Not a month goes by without JK Rowling showing her rancid transphobia. After stating that she he would rather go to prison rather than use an appropriate pronoun when referring to a trans person last October, the author ofHarry Potter this time he asked to be stoppedas reported Information about France.

“Stop me” said the 58-year-old British author. The author made this provocation in response to a Scottish law that provides for harsher penalties against people guilty of discrimination and incitement to hatred, particularly those who are transphobic. JK Rowling was personally quoted by Scottish Minister Siobhian Brown this Monday 1 April on BBC. Brown announced that the author could be prosecuted for the harassment she has inflicted online on trans people for 4 years, if the police decide it is a crime.

JK Rowling’s nauseating thread on

Neither one nor two, the 600 million book-selling author responded by flooding X (formerly Twitter) with a series of posts showing famous transgender criminals, accompanying the images with ironic messages. In these photos we particularly see transgender people displaying weapons or who have been convicted of rape, exhibitionism or sexual violence against women or girls.

“Freedom of speech and belief is over in Scotland if biological sex is accurately described” the author writes before stating:

In passing Scotland’s hate crime law, Scottish legislators appear to have placed greater value on the feelings of the men they embody their idea of ​​femininityeven in a misogynistic or opportunistic way, that women’s rights and freedoms and real women.

“I can’t wait to be arrested”

JK Rowling concluded her message with a taunt to the Scottish authorities:

I am currently abroad, but if what I have written here is considered a crime under the new law, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

With this argument, JK Rowling extends a transphobic stereotype at least as old as cinema. On Netflix, we highly recommend the exciting Disclosurea documentary that traces the history of cinema and series, showing how the stereotype of the transgender or the deranged and criminal transvestite adheres to the representations.
