"Transgender Broadcaster Reports J.K. Rowling to Police Over Social Media Comments"

TV personality India Willoughby has reported J.K. Rowling to UK police for misgendering her on social media, calling it a hate crime. Rowling responded, claiming she has a defamation case against Willoughby and defending her gender-critical views. This incident is the latest in a series of controversies surrounding Rowling's anti-trans rhetoric, dating back to 2019. Willoughby described Rowling's post as dehumanizing and highlighted the lack of seriousness towards transphobia in the UK. Transgender identity is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.
