J.K. Rowling won a significant victory over Scotland’s new speech restrictions after daring the police to arrest her over comments criticising transgender ideology, as Police Scotland said they would not take criminal actions against the Harry Potter author after activists reported her statements to law enforcement.

Successfully calling the bluff of the leftist government of First Minister Humza Yousaf, J.K. Rowling struck a stinging blow against the oppressive Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, after she goaded the police to arrest her as the bill came into law on Monday for insisting that transgender “women” are in reality still men.

Breitbart added that Rowling was already reported to Police Scotland for potentially breaching the new speech codes, which carry a prison sentence of up to seven years for “stirring up hatred” against protected groups, including the disabled, ethnic minorities, and the so-called LGBT community.

However, after receiving the reports, Police Scotland said per the Scottish Daily Express that officers will not take action against Rowling as the comments were “not assessed to be criminal.”

Responding, Rowling, wrote on X: “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.”

The feminist author and resident of Scotland went on to vow that she would stand by any other woman who runs afoul of the new speech codes, saying: “If they go after any woman for simply calling a man a man, I’ll repeat that woman’s words and they can charge us both at once.”

Previously, Scottish government minister Siobhian Brown suggested that “misgendering” transgender individuals online could lead to charges under the new law, however, said that it would be up to the discretion of the police.

Meanwhile, Police Scotland also announced that First Minister Humza Yousaf — the driving force behind the hate speech law — will also not face criminal charges after members of the public reported the leftist politician for a 2020 speech in parliament in which he complained that there were too many white people in the Scottish government following the killing of George Floyd in the United States.

The force said that it did not find anything within his comments to be “threatening, abusive or insulting” and claimed that there was no “malice or ill will displayed towards any person or group”.
