JK Rowling tried to martyr herself for the anti-trans cause. She failed miserably.

JK Rowling dared police to arrest her this week after a new hate crime law went into effect in Scotland that includes protections for trans people, but it didn’t work out as planned.

The notoriously anti-trans Harry Potter author is incensed over the legislation and went on a long X rant on Monday, pushing the limits of hate speech by implying trans people are violent criminals (and even axe murderers).

Jean-Pierre called out Fox reporters with basic facts. They couldn’t handle it.

She ended the thread with a slew of vitriolic anti-trans insults, accusing Scottish lawmakers of placing “higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls.”

She claimed the new law “is wide open to abuse by activists” who want to “silence” those speaking out against the rights of trans folks.

Rowling then attempted to martyr herself for the cause.

“I’m currently out of the country, but if what I’ve written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment,” she wrote.

But her efforts failed, as police reportedly assessed her comments and determined them not to be criminal. “No further action will be taken,” Police Scotland said in a statement after receiving some complaints about the author’s posts.

Rowling’s hateful thread included a list of numerous trans criminals and public figures, claiming that each had either violated or stolen coveted positions from girls and women. She then swaddled her comments in sarcasm under cover of an April Fools post but then swung for the fences by misgendering her criminal subjects.
