Author JK Rowling has vowed to support women who speak out against transgenderism, after a Scottish police decision not to charge her for misgendering transgender individuals under a new hate crime law. The law has faced criticism for potentially limiting free speech. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also criticized the law, emphasizing the importance of free speech. While Rowling’s comments will not lead to criminal charges, there is debate on whether they could be considered non-crime hate incidents. Transgender activist Katie Neeves is planning to file a complaint against Rowling, accusing her of inciting hatred.
