JK Rowling Claims Sturgeon Created a 'Dystopian Nightmare' in Foul-Mouthed Review of Frankly

JK Rowling sharply critiques Nicola Sturgeon’s memoir, accusing her of denying risks in transgender policies and causing lasting harm in the ongoing debate over trans rights.

  • On Thursday, JK Rowling launched a profanity-filled critique of Nicola Sturgeon's memoir 'Frankly' on her website as it premiered at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
  • JK Rowling said her aim was to compel journalists to confront Sturgeon with questions grassroots feminists had been raising and that the First Minister had 'treated with contempt'.
  • Rowling branded Sturgeon a 'complete f***kwit' and accused her of being 'flat out Trumpian' in her denial of facts, highlighting omitted funds and issues she criticizes.
  • Sturgeon’s representatives declined to comment on Rowling’s critique as her review coincided with her appearance alongside broadcaster Kirsty Wark at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
  • Next year, Sturgeon will leave the Scottish Parliament and highlights her exoneration in the Operation Branchform inquiry, amid ongoing legal rulings on gender protections.
