Mum arrested in front of her children for 'calling transgender woman a man' [U.K.]
Mirror ^ | 9/1/2019 | Ed McConnell

A mum who was arrested on suspicion of deliberately misgendering a trans woman is set to appear in court.

Kate Scottow was visited by officers from Hertfordshire Police after an online argument allegedly saw her refer to transgender rights activist Stephanie Hayden as a man despite knowing she identified as a woman.

Scottow, 38, was taken to a police station and interviewed following the incident in February and has now been charged with making malicious communications on social media, The Sun reports.

Scottow, of Hitchin, Herts, will now face magistrates in Stevenage on September 18.

Following her arrest she took to forum Mumsnet to describe being confronted in front of her two young children.

A CPS spokesman said: “We made the decision to charge Katherine Scottow after reviewing a file of evidence from Hertfordshire Police relating to social media posts.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Ms Scottow are now active and that she has a right to a fair trial.

"It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

She has a right to a fair trial, the story asserts, rather ominously.

Therefore “it is important that there be no reporting, commentary, or sharing of information online which could in any way”... be perceived as a groundswell of support for the accused or resistance to tyranny.

This is terrifying.

This happens in Canada as well. “Amazing Polly” on youtube described a case very much like this.

We are one DemocRat president away from the UK.


Democrat? The immediate past GOP nom preferred Hillary Rotten Criminal and her Democrat SCOTUS to Donald J. Trump. Progressives and their corportist allies are firmly in control of both parties.

Think the Brits would arrest one of their own Paki Moslems if they were guilty of the same thing but claimed to be simply following Allah? Not a chance.

The UK and Sweden are neck and neck for the distinction of being most wussified nation on earth.

Britain is done. So done.

Don’t go there. They are itching to arrest some Yank who tweets the wrong thoughts.

Orwell was right. Seventy years later, he was right.

This is probably changing the subject, but what’s the fine for sticking your tongue out at someone?

What are you people on about? This person has ‘received a gender recognition certificate’. How many of you have one of those? Sheesh.

Here’s where I point out that because this nonsense political correctness has taken over, so many police resources in the UK have been devoted to it that they don’t even have the time to investigate murders. Which brings a very neat and clean solution to the table...

If you had asked that question 20 years ago, I can't imagine anyone coming up with what is going on today with regard to transgenderism.

And 50 years ago the idea of swarms of muslims in London would have been deemed ridiculous.

OMG what has happened to England? They need a march of 10,000 all carrying signs saying what’sherface is a man, man. Then let us see what they do.

Heads on pikes, that’s where this is all going to lead.

at the trial, challenge the prosecution to prove that crossdressers are not primarily focused on intimidating and devaluing hetero women.

If gender is based on volition and not fact or appearance, how is one ever to know seeing someone on the street their correct “gender”? Will everyone have to wear placards identifying their “gender” and pronouns so that innocent people don’t get sent to jail for the crime of “misgendering”?

The likely reason they're sacred cows is the reverence that Satan worshipers, Free Masons, the European Monarchies and other secret societies have for Baphomet, a human that manifests characteristics of both male and female.

For examples, Moochelle and Archie's male "mummy."

Witness our utter disbelief of this UK development, even on this thread! This not simply mindless quirkiness that the Crown Agent Prosecutors are going after this "out-there," "fringe" social "crime" of effrontery. Imagine the social upheaval if--nay, when--this same truth is openly visited upon Michael and Miss Markle on both sides of the ocean.

It won't be too awfully long before the DNA of those two were analyzed by an unbiased lab, the results would become public and the whole façade of our betters' (*cough*, *cough*) extreme perversions ("These people are sick!") became clear and came tumbling down.

They realize our obeisance to their perversions is critical. Otherwise, we'll be useless to them as awakened slaves and they really will be forced to (do their best to kill 7 billion of us sooner than later (see Georgia Guide Stones)

Georgia Guide Stones Guideline 1. "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature."

“Transgendered” men don’t get pregnant.
