Harry Potter author JK Rowling criticizes new hate crime law in Scotland. Rowling says the law does not protect the rights and freedoms of women.
The law penalizes harassment of representatives of sexual minorities. The majority of social network users who responded to the writer’s statement agreed with her opinion and thanked her for her courage. The writer continues to cover events and forward news about the pickets and protests that began to take place in Scotland after the announcement of the new law. In 2021, on social networks, the author commented on an article about the Scottish police's intention to register men as women if they consider themselves such.
