Scotland’s First Minister has hit out at “bad faith actors” who are “intent on turning every issue into a culture war” following a row over a forthcoming Bill on misogyny.
The pledge to create a standalone Bill dealing with misogyny resulted in sex being left out of the Hate Crime and Public Order Bill – which came into force on April 1 – sparking criticism. 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.In a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, the author accused the First Minister of showing “absolute contempt for women”.
“Let’s not allow them to divide our society into those who are worthy of protection from hatred and those who are not.The First Minister added that the legislation would deal with the perception of the accused, rather than the status of the victim.
