A broadcaster who identifies as the “world’s first transgender newsreader” reported J.K. Rowling to British police over “hateful” comments the author made on social media, sparking debate on misgendering issues and women’s rights.
British police said that on Thursday (March 7), they had received a complaint from India Willoughby, who often uses her platform to advocate for trans rights, alleging J.K. Rowling had committed a hate crime for misgendering her.
Willoughby made the accusation after Rowling posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday (March 4): “India didn’t become a woman. India is cosplaying a misogynistic male fantasy of what a woman is.”
