J.K. Rowling is not getting arrested for her speech as evidenced by the fact that she hasn’t been yet. Until she says “Kill them right now I demand it. Kill people who identify as trans. I am calling for violence” no one will do a damn thing. And even then she might get away with it.

I bet she’ll be walking free no matter what timeline you want to set. It’s a safe bet for me.

Expressions of hatred toward someone on account of that person's colour, race, sex, disability, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, or sexual orientation, but not transgender status is forbidden.

Going out of your way to specifically exclude trans people from the laws that protect all other vulnerable groups like that is some NUCLEAR bigotry!
