Author J.K. Rowling has suggested that she would “happily” spend two years in prison instead of being “forced” to refer to biological males as “women.”

Ms. Rowling, who is best known for the “Harry Potter” book series, made the comment on X, formerly Twitter, on Oct. 19, seemingly in response to reports that a Labour government in the United Kingdom could make it a criminal offense to not call someone by the pronouns they identify with.
