Goodbye, Hogwarts — hello, prison?
J.K. Rowling claims she would “happily” serve jail time over her negative views about transgender women.
The “Harry Potter” author bluntly dismissed the transgender community Tuesday on X when she posted a photo of a message — “Repeat after us: Trans Women are Women” — that was projected onto the offices of the British Ministry of Justice.
“No,” Rowling, 58, bluntly wrote before expounding further in a thread.
“I’ll happily do two years if the alternative is compelled speech and forced denial of the reality and importance of sex,” Rowling continued on X. “Bring on the court case, I say. It’ll be more fun than I’ve ever had on a red carpet.”
Her rant followed a weekend report that a Labour government in Britain could make not calling someone by their preferred pronouns a criminal offense.
“See you on the inside,” one fan responded to her post. “I quite fancy the kitchens.”
“Hoping for the library, obviously, but I think I could do ok in the kitchen,” Rowling joked back. “Laundry might be a problem. I have a tendency to shrink stuff/turn it pink accidentally. Guessing that won’t be a major issue if it’s mostly scrubs and sheets, though.”
The Post has contacted Rowling for comment.
Rowling first sparked controversy in 2017 when she liked a tweet that condemned trans rights.
She defended herself — and doubled down on her views — in a lengthy essay in 2020.
Since then she’s been steadfast in her oppositional opinions regarding transgender people, even dismissing concern that she lost fans because of her controversial comments earlier this year.
“Deeply amused by those telling me I’ve lost their admiration due to the disrespect I show violent, duplicitous rapists,” she wrote on social media in January.
“I shall file your lost admiration carefully in the box where I keep my missing f–ks.”
