good thing it's a manufactured controversy by Rowling to falsely paint herself as a martyr.

Easy to say you'd happily risk jail when there is no risk of jail from what you are doing.
