JKR vs Police Scotland?

[IcakethereforeIam]

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.

Honestly, I've been wondering for a while if there's something in the Scottish psyche up here which made us pursue Witches with such apparent enthusiasm, embrace the most dour forms of pre-destination in our religions and to push 'progressiveness' to the point of authoritarianism.

So not only can I easily fall foul of this legislation because I'm autistic and struggle to recognise "offensive", the rozzers can decide for me whether I am the victim of a crime?

Fuck that nonsense. I'm never setting foot in Scotland again.

Did the Scottish Govt even bother to run an Equality Impact Analysis on this?

And Police Scotland?

Also noting:

Some people with a learning disability, dementia, or mental health illness may not realise that they have been the subject of a hate crime or hate incident.

Does this work in reverse? Will some people with a learning disability, dementia or etc not realise they have been the perpetrator of a hate crime/incident, given there is no definition and it rests on the perception of any random person anywhere in the world others?

Interesting how it's all "gender is a social construct" but then apparently "male" is hate speech and misgendering. It's not, it's correctly sexing, which according to their own rules isn't the same thing. If India's gender is woman, his sex is still male, regardless of whether he wants to accept that or not.

But then, the movement never has been terribly consistent has it?

(Sorry off to read the full thread now!)

Fantastic climax!

I doubt they will arrest JKR.

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

I wouldn't put it past JKR to simply deliberately repeat what those women say, in order to highlight the issues.

Yes, they’re bullies, they pick on those who they think are weak, not those who are powerful and might strike back.

Anyone know more about this claim, please?

My child made an interesting point the other day.

all those years as a child where she was constantly being misgendered. Sometimes even after correction, and occasionally people actually arguing with her that she was a boy.

hate crimes? Is this now also unacceptable?

What claim specifically?

The claim that an NCHI has been lodged.

Although, I've just seen the archive of this Telegraph piece.

The force declined to confirm whether or not Willoughby’s claim that an NCHI had been recorded was accurate.
Asked about claims it had breached rules over logging of incidents, the force said it had no further comment.

JKR can find that out, I think.

Someone's written it on a post it and slapped it on a wall somewhere, "Yes, yes, it's logged ffs now give it a rest"

😂

Stand by Harry, JRK's legal team are braced to rip their muzzles off.

Northumberland police getting awfully coy. Think they re hoping least said soonest mended. If some bizzie has been bullied into NCHIing the famous, wealthy, philanthropist JKR by IW! Well, tut!

Can't wait. Gets Popcorn. JKR is too strong, it's not like she could lose against IW is it? As pp said IW clearly hasn't thought this through.

The hidden message linked to some quoted text on a funding site.

To paraphrase, is it still the case that people have to contact the police to find out they have an NCHI lodged against them? Like Sarah Phillimore?

In June 2020 I noticed that an anonymous Twitter account was boasting that I now had a 'record for life' of 'my hate' as my tweets on Twitter were now recorded by the police as 'hate incidents' under what was then the 'Hate Crimes Operational Guidance'. According to this guidance, the police must record what anyone tells them about being a victim of 'hate' - you can even make a report on behalf of someone else that you think is victim! The police aren't allowed to question the motives or the rationality of the person reporting. 'Hate' is given a very wide definition, to include 'dislike' and 'unfriendliness'.
I contacted my local police force to see what was going on, and they sent me 12 pages of tweets they had recorded as a transphobic and religiously aggravated 'non-crime hate incident'.
I was never told about this and thus given no opportunity challenge it. I deny I have ever been 'hateful' about anyone or any religion. I am a humanist and express satire and sarcasm about religion. Similarly I am critical of transgender ideology. I do not believe a trans woman is a woman. You cannot change biology whatever you believe.
The tweets I posted contained nothing that any reasonable person could describe as 'hatred' - for example one is discussing that my dog likes to eat cheese!
Twitter have never asked me to delete any of them so presumably do not think I violated their terms of service forbidding hateful content.
The police have refused to delete the recording and refused to tell me who gets to see this information. It is recorded against my full name, my date of birth, my home address and my email address. They have agreed to record alongside it the fact that I strongly dispute it is fair - but that only makes me more worried that they never told me they had recorded it in the first place.

And I’m gender fluid. I had long hair in the ‘70s. I’ve just had my hair cut.

Oh dear what a shame never mind.
Everything IW touches turns to dust.

Surely the point of India being so upset about Jr calling her a man is that Jr is outing her to the world when she has the right privacy. But if India keeps on shouting from the rooftops I'm trans I'm trans I'm trans I'm trans I'm trans, then it's clearly not a secret, and so therefore what is the complaint about?

So if a woman wears trousers and cuts her hair short, and a coworker says to her I don't like you in trousers and with short hair, it does not suit you at all. I think you would look better wearing a nice fruity dress with flowers on it and growing your hair long, this could be reported as a hate crime?
