Scotland's hate laws neutered

So the new rules on being arrested. You refuse to say anything until you're spoken to a solicitor and when they ask for the details you tell them to tweet all the information to JKR and she'll let the police know who your solicitor will be, and actually they may as well go tell her to her face as they'll have to arrest her for the same thing later!

Which the Scottish government were meant to do. They were mean to give real life examples of how the law worked, eg that correctly sexing 'misgendering' someone wouldn't be against the law. The decided not to, because it'd cause anTRA tantrum and only help out women. Murray Blackburn Mackenzie wrote about it.

And now JKR has forced them to say it, to an international audience, because they were too craven to put it in the guidance of the law. Karma, you cowardly gits.

The woman that will never be silenced.
Joanne speaks for her fellow women.
What a wonderful woman.

Good.

Sadly their are other posts on Mumsnet already trying to turn this on it's head, claiming women will now be victimized more, posted I'm sure by a man, but not the obvious sort, the sort that want to get into the ladies toilets...

She is every bit as amazing and brave as one of the best characters from her books.

Funny that.

Game, Set and Match!

I love her so much. She says everything I can't because of my profession. It kills me that I worry about even clicking like on one of her tweets in case the wrong person draws the wrong conclusions.

I worry there may be a lone nutter out there. I hope her security is beyond top-notch.

She is an exceptional human.

Dadjokes by any chance?

Saw that thread and smelt a rat with a penis.

Read out her tweet to DH just now. He's a fan of hers too and said she'd played a blinder.

Faircats...(or Tom...) isn't it just exhausting though ? I put my two pence worth in but I'm tired already, one crazy world.

She can empty the coffers simply by moving.

I've loved watching her take this on. Utterly brilliant!

And since Monday, yesterday, Police Scotland have received 3000 complaints! I'm sure I rem her them saying on R4 that they have already determined to look at every single complaint! Bet they weren't thinking of 3k on Day 1 🤣.

Want to know what a woman is? This is what a woman is. JKR is a fearless lioness. #teamJKR

This has made me so happy today.

Saw that thread and smelt a rat with a penis.

brilliant phrase @justasking111

❤️ JKR ❤️ What a hero. She is the absolute fucking business.

Jo, THANK YOU.

Yes and I would if I were her.

Queen Jo 💜🥂

It's not neutered, the 'trans issue' is a straw man.
The aim of this is to introduce 'blasphemy law' under cover.

Yes, everywhere I've been online today says the same thing. Its about islamaphobia rather than men of a gender.

I've no idea how true it is.

Sigh, pressed too soon.

And good on jk, I knew she had something planned, I'm impressed

I've only listened to half of it but Lewis Goodall and Jon Sopel on The News Agents with a very strong piece on this, and getting some criticism in the comments like Maitlis did for the Hannah Barnes interview.

thank you Jo Rowling. Most of us can't speak openly because of this horseshite cult ideology. But we so appreciate your presence, to say what those who can't, don't.

I also adore her ability to weild words.
