J.Okay. Rowling is again at it once more — however this time as a substitute of getting canceled on-line, her feedback received taken straight to the police!
On Thursday a bombshell interview dropped on British newspaper web site Byline TV by which the visitor, a notable broadcaster and trans girl named India Willoughby, expressed how drained she is of the Harry Potter writer “misgendering” her and dragging her right into a transphobic narrative. She instructed the host:
“J.K. Rowling has definitely committed a crime. I’m legally a woman. She knows I’m a woman and she calls me a man. It’s a protected characteristic.”
See her full assertion (beneath):
What India is referring to is how earlier within the week the disgraced writer went on a rant on her X (Twitter) about how she doesn’t consider trans girls must be allowed in girls’s altering rooms, and for no matter motive determined to call drop the journalist:
“India didn’t become a woman. India is cosplaying a misogynistic male fantasy of what a woman is.”
Disgusting!

Because of those terrible feedback, the 58-year-old newsreader determined to take her criticism to Northumbria Police, and states she believes it could possibly be a violation of the UK’s Equalities Act and Gender Recognition Act — and categorized as a hate crime. Of course, J.Okay. couldn’t maintain her fingers off social media, and went on to confer with India as a “male” and accused her of harassment in her response, writing:
“Some time ago, lawyers advised me that not only did I have a clearly winnable case against India Willoughby for defamation, but that India’s obsessive targeting of me over the past few years may meet the legal threshold for harassment … India is a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can’t compel women to take him at his own valuation.”
See her full, long-winded rant (beneath):
Some time in the past, attorneys suggested me that not solely did I’ve a clearly winnable case towards India Willoughby for defamation, however that India’s obsessive focusing on of me over the previous few years might meet the authorized threshold for harassment. 1/5 https://t.co/kMSMBWO7gm

Despite the backwards and forwards between J.Okay. and India, police launched a response to Byline by means of a spokesperson, who mentioned the complaints towards J.Okay. didn’t meet “criminal threshold”:
“On Monday, March 4, we received a complaint about a post on social media. While we recognise the upset this may have caused, the post was reviewed and did not meet the criminal threshold. The complainant has been updated of this.”
So she will get to proceed referring to India as a male regardless of her authorized standing as a girl?? Wow.
What do U take into consideration this, Perezcious readers? Let us know within the feedback (beneath).
