That's excellent news. I don't know how the goofy ass Scottish legal system works but I would imagine that anything Rowling said could be said by anyone else without it being criminal right? Would that mean that any time a troon starts harassing someone could just quote her from now on?
In theory, yes. If such a case ever made it to court, a defendant could plausibly claim JKRs tweets as precedent for the non-criminality of calling troons men. And that indeed is a great victory, and a massive fail for Himdia and the dumb paki arsehole.
But often these cases are not made to be won in court, but to drag normal mums through a lengthy, humiliating and frightening process that result in no conviction. The process is the punishment.
