When you don’t tell an obvious truth, you let the liars win.
J K Rowling, the author of the brilliant Harry Potter books, is a stone liberal, one who decided to tell readers that Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, is homosexual. Miss Rowling never mentioned anything about her vision of Professor Dumbledore as being queer in the actual series of books, and the only mention of sexuality in the series is all about normal sexual interests.
Her description of how nerdy teenaged boys felt about having to ask out girls to the Yule Ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, when the main characters would have been 14-years-old, amazed me in how a middle-aged woman could so accurately portray a teenaged boy’s thinking and feelings and utter terrors at having to ask out a girl for the first time. But, even as liberal as she is, she understands that males cannot ‘transition’ into females, and vice-versa.
JK Rowling dares police to arrest her over SNP’s new hate crime law
Author’s comments come as party’s minister Siobhian Brown admits police could look into ‘misgendering’ complaints against author
by Simon Johnson, Scottish Political Editor | April Fool’s Day, 2024
JK Rowling has challenged Scotland’s police to arrest her under the SNP’s new hate crime laws after stating that a series of high-profile trans women are men.
While the headline links The Telegraph’s original, the article is hidden behind a paywall. I was able to read it, for free, through my MSN feed, and you can read it here as well.
The Harry Potter author, who lives in Edinburgh, tweeted: “Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.
“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.”
They¹ author made a series of posts about trans women.
If you click on the link, it will take you to a longer series of the tweets Miss Rowling made.
However, she did err in one regard: ‘trans women’ are male, to be sure, but they are most certainly not men!
By passing the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, Rowling said MSPs had “placed 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 said: “The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women’s and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.”
Her comments came after Siobhian Brown, the SNP’s community safety minister, initially stated that misgendering – for example calling a trans woman “he” – would “not at all” fall foul of the legislation.
But after being challenged over calls for Rowling to be prosecuted under the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, she then admitted it would be for the police to decide.
Here in the former Colonies have our own Constitution, one which protects our freedom of speech and the press and our free exercise of religion. We are able to say what Miss Rowling has said, without fear of being jailed, even if we don’t have Miss Rowling’s roughly $1 billion net worth. She can be brave on this, in the face of the #woke² legislation and activists who would use the force of law to punish those who would not comply.
Meanwhile, here in the Colonies, we have seen the silliness of a proclamation, doubtlessly written by an idiotic staffer, under President Joe Biden’s name, which declared that Easter Sunday, March 31th, was a “Transgender Day of Visibility.” Many asked why Easter Sunday, the holiest day of the year for Christians, would have been picked for that date by our (purportedly) devout Catholic President. As it happens, such proclamations have been set for March 31th for several years now, and I have my doubts that the doddering dummkopf from Delaware was even aware of the proclamation and statements sent out under his name. Were we under the Scottish Parliament’s laws, there would have been millions of us in violation, as the President’s proclamation was widely slammed.
This is my third article entitled, “Whenever there is a truth you cannot tell, that is a truth you must tell!”, because we really must tell the truth here: despite the Kinks’ saying that girls can be boys and boys can be girls, that really isn’t true, and it never was.
More, the “Transgender Day of Visibility” proves it isn’t true. If the transgendered actually do want to fit seamlessly into the sexes that they claim to be, why would any of them want a special day to point out the differences between the ‘transgendered’ and real members of the sexes they claim to be. Why would they want to separate themselves out and call attention to themselves in ways which show that they are not what they claim to be? I have asked this question before, and never gotten an answer.
We can have all of the sympathy in the world for those suffering from ‘gender dysphoria,’ but having sympathy for the ‘transgendered’ does not and should not mean that we ought to cater to their delusions.

² – From Wikipedia:
Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African-American Vernacular English expression “stay woke“, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues. By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes and ironic usage. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.
I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid.
