    After Scotland's Hate Crime law comes into force (it apparently makes calling a trans woman a biological male - even in private - a potential criminal offence), JK Rowling calls 11 trans women biological males and dares the police to arrest her.

    Apparently the first report was against Police Scotland and the First Minister.

    (Not Trans debate, but funny ... )

    Court to decide if Ontario must pay for surgery to make vagina if patient also wants to keep penis

    Court to decide if Ontario must pay for surgery to make vagina if patient also wants to keep penis

    A non-binary Ontario resident is locked in a legal battle over public funding for surgery to create a vagina while leaving the penis intact

    I was going to say he can go fuck himself, but won't...

    this was all over by tea time yesterday with Police Scotland confirming that no laws had been broken in the above thread, i.e. its still legal to say a transwoman is a man (i still can't believe i need to write that down in 2024).

    One caveat however, we have yet to find out if the above has been recorded as a non crime hate incident (what even is that for fucks sake?). Problem with these for normal people is that they will be recorded and accessible and can be used in the future to monitor a pattern of behaviour etc. Personally i find it outrageous that the police will record these however I also think its unsustainable and will disappear in due course.

    As crazy as Scotland is, I am still grateful to be living in the UK rather than Canada or Australia. Still watching Tickle vs Giggle with interest.

    I heard yesterday the Police in Scotland are actively investigating a complaint against someone for criticizing Israel's activities in Gaza on the basis it stirred up hate against Israelis living in Scotland.

    Madness and/or "be careful what you wish for"

    One caveat however, we have yet to find out if the above has been recorded as a non crime hate incident (what even is that for fucks sake?). Problem with these for normal people is that they will be recorded and accessible and can be used in the future to monitor a pattern of behaviour etc.

    Think that's been banned in England/Wales and likely to be banned in Scotland when challenged in the Supreme Court.

    re the last point, Murdo Fraser (Scottish Tory MSP) is currently taking this to court having discovered he has a NCHI recorded against him from the back end of last year - lets hope that brings the end of this nonsense sooner rather than later

    No NCHI logged apparently. This new law is already not being policed as it’s written, their actions are inconsistent with what was happening before it passed - it’s all bat shit mental.

    I think the best framing of this is they aren't hate speech laws, they are blasphemy laws.

    It’s genuinely staggering that JK Rowling has single handedly blown up this law and its policing in just 24 hours. The woman is a fucking machine. The TRAs are now claiming it was never going to be a crime or even an NCHI to misgender someone, and everyone knew that, except they didn’t, the government and the police have both refused to confirm this before this week. The Scottish government actively refused to accept an amendment that would protect women’s rights to say it on the behest of the trans lobby.

    JK Rowling by stating loud and proud that trans women are men, by challenging the state to arrest her, by highlighting how farcical the whole thing is, by drawing global attention to it, by offering to repeat any other woman’s claim who gets investigated for similar has single handedly cut it off at the knees. Outside of Martin Johnson and Jonny, I don’t really do hero worship but fuck me she’s amazing.
