Wait… is that really on the table? If so, then I grudgingly have to take her side insofar as objecting to prior restraint or compelled speech. Being an asshole is a fundamental human right.
It was not on the table.
Some rando posted on her Shitter account "vote for Labour, get two years" and Rowling responded with the quote in the headline.
If you read the article, they clarify that the Labour party wants to crack down on LGBTQ hate crimes, and nowhere is it said that they would make it illegal to use improper pronouns for others.
As fundamental as not having to put up with assholes.
You wanna do it? Go do it over there where no one else has to put up with your shit
There is no right to not have to put up with assholes.
You wanna do it? Go do it over there where no one else has to put up with your shit
Exercising your rights, I see.
There is as much right to be an asshole as there is to not put up with assholes

No. It isn't on the table. This is another in the long line of scenarios that only exist in TERFs imaginations.
