Baroness Kennedy’s report clearly recommended that the proposed offences in a misogyny bill should apply where the victims are ‘women or those who perpetrators perceive to be women’ this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse that is motivated by prejudice.
If a man threatens to rape a woman, he is unlikely to know if the victim is born a woman or a trans woman. That behaviour should logically be seen as misogynistic. Again, this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse motivated by prejudice. This is not new.
The faux outrage claiming trans women have "double protection" under the law because of who they are is as ludicrous as being upset that a disabled Black woman has triple protection under the law. It in no way diminishes protection against misogyny for those who are born women.
@HumzaYousaf Men are not women. Humans have evolved, as have other mammals, to instantly distinguish the sex of strangers. Please provide evidence that there is significant danger of men threatening to rape “trans” identifying men. We certainly have evidence that men rape female people.
Don’t talk nonsense! Most of us can tell the difference right away! You make me sick making out someone can be misogynistic to anyone that wasn’t born female! Misogyny relates to hate towards females end of! You are giving away my sex based rights protected by Article 10 of the EHRC to those who were not born female. How dare you!
@HumzaYousaf My goodness, you’re a serious danger to women. I sincerely hope you get slung out soon.
@HumzaYousaf Is this a man or a woman, Humza?
@HumzaYousaf Is this a man or a woman?
@HumzaYousaf You are a rank misogynist. RESIGN.
@HumzaYousaf I simply cannot imagine why you'd publicly attempt to gaslight the whole of the UK.
