British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak supports J.K. Rowling amid criticism of Scotland's new hate crime law.

Rowling's tweets that referred to transgender women as men will not result in any action against her under this law, as confirmed by Police Scotland.

The hate crime law is intended to protect people from hatred but has sparked concerns regarding its impact on freedom of speech.

Scottish ministers have stated that misgendering will not constitute an offence, but there is still apprehension about the law potentially suppressing certain viewpoints.

The ongoing debate underscores the complex balance between safeguarding freedom of speech and protecting marginalized groups through hate crime legislation.
