JK Rowling has made a bold statement slamming First Minister Nicola Sturgeon after a gender recognition legislation was passed by the Scottish Government.
The Harry Potter author, who has been outspoken about the trans community in recent years, reacted to the news that the majority of MSPs on the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee recommended the general principles of the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill should be approved.
The legislation has proved to be controversial as it allows an easier process for transgender people to be legally recognised as their preferred gender.
On Thursday, Rowling shared a photo of herself wearing a black T-shirt with the words ‘Nicola Sturgeon destroyer of women’s rights’ on the front.
