<p>&#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author J.K. Rowling unloaded on court systems that she said were embracing calls to address criminals by the gender with which they identify – even if that means a female rape victim would be asked to address her male rapist or alleged rapist as &#8220;she&#8221; or &#8220;her.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rowling was responding to the news out of South Australia, where the courts have endorsed the use of preferred pronouns during regular courtroom proceedings as a &#8220;matter of respect&#8221; going forward, stating that the move was necessary for &#8220;ensuring public confidence in the proper administration of justice,&#8221; according to The Australian.</p>
<p>&#8220;Asking a woman to refer to her male rapist or violent assaulter as &#8216;she&#8217; in court is a form of state-sanctioned abuse. Female victims of male violence are further traumatised by being forced to speak a lie,&#8221; Rowling said in a post on X.</p>
<p>The court in South Australia released a <a href="https://www.courts.sa.gov.au/2023/11/06/courts-issue-a-practice-note-about-pronunciation-of-names-and-gender-pronounscourt-operating-hours-from-22-december-2023-2-2/#:~:text=For%20many%20decades%2C%20the%20courts,which%20caused%20the%20victim%20distress">statement</a> saying, “Unfortunately, Ms Rowling has misunderstood the protocol&#8221; — although the fact remains that the policy as she described it has been applied in other jurisdictions.</p>

<p>Critics quickly attacked Rowling, who has often been the target of radical transgender activists due to her insistence on protecting single-sex spaces for women and sex-based rights. She responded to some and highlighted the hateful comments of others.</p>
<p>When one person said that she couldn&#8217;t imagine being compelled to do something like that, Rowling said she wouldn&#8217;t be cowed into complying. &#8220;Personally, I wouldn&#8217;t be compelled, I&#8217;d take contempt of court. It&#8217;s time for mass non-compliance with this bull***t,&#8221; she said.</p>

<p>&#8220;Is this actually happening in current cases or just hypothetically has the potential of happening given the law?&#8221; another asked, and Rowling responded with an example.</p>
<p>&#8220;It has happened. Here&#8217;s one UK example, where a judge told a woman who was beaten up by a trans-identified male that she showed &#8216;bad grace&#8217; by refusing to call her attacker &#8216;she&#8217; in court,&#8221; she posted.</p>

<p>Rowling followed that with several screenshots showing the hateful comments directed at her for suggesting that a male rapist should not get to force his victim to refer to him as &#8220;she.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;A very small sampling of what happens when you say on Twitter that compelling a woman to call her rapist or violent male attacker ‘she’ in court is state-sanctioned abuse,&#8221; she said.</p>

<p>&#8220;B**** better hope her house is safe,&#8221; one profanity-laced post concluded. &#8220;A lot of things can happen that look like accidents.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another claimed that Rowling was saying that all trans-identifying men were rapists.</p>
