J K Rowling Invites Police To Arrest Her
Backed by Rishi Sunak, the author took to social media to hit out at the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, external which came into effect on Monday. Under the new law, "stirring up hatred" relating to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex is now classed as a criminal offence. The maximum penalty under the new act in Scotland is a jail sentence of seven years.
The prime minister said: "We should not be criminalising people saying common sense things about biological sex, clearly that isn’t right. Football pundit Ally McCoist has also given his support to JK Rowling, calling the legislation "madness".

I don't know why anyone needs a judge to tell them that men are men but would arresting J K Rowling and dragging her before the courts for telling the truth go a long way to stopping this lunacy once and for all?

"First of all can we dispense with this ridiculous terminolgy? There is no such thing as a trans woman/man."
I think that's where the problems began.
There are men who pretend to be women and women who pretend to be men. Nothing wrong with that - live and let live.
The problems began firstly when the labels mentioned above were applied. This was swiftly followed up when everybody else was (firstly) encouraged to go along with their pretences and (more recently) castigated, intimidated and, if the Scottish government's scheme is successful, forced by law to do so.
I don't know many countries which supposedly enjoy free speech, where the statement of a simple biological fact can land one in prison. I know that the law is framed to prevent "stirring up hatred" but simple statements such as "a person with a penis is a man" have been interpreted as "hate speech."
I used to drink in what the Brits called "The Tranny Arms" in Bruxelles (On what was known as Tranny Alley.
Pascale once flashed my mate his bits. Horrid sight. It was said the Tranny Arms didnt have an umberlla stand just a hod stand as most of the Tranny's wer built like brick out houses.
The thing is no onee cared, no once was insulted and it was generally a good crack with the pee taken on all sides.
I lived in Brussel/Bruxelles/Brussels and never came across Tranny/Travelo/Tranny Alley - where was it?
Really, let them be and everybody be - anybody who has been out in the Belgian/Luxembourgois/Most of French countryside have come across their unisex loos - and holes in the ground surrounded by a bit of porcelain but no seat.
'wat is om te zijn is bedoeld om te zijn' - 'ce qui doit être est censé être'....
naomi - the clitoris comes from stem cells that make up the penis, so there is some linkage - and that's what allow surgeons in a trans/intersex op to reduce a penis to become a neo-clitoris in the 'new woman'.
On a lighter moment that may apply to trans-surgery either way when it comes to their future visual sexuality, I was up at the Duchy Hospital in Truro today and saw a sign that said, 'Thieves Operate Here' - the response being, 'Surely that's the surgeons?' But then what's the difference?
