Not many details but Sarah Phillmore has tweeted that a woman has been told to present herself to the police.

I wish all women in Scotland would be really offensive about TRA's and get themselves called in - it would be a wonderful protest especially if they all identified as transmen

Oh ffs. Is anyone at all surprised that this involves a woman, a tweet and accusations of transphobia? Cause I'm not.

X is being told to 'present herself for interview' re a transphobic/homophobic tweet which is a 'hate crime'.
Not clear to me if she is being arrested. I assume advice would be a) refuse to go unless arrested b)offer no comment interview.

I hope that they are able to obtain advice from somebody specialised in Scots law.

It didn't take long, did it albeit I've no idea what is complained of (and I can understand that referring to/linking that tweet would be inappropriate - although, if it isn't, that is a chilling effect).
