Judy Murray has backed JK Rowling in an ongoing trans rights rowJudy Murray has backed JK Rowling in an ongoing row over Scotland's hate crime laws after the Harry Potter author warned against 'dismantling' women's rights in a lengthy social media post.

Rowling continued: 'I am strongly against women's and girls' rights and protections being dismantled to accommodate trans-identified men'. She then concluded: 'I think the safety and rights of girls and women are more important than those men's desire for validation.' David Kennedy, the general secretary of Scotland's police federation, has been heavily critical of Humza Yousaf's shambolic hate crime laws.

It comes after the Mail on Sunday revealed that police in Scotland have been swamped with almost 8,000 complaints since the introduction of the hate crime laws.
