Baylor University’s ‘Harry Potter’ professor goes viral after blasting JK Rowling for ‘hatred of trans people’An English professor at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, went viral on X this week for tweeting about how students in his Harry Potter class have been discussing author J.K. Rowling’s alleged “hatred of trans people.””Today in my Harry Potter class [at Baylor], we had a hard and necessary conversation about JK Rowling and her hatred of trans- people,” Prof. Greg Garrett, the Carole Ann McDaniel Hanks Chair of Literature & Culture, tweeted on Tuesday.”We decided novelist Rowling, who wrote with compassion about diversity, equity, and inclusion, is worth our attention. Twitter Rowling? Shame on her.”Rowling made headlines earlier this week for tweeting out a list of biological men who identify as transgender women while calling them men and daring police in Scotland to arrest her for violating the country’s new Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act.The law, which went into effect April 1 and created a new criminal offense of “stirring up of hatred,” carries a penalty of up to seven years in prison, a £10,000 (about $12,500) fine or both. It defines hate crime as “any crime which is perceived by the victim, or any other person, to be motivated (wholly or partly) by malice and ill-will towards a social group” and enables police to log alleged “hate incidents.”
