Trans-hating ‘parody of JK Rowling’ was created by Police Scotland officers

A fictional trans-hating character called “Jo”, who women’s groups claim is an offensive parody of JK Rowling, was invented by Police Scotland officers, it has emerged.

The national force faced scrutiny this week over a “scenario” presented at an official hate crime event in which “Jo”, a gender-critical campaigner who, like Rowling, has a large social media following, states that trans people should be sent to gas chambers.

Women’s groups said the revelation raised new doubts over the ability of police to impartially enforce new hate crime laws, which come into force on April 1.

They say the fictional narrative written by officers is offensive as it reinforces inaccurate claims commonly made by trans-rights activists that gender-critical campaigners such as Rowling have been radicalised.

The story also validates unfounded conspiracies that such women wish to physically harm or even kill trans people and have links to the far-Right.
