JK Rowling takes her role as the H.T.I.C. (Head Transphobe In Charge) very seriously. As Scotland passed ridiculous new “hate crime” laws, the Harry Potter author attempted to see how many activists she could thread together on X-Twitter that, under Scotland law, it is now illegal for you to criticize and make fun of on the internets.

At issue is the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021. According to the BBC, it now carries a penalty of up to seven years in prison if you’re found to be “stirring up hatred” relating to “age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex.”

A person commits an offence if they communicate material, or behave in a manner, “that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive,” with the intention of stirring up hatred based on the protected characteristics.

The bar for this offence is lower than for the other protected characteristics, as it also includes “insulting” behaviour, and as the prosecution need only prove that stirring up hatred was “likely” rather than “intended”.

So, like, when Rowling spoke out in defense of a Scottish woman who thought men should be excluded from women’s rape centers and even opened her own women’s rape center that excluded “women” who have a penis, she would run afoul of the law. Unclear is whether the Scottish parade organizers who banned drag queens from a Pride parade because they offended trans people would be guilty of violating the Act as well.

With the passing of the law, the now former progressive icon (slacktivists would identify as Hogwarth’s sects to declare how they were resisting Trump) was, of course, hilariously insufferable about it.

Rowling presented quite the collection of beautiful and brave specimens.

Such beautiful! Much brave!
