She’s probably safe. Those of us with neither a billion dollars nor 14 million twitter followers, on the other hand, should worry.
Yeah, but the title is great… and seriously? What is the effect of this? If I make a derogatory post now that they deem violates the law, am I at risk of arrest when we do our British Isles trip in 2025?

They're highly unlikely to arrest American tourists. Just make sure you wear hideously garish sneakers, say everything at the top of your voice and spend lots of money, tipping like an asshole. Don't forget to tell them how much you love this part of England, and ask where you can buy a kilt. The Scots will freaking love you.

Apparently she’s planning on pushing the issue.
I find it interesting that she made the distinction that if a “woman” is arrested, she will say the same thing and force their hands…

Douglas Murray weighs in with support of Rowling:

Murray and Rowling are two peas in a pod in the sense that both enjoy a fight against a self-righteous mob. A rare quality in humans. Most of us are strongly wired to get along with the mob. Which has its roots in evolution, when getting along with the mob was of existential importance to any individual.
Education is extremely important.

I don't think it's just that. Rowling's kind of big on women's safety due to some nasty stuff that's happened to her personally, and that's where a lot of her opinions on transgenderism are coming from.
But yeah she also has a lot of F.U. money which kind of helps.

Would the trans-mania ever been a "thing" without the internet?

Well, it's Web 2.0. Social media platforms reward being first. So if you can gin up a mob, you get a ton of recognition, support and hell even brand deals.
