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.

There isn’t a doctor alive that can make me into a woman.
This is the man who used Halloweenie tricks to look like a woman. If I didn't know different I would say she was a babe. The mum was correct to call the bum a man.
New commenter here. Trying not to break any rules...
Just wanted to say that the Left always seems to win when they succeed at labeling the rest of us in some way. Hijacking the language seems to be the way they deploy those labels.
For example, look at how they painted Trump with one thing (illogically) leading to the next like an idiot’s game of charades:
unhinged —> says racially offensive things —> ‘racist’ —> ‘supporter of white nationalists’
It does not ever matter to their ‘argument’ (or lack thereof), that one thing did not make sense to lead to the next. It’s still a way to market their B.S. political correct arrogant worldview.
So for the above story it’s woman speaks to tranny —>tranny offended —> woman must have done something wrong —> woman must be arrested
If those of us on the right/libertarian/Christian/Constitutionalist/pro-2nd amendment etc do not STOP THE LABELING, it’s gonna be all over for us. We need to never let the enemy define us. Whether in a court of law or public opinion.
Democrats believe that if you put a dress on a pig, that makes it a woman.
Go to court and have “it” take a DNA test. Science will prove the mother was right.
You can be arrested for calling a man a man, but Muslims are free to sex traffic hundreds of young British girls.
I left the UK for here too, and I love America.
No comment
XX = Female
XY = Male
To claim otherwise makes one a science denier.
And, this should make apparent that the UK, or Britain, has no freedom of speech, and hasn’t for a long time.
Let’s just call then “IT”.
Let’s just call them “IT”.
