Richard Dawkins, who rose to fame for criticizing religious dogma, praised author J.K. Rowling for openly defying transgender ideology and hate speech legislation in Scotland.

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who gained fame for his books about atheism and evolution, praised Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling for challenging Scotland’s new hate speech law. Dawkins, who this fall is set to release a new book, 'The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie,' recently praised Rowling on the latest episode of his podcast for challenging transgender ideology as a new hate crime law appeared to imply such rhetoric was illegal.
