He said: “I’m going to kill JK Rowling with a big hammer.

"JK Rowling is very horrible and I hate her so much.”

In a message to Labour MP Rosie Duffield, also opposed to trans reforms, he said: “I’m going to kill Rosie Duffield with a big gun. I hate her so much.”

Mullen, of Manchester, admitted two charges of sending a communication conveying a threatening message.

He was bailed for sentencing on June 4.

Westminster chief magistrate Paul Goldspring said: “You will get credit for your early guilty plea.

“I accept that you entered it at the earliest possible opportunity.

“The threats are so serious that I am considering immediate custody.

“I know nothing about you.

“I need to find out about the motivation for your offending.”
