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 Stop comparing black women & disabled women to men pretending to be women. It’s racist & ablist & (obviously) misogynist. Black & brown women are female. Disabled women are female. ‘Transwomen’ are & remain men I’m a brown disabled woman & they have nothing in common with me
@WrathQueenof @HumzaYousaf Stop comparing lesbian women & disabled women to men LARPing as us. It’s homophobic,ableist & misogynist Lesbians & disabled women, are biological females. Trans identified men (TiMs), are *men*, not women &The T are homophobic misogynists who are trying to erase LGB.
@WrathQueenof @HumzaYousaf So sorry he said this. You should report him for a hate crime. So racist.
