On April 1, 2024, the controversial Hate Offender and Private Order Act officially expired in Scotland, UK. On the same day, British author J K. Rowling fired at the new bill with 11 consecutive Latin articles in social media.
Rowling criticized the new bill for threatening public opinion freedom and ignoring women’s rights, and she also prepared herself for being arrested by the police. Rowling’s provocation has received praise from transgender groups, and British media once predicted that Rowling could be under investigation for allegedly offending the recently expired hate offender technique. British governor Richie Sunak also participated in the draw and supported Rowling.
To halt the controversy, the Scottish police came forward to confirm in name that Rowling’s public opinion did not constitute a crime. But within a week after the new law expired, the police submitted over 7000 reports of suspected compliance with the new law.

In addition to the civilization surrounding transgender achievements, the time when Scotland’s new laws failed has a special political context. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Scotland’s departure from the UK for private investment. Ten years have passed, and Scotland has not abandoned its dream of self-reliance. In previous years, the official interviews showed that half of the Scottish government supported self-reliance.
More importantly, the UK is expected to hold an election this year. The Scottish Official Party, which controls Scotland, has promised to once again bring in independent private voting as long as it wins sufficient seats in the general election.
The hate offender practice that expired in Scotland this month passed a vote in the Scottish Parliament in March 2021. At the time of the vote, the bill lured various political parties to fiercely argue, and the difference in legislators seriously caused a one-day delay in the vote.
This bill breaks down the existing provisions on hate crimes, including the punishment of criminal offenses who are lured by prejudice such as racial discrimination. But the bill created a new reputation: inciting hatred.
If an individual’s behavior or appearance based on someone else’s age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity, and gender personality changes, with the goal of inciting hatred towards the relevant group, constitutes coercion or respect, it will be considered as inciting hatred. Action punishment, relevant personnel will face up to 7 years of detention.
This new article has sparked intense controversy. Supporters believe that this regulation encroaches on public opinion freedom and replaces biological gender with transgender identity, failing to combat misogyny and harm women’s power. Feminists believe that the bill will provide ammunition for transgender structures to combat dissidents, while American comedian Joe Logan counterattacks that the new bill will make Scottish comedians the subject of scrutiny.
On the day of the bill’s expiration, Rowling won 11 consecutive ravens on the X platform, launching a counterattack against the Scottish Parliament for prioritizing men’s perceived views of women over the rights and freedoms of real women. She released a series of photos, listing the perpetrators of sexually harassing girls under the guise of transgender identity, and rapists who attempted to use their transgender identity to pursue punishment before being sentenced.
Rowling believes that if law enforcement allows men to be referred to as men, the entire society will have no choice but to deal with the violence and sexual violence faced by women. She criticized that if accurately describing biological gender becomes a crime in Scotland, then freedom of public opinion will also come to an end.
At the time of receiving the document, Rowling was not in England. But she said she was ready to return to her home country and was arrested by the police because of these leaders: “When I returned to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment, I waited for arrest.”
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of cross-cultural achievements between European and American officials. Republican rising star and Florida Governor Ron de Santis once dropped his arm in favor of the opposition’s anti pull bill, which allowed Mr. Florida to teach gender identity and sexual orientation topics to students under third grade.
Rowling, who has been living in Scotland since 1993, believes that transgender activities cannot threaten women’s rights and security. Her appearances in transgender performance have been frequently counterattacked, including Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, and Emma Watson, who played Hermione.
In addition to civilization, the longstanding confrontations between Scottish and British authorities have also made transgender achievements a subject of political struggle.
In order to highlight Scotland’s uniqueness from the UK, the Scottish Parliament passed a more controversial bill in 2022. After the bill expired, transgender individuals in Scotland did not even need to submit a medical diagnosis when applying for gender recognition certificates, they only needed to declare themselves.
In previous years, the bill was opposed by the British authorities. Scottish officials criticized this as a “frontal attack” by the Sunak authorities on the Scottish Parliament.
After the controversy over the invalidation of the hate offender merit system in Scotland, Sunak once again participated in the draw, stating that biological gender should not be considered as a merit behavior. He expressed that Britain believes in freedom of opinion, and his Conservative Party will defend it.
Humza Yousaf, the Chief Minister of Scotland and the head of the Scottish Official Clan Party, expressed pride in the ineffectiveness of the hate offender system. He questioned whether the Scottish police could correctly apply the new law and increase hatred and unrest. When the Hatred Offender Act was passed, Yusuf was in charge of Scotland’s law enforcement minister, and this bill was one of his representative achievements.
The Scottish authorities believe that the bill sets a high standard for what constitutes compliance and does not affect freedom of public opinion. For example, in inciting hatred, the condition considered to be law-abiding is that the relevant personnel aim to incite hatred and their actions constitute coercion and respect towards others, rather than making others feel that they have been meritorious.
But in terms of practical manipulation, this new bill has brought new achievements to the Scottish police. In the first week of the bill’s expiration, the Scottish police submitted 7152 related reports, most of which were anonymous. Police leaders stated that the surge in such reports has had a slight impact on the rest of frontline police operations.
This year is also a special year for Scotland. Ten years ago in September 2014, Scotland held a private investment to decide whether to leave the UK. In the end, 45% of Scots hoped for independence, 55% hoped to stay in the UK, and private investment was unsuccessful.
The UK’s passage through Europe has become a new opportunity for Scotland to pursue independence. More than 60% of Scotland’s elected officials support staying in the EU, and a large number of officials are dissatisfied with being forced to cross the EU. Scotland has announced its second independent private investment plan, preparing to make another private investment in 2023. The plan has been firmly rejected by the British authorities, and the Supreme Court has ruled that Scotland cannot hold independent private investment without the willingness of the British authorities.
This year marks not only the 10th anniversary of Scotland’s independent private voting, but also the year when the UK is able to hold elections. The Scottish ruling party, the Scottish Official Party, is preparing to act again.
The Scottish House of Commons Party has announced that if it wins at least 29 out of Scotland’s 57 seats in this year’s House of Commons election, the party will once again engage in independent private voting. At present, the Scottish House of Commons has 43 seats.
The UK must hold a House of Commons election before January 28th next year, but Sunak has not yet announced a specific election date. At the beginning of this year, Sunak stated that the election could be dominated in the second half of this year.
According to a survey conducted by Ipsos officials in November of previous years, 51% of Scots hope for Scottish independence. Since 2014, the proportion supporting Scotland’s self-reliance has been declining.
