Rowling also quote-tweeted a picture of Sturgeon speaking to a young girl while kneeling, writing, “‘Do you agree that a convicted double rapist who decided he was a woman after appearing in court belongs in a women’s prison, or are you a nasty, far right bigot?’”
In December 2022, Sturgeon blocked a law that would prohibit rapists and child abusers from “changing sex” amidst heated discussions and disagreements about Scotland’s so-called gender reform bill. Rowling believes in protecting women’s spaces, especially from men who have a violent past, leaving her rightfully furious about the fact that this male rapist was suddenly allowed to be put in a women’s prison. Bryson’s estranged wife told the Daily Mail she believes that he became transgender in order to have an easier time in an all-female prison.
“Never once did he say anything to me about feeling he was in the wrong body or anything. I have a lot of sympathy for real transgender people, it’s a hard thing to live with, but he’s just bullsh*****g the authorities,” she said.
Rowling tweeted on Wednesday, “Men defining what a woman is, what women should and shouldn’t fear, what women should and shouldn’t say, what rights women should be fine with giving up and, of course, what constitutes ‘real’ misogyny: get a bloody mirror. That’s real misogyny, looking right back at you.”
