Tras are trying to get JKR arrested.

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

cross-dresser
noun
noun: crossdresser

  1. a person who wears clothing typical of the other sex.

This IS the definition.

There must be a massively significant percentage of women who fit it.

And, just like non-binary, you can acquire it whenever you like. It doesn't say you always have to wear those clothes.

Did you ever buy a men's shirt? Bingo! You've got the protected characteristic in terms of hate crime.

Wow I'm a cross dresser too

Perhaps this is the way to go - while they're prosecuting 50,000 Rangers fans the court will be too clogged to deal with anyone else.

It seems more likely their priorities will be in line with the Bold Gendarmes but maybe I'm too cynical.

Re 'the man on the Clapham omnibus' - perhaps the appropriate 21st century Scottish transport related comparator might be 'the passenger on the CalMac ferry (or marooned on the quayside)'?

Reporting for duty ma'am!

I have short hair, no makeup, flat shoes, jeans - nonbinary to the max. The fact that I was also the birthing and chestfeeeding parent to two children is irrelevant.

Imagine a volunteer group being formed to investigate hate crimes

WTAF sort of people would be attracted to this ?

I think we can all make a good guess on that one. No end of examples from history to choose from as a guide.

I thought the hatred was in the eye of the reporting person, rather than that there would be an assessment of hate by the allegedly objective policeman with his rainbow lanyard..?

Since read that the reporter may not be aware of hate and so the polis can diagnose and report it for them.

Given that they are a finite rseource, are the police going to priotise this over more inportant matters such as robbery, murder , mugging etc, get real IW

maltravers · 11/03/2024 15:29

I think the police see GC women (polite and middle aged) as low hanging fruit compared to rapists, burglars etc

ReadtheReviews · 11/03/2024 15:38

Damn. If they arrest her it will be the third time in my life I will go on a protest march. 1st to repeal Secrion 28, 2nd to not go to war with Iraq.

ArabellaScott · 11/03/2024 15:44

I doubt they will arrest JKR.

However, I'm fairly certain they will be arresting, or at least questioning, plenty of other women.

Any woman that's ever signed a letter, written to their representatives, spoken out of turn, expressed any doubt about gender ideology, put a spell on their neighbour's cat, etc.

ArabellaScott · 11/03/2024 15:45

And of course we have no shortage of willing witch prickers here.

Oh I'm sure they will.

And then when the experience of the electorate is that burglaries, mugging, actual crime impacting on them is never bothered with but their mum is up in court for miffing a man's ego, that should be the end of the police really.

Which is what this clown world lobby want apparently. Who they think they'll then wail and stamp to when someone doesn't genuflect properly I have no idea, but basic cause and effect thinking isn't a part of its talents.

'What can be the cause that there are twentie women given to that craft, where ther is one man?
'The reason is easie, for as that sexe is frailer then man is, so is it easier to be intrapped in these grosse snares of the Devill, as was over well proved to be true, by the Serpents deceiving of Eva at the beginning, which makes him the homelier with that sexe sinsine.'

James VI/I, Daemonologie

Translation:
'What can be the cause that there are 20 women given to that craft [witchcraft], where there is one man?
'The reason is easy, for as that sex is frailer than man is, so is it easier to be entrapped in these gross snares of the Devil, as was over well proved to be true, by the Serpent's deceiving of Eve at the beginning, which makes him the more familiar with that sex since that time.'

Didn't we just get an apology for the witch trials? Only 400 years late.

Don't forget that not having a magic gender essence makes one 'agender' and that is under the trans umbrella.

The 'agender non-binary' flag looks suspiciously like the sufragette colours with a bit of black added.

Ah!

Nothing to worry about there, then, the police being so trustworthy etc. Hmm

That's what I think.

Conviction numbers down?
Not many people caught speeding?
Have a word with that old trout who told a transwoman to be careful when them rammed them's trolley into her legs in Tesco. If that had been a woman who bumped her she wouldn't have said owt.

That'll be to include women of colour, I expect.

Not that they can't think of their own fecking flag in their own fecking colours or anything. It's not like they have form for appropriating women's stuff.

Well, I've been through the lists of third party reporting centres published by Police Scotland.

https://www.scotland.police.uk/contact-us/reporting-hate-crime/third-party-reporting-centres/

The lists largely consist of Councils, Churches, Housing Associations, Community Centres, Youth Clubs, women's aid, Rape Crisis, leisure centres, libraries, etc.

Here is just a handful of the hundreds of third party reporting centres where you can inform on your neighbours:

Aberdeen University Students Union
The Redeemed Christian Church of God
Ayrshire LGBT online
SACRO (remember Mridhul Wadhwa's partner is/was part of Sacro)
LGBT Youth (under Police Scotland investigation, founded by James Rennie)
Oasis Youth Centre Dumfries
Men Only Tayside
6VT Edinburgh Youth Cafe
Shakti Norton Park - where Mridhul Wadhwa used to work
Glasgow Women's Library
Luke and Jack (a sex shop in Glasgow)
Harper Mcleod - a solicitor's firm in Inverness
East Kilbride Shopping Centre
Farne Salmon & Trout
Tweedside Caravan Park
Monaghan Mushrooms

How are all these people going to be trained, vetted, supported? Mushroom farmers, sex shops, librarians, are going to be taking people's details, to pass on to the police, now?

What reasonable rape victim would object to questions from a male bodied person/“therapist”/about whether she orgasmed after /during her rape? Who could possibly think such questions offensive, intrusive or down right stinking? And they wonder why we don’t want male bodied people in women’s rape therapy sessions. Reframe your trauma women, so that it is acceptable material for your male listener.

given that, in other news, the Scots govt. is funding hardcore porno films, nothing would surprise me. WTF is going on up there?

Wait, WHAT!?
