Transgender rights and freedom of expression

Britain’s first transgender broadcaster, India Willoughby, filed a police report against J.K. Rowling for “misgendering.” Rowling declined to use Willoughby’s preferred pronouns and openly mocked the broadcaster on Twitter. The U.K.’s Crown Prosecution Service labels hostility to transgenders a “hate crime,” but “misgendering” is not included. Rowling argued that Willoughby’s actions constitute harassment.
