Now They Come for J K Rowling! By Mrs Vera West
J K Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, has been in trouble with the UK thought police and Leftist trans movement many times for making a strong defence of women, that they exist and have rights distinct from trans women. Thus, in the latest, she has been reported to the Northumbria police for misgendering the UK's first transgender national news anchor India Willoughby, age 58. Rowling,called Willoughby "just a man reveling in his misogynistic performance of what he thinks 'woman' means: narcissistic, shallow and exhibitionist."
This was a crime the news anchor said, and made a complaint to the police. "It's a protected characteristic and that is a breach of both the Equalities Act and the Gender Recognition Act. She's tweeted that out to 14 million followers," Willoughby wrote. But Rowling replied that she had the right to free speech (not really in hyper-woke Britain) and that she had been advised by her lawyers that she had a counter-case for defamation and harassment.
Good, go for it J. K. She has the money to get good lawyers unlike many who are falling under the steam roller of the thought crime regime.
India Willoughby, 58, reported having "contacted Northumbria Constabulary" over a series of X posts Sunday by the outspoken author.
Rowling, also 58, called Willoughby "just a man reveling in his misogynistic performance of what he thinks 'woman' means: narcissistic, shallow and exhibitionist."
Rowling had "definitely committed a crime," Willoughby alleged to Byline TV Wednesday, claiming the best-selling author was guilty of a "cut-and-dry offense."
"I'm legally a woman, she knows I'm a woman, and she calls me a man.
"It's a protected characteristic and that is a breach of both the Equalities Act and the Gender Recognition Act. She's tweeted that out to 14 million followers," Willoughby wrote.
Rowling hit back, saying that free speech was protected under British law — and suggesting that Willoughby's "obsessive targeting" of her constituted defamation and harassment.
She has long been outspoken on transgender issues, saying last year that she would rather serve jail time than be forced to concede that gender isn't a biological trait determined at birth.
That statement came after a report that the nation's Labour Party would make deliberately calling someone by the wrong gender a hate crime punishable by imprisonment.
"There is no possible charge. There is no such thing as a hate crime without there first being an actual crime. India is relying on the police not understanding this basic fact," Harry Miller from WeAreFairCop, a group of "gender critical lawyers, police officers, writers & professionals," told the Telegraph.
"Misgendering may be rude but it's not even in the foothills of being criminal."
