Every time I read one of these stories about U.K. police overreach, I used to wonder how many trans-identifying males are similarly served for tweeting rape and death threats to gender critical women. To my immediate recollection I don’t recall even one.
I follow and admire the steadfastness and bravery of your actions Sarah, on behalf of women and girls. I tweet as @KWebbNurse and have been threatened with complaints to my regulator because of my pro female stance. I am careful to avoid engaging in arguments if possible and cannot overcome the ridiculousness of our current societal primacy of the position of heterosexual men who believe they can become women. Twitter is not a forum favoured by most working class people. I am waiting for the time when the male partners of women confronted by a bloke in a dress go in and take matters into their own hands. I don’t want violence and think it is inevitable unless Government takes action to safeguard the female right to single sex space.
Please keep doing what you do and educating us about our rights. You teach me, Posie includes me, JKR inspires me to do what is right. Thank you 😊
We obvs need to repeal these hate speech laws which are so clearly being abused as they were always bound to be. I have recently joined the Free Speech Union and pleased they were able to help you -
The only speech which should be criminal is speech threatening criminal action. Ami right? However despicable insults and slurs and jokes may be, however offensive - whether against race, ethnicity, sex or whatever - however upsetting - SURELY they *can* be endured for the sake of free speech and natural justice ie the right to hear all sides before judgement.
"I do try to remind myself that the people promoting the ‘fight’ against ‘hate’ are good people, with the best of motives. But it gets harder every day. "
I don't assume this to be true at all today. I think most of the people doing this are acting completely out of malice.
Sorry to hear of the grief you're having with the Woke and their minions, but commend your courage and tenacity in standing up to them: "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing".
Apropos of which, you might have some interest in an old Andrew Sullivan post, linked to in his most recent one:

More to the point is an Atlantic post on The New Puritans -- guess they didn't all emigrate to "The Colonies" ... 😉

Particularly "amusing" is the lead-off graphic of someone in the old-style stocks topped with the Twitter icon ...
