She lives in the UK where you absolutely can go to prison for expressing hateful views.
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.
