“Trans Women Are Not Women, Trans Women Are MEN” | Julia Challenges Police Scotland To Arrest Her

Scotland’s First Minister has insisted he is “very proud” of new hate crimes laws which have just come into force, as author JK Rowling warned the legislation is “wide open to abuse”.

The Harry Potter author, who has become a fierce critic of the Scottish Government’s stance on transgender rights, has been one of the highest profile critics of the legislation.

The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act came into effect on Monday, consolidating existing hate crime legislation and creating a new offence of stirring up hatred against protected characteristics.

However, women have not been given protection under the law, with the Scottish Government instead promising to bring forward legislation to tackle misogyny.

Backing JK Rowling, Julia Hartley-Brewer challenges Police Scotland to arrest her for refusing to state something "I know to be untrue".

"I tweeted yesterday, trans women are not women, trans women are men, arrest me," she adds.
