😷 JK Rowling fled Scotland so she could post anti-trans rhetoric.
(Scotland just enacted a new Hate Crime law that makes it a crime to "stir up" hate against protected classes, in which gender identity is specifically included.
JK Rowling is a bully, who seems to have been planning for today, to the point of not being in Scotland when she made her transphobic “bad trans people” tweet. Even the photos she used of myself, Munro etc - old, designed to mock. She likes hurting trans people.
