The world we live in has gone insane in the membrane. If you’re a 90s kid, you know the song lyrics I just quoted and now it’s probably going to be stuck in your head. No apologies from me, sucker.
Anyway, in a prime example that clearly demonstrates we are living in a world gone mad, author JK Rowling, creator of the best-selling “Harry Potter’ series, had the cops called on her by transgender activist India Willoughby, who is a biological man identifying as a woman. saying Rowling committed a hate crime against him by referring to him as a man. Like I just did.
However, the threat did not have the desired effect as Rowling refused to apologize or change her wording, proving once again that she’s as hardcore as they come when transgendered individuals try to drag the rest of the world into their delusions.
Willoughby attempted to explain the whole situation during an interview with Byline News.
“She knows I’m a woman and she calls me a man,” Willoughby whined during the interview. “It’s a protected characteristic and that is a breach of both the Equalities Act and the Gender Recognition Act,” the activist continued, referring to United Kingdom standards.
Hate to break it to you, bud, but if you have male chromosomes, you are most definitely not a lady. You are a dude. It’s ludicrous that these folks want everyone else to affirm their mental illness and delusions. This would have never been acceptable when psychology and psychiatry were serious disciplines.

A Community Note was added on Twitter under the interview clip, stating that it is not a crime to refer to a trans-identifying person by their sex, as such speech is recognized as a belief and protected under the Equality Act.
“I’ve been to the police and I’ve reported it as an issue,” the former “Big Brother” contestant prattled on in his complaint. “I don’t know if that’s going to be treated as a hate crime or malicious communications, but it’s a cut-and-dried offense as far as I’m concerned, and at the end of the day it is a hate crime.”
“Calling a trans person a man, deliberately, knowing that person is a woman… is grossly offensive,” Willoughby added.
Rowling was not about to take that garbage, so she fired back with a series of posts on X.
Surprisingly for such an eminent legal authority, he appears to have forgotten that the Forstater ruling established that gender critical views can be protected in law as a philosophical belief. No law compels anyone to pretend to believe that India is a woman. 4/5

“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,” she shared with her 14 million followers.
“I ignored this advice because I couldn’t be bothered giving India the publicity he so clearly craves. Nevertheless, we must all do our bit to combat hate, so India will be glad to know I’ve taken note of his homophobia, racism, and humane stance on immigration,” Rowling added in the thread.
“Nor have I forgotten India’s shocking transphobia. It appears to have slipped what passes for India’s mind that he’s previously called a fellow trans woman a man on this very site,” she wrote, sharing a series of screenshots to prove her point.
The Harry Potter author then said, “Surprisingly for such an eminent legal authority, he appears to have forgotten that the Forstater ruling established that gender critical views can be protected in law as a philosophical belief. No law compels anyone to pretend to believe that India is a woman.”
“Aware as I am that it’s an offence to lie to law enforcement, I’ll simply have to explain to the police that, in my view, 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,” she wrote in conclusion.
