Typical conservative victim complex. They’re living in another reality where they think they’d be jailed for “thinking the wrong thing.”
I wish I could tell her: No, Rowling. You’re a bigot. Your punishment is social in nature. And as much as you pretend you don’t care or are so brave for bullying the trans community you’ll always know deep down that you’re just a disappointment to those you once inspired to be better.
I wonder how her kid she wrote the books for feels about her these days. Sadly, I’m sure since he ultimately grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth he thinks his mother loves him unconditionally and is sticking up for what she believes in, just like she taught him to do. What’s more sad though is the thought of him having friends his age—our age—my age who have woken up to the klaxon sirens of her hatred and criticize the mother who taught him all this. Again. I’m sure the reality is that the wealth he’s inheriting keeps him insulated from making friends who are harmed by all this, or are even aware of this harm, but I can imagine a world where he feels conflicted about that his mother has provided everything someone could want, and also knowing she’s horrible. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be in that situation.
Now for speculation time. I anticipate he will never speak out one way or the other
I’m pretty sure she’s currently facing up to 45,000 euros in fines and up to 5 years in jail over the whole Imane Khelif situation, if the French legislature decides that she was a party responsible for cyber bullying (and Musk as well).
Will she ever see the inside of a cell, even if they decide to go after her? I highly doubt it, and when she said this, she definitely wasn’t in any danger of being arrested.
J.K. Rowling is not getting arrested for her speech as evidenced by the fact that she hasn’t been yet. Until she says “Kill them right now I demand it. Kill people who identify as trans. I am calling for violence” no one will do a damn thing. And even then she might get away with it.
I bet she’ll be walking free no matter what timeline you want to set. It’s a safe bet for me.
Expressions of hatred toward someone on account of that person’s colour, race, sex, disability, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, or sexual orientation, but not transgender status is forbidden.
“Nobody is going to jail you for your dumbass opinions. I wish they would, because that would be hilarious to me.” I wish I could say that in her face.

Maybe he’s a she now and that’s why Rowling became so toxic. Just like with Musk.

But we can always dream.
Not the UK though. Too chicken shit to enforce it. Beside, they also allow for the discrimination of the trans community, they aren’t protected IIRC.
Oh no, this poor rich woman! How will she ever afford a fine that is .00007% of her net worth?!
She lives in the UK where you absolutely can go to prison for expressing hateful views.

fucking lol
Going out of your way to specifically exclude trans people from the laws that protect all other vulnerable groups like that is some NUCLEAR bigotry!
My mind played a record scratch at the end. Just why?
What the fuck?
