Before JK Rowling fell into the anti-trans blackhole, she campaigned against Scottish independence.
She helped bankroll the campaign to keep Scotland in the UK, and a lot of pro-independence campaigners who were fans felt disappointed and let down.
During the campaign she referred to pro-independence voters as death eaters, and became good friends with misogynists who frequently targeted women in political roles (councillor or member of Parliament)
Scotland recently passed a law to reform the Gender Recognition Act. This makes this process for trans people in Scotland easier by reducing the bureaucratic red-tape and invasive procedures that people have to jump through to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate.
JK Rowling and her bigoted friends have been attacking this legislation and trans people for some time.
The British Government, in an unprecedented move, have decided they are going to block the legislation. They have not done this to any law since the Scottish Parliament was reinstated.
Scotland leans more to the left than England does. By doing this the British government (and the opposition parties that aren’t fighting against it) are surrendering the progressive case for the United Kingdom to still exist.
If they can override this law, they can override any law. With over 50% of Scotland supporting independence and younger, more progressive people becoming eligible to vote every day, the death of the United Kingdom is inevitable.
