Tras are trying to get JKR arrested.

https://archive.ph/5TEU4 highland fling yourself over the paywall, cos Scottish!

Thought to give IW a break.

The Hate Crime...crime(?) comes into force on 1st April, according to the article. The SNP has not engaged with any of the organisations who have expressed concerns and no-one knows what, if any, training the Police have been given.

Trans activists urge Scottish police to arrest JK Rowling over ‘misgendering hate crime’

Northumbria Police last week dismissed a complaint against the author over calling India Willoughby, a transgender TV personality, a male

If they arrest JK Rowling for calling a man a man it's not only going to peak Scotland. It's going to send a wave through the EU and maybe even the US.

Years ago I would have never thought that the biggest moments in reversing gender ideology lunacy would be a beer can and JK Rowling's arrest.

a beer can

Men care as soon as it affects something that men care about, in this case beer.

The reality is they'll probably try and brush it under the carpet.
e.g Markus Meechan ( Count Dankula ) and the Nazi pug. The sentence was an £800 fine. He raised almost £200K for an appeal and refused to pay the fine. The police took the money directly out of his bank account against his wishes. They also accidentally on purpose forgot to do the formal paperwork properly which would have given him notice of their plans.
As much as I believe JKR would go to prison for women's rights I also believe the corrupt shits in power will do everything they can to deal with this in a sneaky, underhand, possibly illegal way. This is Scotland after all. Campervans for me but not for thee.
I have no doubt JKR will put on a good show though. Perhaps she moves her "official" residence to outside of Scotland and they have to try and extradite her from England. That cound be funny.This crazy new thought crime law only applies in Scotland right?

https://archive.ph/wwaYi the wall is crumbling thanks to brave women and, a few, men

My eyebrows went into orbit ages ago. I think I'm going to be nibbling my nails down to my elbows.

@lechiffre55 "Campervans for me but not for thee." lol. I wonder when we'll get the next installment of krankygate? Just want to add that in general I don't approve when people call Ms Sturgeon that particular name, but was looking for something that worked with gate, and it was just too funny not to.

@IcakethereforeIam "the wall is crumbling thanks to brave women and, a few, men" indeed. And I'm loving the inventive descriptions of paywall jumping that seems to be a thing.

In other news Hate Monster has abandoned its connection to angry poor white young men to hang out with awesome women instead and to campaign for women's rights. This daft law is no longer needed.

I think it would be very funny if every gender critical woman in Scotland went to her local police station at an agreed time on April 1st to report herself for hate crime.
They'd have stroppy women in every cell, interview room, waiting area in Scotland they'd probably have to put a few in the chief inspector's office. And if every woman took some appropriately coloured knitting or crochet to occupy herself with, there would be suffragette scarves all over the canteen.
And this awful law would be dead by lunchtime.
Very unlikely but it's a thought that made me smile.

Despite giving away so much of her wealth, JKR must still be one of the highest individual tax payers in Scotland. I believe that her children have now all left school. What's to keep her in Scotland? If she leaves for England or elsewhere over this nonsense, the Scots will be poorer in many ways.

Teddleshon · 18/03/2024 16:45

I would really love some sort of coordinated event where GC women all break this law together in Scotland after April 1. I for one am willing to travel!

Offences are considered “aggravated”, meaning they could lead to stiffer sentences, if they involve prejudice on the basis of age, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity.

So is IW going to delete all of IWs ageist, racist and homophobic tweets?

RapidOnsetGenderCritic · 18/03/2024 18:32

What a nice chap.

TWETMIRF · 18/03/2024 18:38

You have to feel sorry for the poor IW, IW thinks the suffragettes fought against women's rights. IW wouldn't call IWself a 21st century one otherwise, right?

PurpleSparkledPixie · 18/03/2024 18:43

Is that a recent tweet? SD has 6,551 likes, how many did IW get?

But anyway, just because 50 trans footballers and IW don't id as males doesn't mean they are not.

And as well as the tax she pays in Scotland, she is a major donor to the The Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic at Little France in Edinburgh (Scotland has the highest incidence of MS in the UK at 1 in 350 people) and completely funds Beira's Place in Edinburgh as the Scottish Government shamefully refuses to use public funds to provide single sex rape crisis provision in Edinburgh and the Lothians. And she's apparently a big donor of many other services in Scotland.

Mebbe scotgov should think on this, I suspect jks tax bill pays for a lot of stuff, if she moves out they will lose that.
And the reverse, maybe jk should be pissed off at scotgov spaffing her tax contributions on such things as this law, yet still no ferries.

That's an appalling comment to Sharron Davies.

PurpleSparkledPixie · 18/03/2024 19:16

Under the protection of the Met CT unit? Does that mean IW has their own bodyguard outside their door? Prince Harry must be spitting feathers.

IW likes to dish it out but cries when it's returned. Reminds me of a certain type of man. Which they may or may not be like.

Boiledbeetle · 18/03/2024 19:19

I'm just wondering if the Met CT unit are aware that IW is apparently under their protection

TWETMIRF · 18/03/2024 19:38

If IW identifies as being under their protection then that's all that matters. Transprotection is more protectory than cisprotection
