NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Megyn Kelly has raised concerns about the potential trajectory of the United States, drawing parallels to Scotland where author JK Rowling faced threats of arrest under a new law aimed at safeguarding transgender individuals from hate speech.

The former Fox News anchor has pledged to be Rowling's advocate should her assertions about gender identity lead to censorship under Scotland's legislation.

Kelly cautioned that the US appears to be mirroring Scotland's path, with "far too many blue states" approaching similar territory.

"Make no mistake – we are heading for a showdown here, too, on this issue," she warned, "And it's imperative that we win."

Scotland's recent legislation includes transgenderism among legally protected characteristics, rendering it a criminal offense punishable by up to seven years in prison to incite hatred against an individual based on their gender identity.

Rowling provocatively challenged authorities to arrest her as the legislation took effect, initiating a lengthy and satirical 'April Fool' thread on Twitter, wherein she criticized various transgender individuals, including criminals, activists, and athletes.

"Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them," she asserted.

Living in Edinburgh, the Scottish capital, Rowling swiftly drew police attention upon the law's enactment on April 1.

However, Kelly assured her that she could freely express herself in the United States.

"Whatever true fact you need said about the gender cult, just shoot me a note and I will say it on the air on my show to millions," Kelly offered on her podcast.

"Scotland can't imprison those of us on this side of the pond; (for now) we still have free speech in America, which is why I can say: Men cannot become women. He's are not she's," she said.

"Those surgical wounds are not vaginas. Facial feminization will never make a man female. Men who play women's sports are vile cheaters," Kelly fumed.

"Men do not belong in women's bathrooms, locker rooms, sororities, prisons or OBGYN offices. Men cannot have babies. Chest feeding is child abuse," she added.

Megyn Kelly applauded for speaking 'facts' amidst controversy

Social media lit up with a flurry of responses to the hosts' statements, as users across various platforms weighed in with their opinions and reactions.

One person wrote, "Thank you Megyn Kelly for being brave for speaking the facts!" Another said, "I love Megyn when she goes on her rants. She is a straight savage!! If only more people were as brave as her. Even many “conservative” men won’t even dare to speak up as much as Megyn does on this transgenderism nonsense. Keep it up Megyn!!!"
