As Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon continues to push to enshrine gender self-identification in law, Scotland is set to become a difficult place to access women-only spaces and services.
J. K. Rowling, the billionaire author of the Harry Potter series, has already signaled her disapproval by wearing a T-shirt displaying the message, “Nicola Sturgeon, destroyer of women’s rights.” Now, just days before Sturgeon’s law is set to pass, Rowling has announced the launch of a support and advocacy service for victims of sexual violence. Beira’s Place, in Edinburgh, is personally funded by Rowling and will remain female only.
