Social media comments made by JK Rowling are not being treated as criminal, Police Scotland has said.
Reacting to the news, Ms Rowling posted on X "I hope every woman in Scotland who wishes to speak up for the reality and importance of biological sex will be reassured by this announcement, and I trust that all women - irrespective of profile or financial means - will be treated equally under the law.
"If they go after any woman for simply calling a man a man, I'll repeat that woman's words and they can charge us both at once."
Katie Neeves, a man who was appointed a UN Women UK delegate, was mentioned by Ms Rowling in a previous thread on X.
The author claimed Mr Neeves "switched from straight man to lesbian at the age of 48".
Mr Neeves told BBC News he was "very disappointed" with Police Scotland.
He said: "JK Rowling is a bully and this act was designed to stop bullying, and if they're not going to enforce it then that's very disappointing."
"She listed me and some other trans people along with some sex offenders and put it out to 14 million of her followers.
"That was inciting hatred and it resulted in me receiving thousands of messages of hate. So it's done what she set out for it to do."
Mr Neeves said the story had been published all over the world and was "all misinformation about me".
She added: "It's horrible and it's really harmful."
Ms Neeves also confirmed she would be making a complaint to the police but had not done so yet.
Interesting that this Fella is See-ing Sense = = Isn't he really a Lefty ? ! Jonathan Pie is a character he created. He’s not a real lefty.
