No crime needs to be committed for someone to be prosecuted. They are using famed author J.K. Rowling of the “Harry Potter” series as their first public example to show that even a billionaire celebrity can be silenced for going against the woke narrative. Rowling was first criticized years ago when the woke left deemed her fictional characters to be homophobic, ableist, and racist. The author double-downed on her innocence and pointed out that it absolutely absurd to assume for people to claim that her books have victimized them.
I hope every woman in Scotland who wishes to speak up for the reality and importance of biological sex will be reassured by this announcement, and I trust that all women – irrespective of profile or financial means – will be treated equally under the law.https://t.co/CsgehF2a5d

The law in Scotland went into effect on April 1. Rowling took to social media to point out that this law protects biological males who have committed crimes against biological women. “If what I’ve written here qualifies as an offense under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment,” the author stated. “If you genuinely imagine I’d delete posts calling a man a man, so as not to be prosecuted under this ludicrous law, stand by for the mother of all April Fools’ jokes,” Rowling stated in another tweet.
'Our daughters stayed quiet because they are afraid. We tried to speak up for them, and we were shut down… name-calling and the threat of mental health is being used as emotional blackmail to keep us all quiet while women are harmed and devalued.'#WomensRightsAreHumanRights https://t.co/iqO3rRTRqN

You must understand that they are attempting to implement these hate speech laws throughout the Build Back Better nations. The aim is to alter our reality, censor our ability to speak freely, and pander to a small fragment of the population who is guaranteed to vote for blue and green policies.
Minister for Victims and Community Safety Siobhian Brown, an actual job title and government-funded agency, believes hurt feelings can be “traumatic and life-changing” and believes the world must be silenced. The government may deem what is and is not offensive. People will become fearful to speak their truth or question authority as it could come with consequences.
They are passing similar laws in Canada, the United States, and throughout Europe. These tyrannical measures will give governments only provide governments with unbridled power to censor speech and warp reality.
