Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiLONDON - The British government said J.K. Rowling should not be arrested for her transgender views after the Harry Potter author challenged Scotland's new hate crime law with social media posts asserting that a number of trans women were men.
Women are not protected as a group, but the Scottish National Party-led government in Edinburgh is looking at separate reforms to target misogyny. Rowling tested the law by listing 10 trans women, including a convicted rapist, sex abusers and high profile activists, on X and saying they were men. However, Minister for Victims and Community Safety Siobhan Brown told BBC radio on Monday it would be a matter for police to decide.
India Willoughby, Britain's first transgender newsreader and one of those who was listed by Rowling, questioned why anyone should"publicly denigrate and mock" trans people.
