‘Woman’

I know. It was almost predictable.
The fight goes on.

There's been very little about this - council workers should be able to go about their business with fear of toxic substances. Can't believe it's reported as a woman.

Police (and media) are lying about the man’s sex.

I wonder what the substance was that led people to believe it was toxic enough that a street needed to be closed.

Surely obvious that they closed the street because they didn't know what it was - most adhesives/varnishes would give off a chemical smell as you tried to remove them

Wouldn't it be nice if this individual - if found guilty - was asked to pay towards the cost of the police response and the clean up operation.

Woman? Aye, right...

Wouldn’t it be nice if the police didn’t pretend men’s crimes were women’s.

It would. And you are probably correct that the "30 year old woman" is a 30 year old man in a dress. But I don't think name/photo has been released yet.

Adam (Eve) Shaw is a trans from Morningside, Edinburgh who was the subject of a high-profile Scottish court case.
The Trial: In July 2023, Mr Shaw stood trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. He was accused of sending a threatening social media message on X (formerly Twitter) directed at Joanna Cherry, who was then the SNP MP for Edinburgh South West.
The Message: The tweet in question stated, "STG [swear to God] I am gonna pop Joanna Cherry," in response to a news story about the politician. Cherry testified that she interpreted "pop" as a threat to be shot and felt it posed a serious risk to her safety.
The Verdict: Mr Shaw maintained that the post was not intended as a genuine threat. The sheriff acquitted Shaw, returning a verdict of not guilty.

The individual involved in the case around threatening to "pop" Joanna Cherry, and who was acquitted, is pictured in this article.

What a delightful "woman". Sigh.

God these violent men really are a sacred caste aren't they? I hate that these crimes get reported as ours, it's so risible.
