A mother-of-two has appeared in court accused of describing a transgender woman as a 'pig in a wig' alongside a number of offensive and upsetting tweets.
Kate Scottow, 39, was arrested by three police officers at her home in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, late last year as her then ten-year-old daughter and 20-month-old son looked on.
Her arrest followed complaints from transgender campaigner Stephanie Hayden who told St Albans Magistrates Court today that Scottow - who was subsequently charged - had in a number of tweets referred to her using 'he' or 'him' during a period of 'significant online abuse'.(snip)
In the witness box Ms Hayden told the court she discovered the defendant had in a number of tweets referred to her using 'he' or 'him'
Ms Hayden went on: 'This is the problem with these people. It's just done to annoy people like me.'
She went on: 'It's calculated to violate my dignity as a woman,' adding 'its just harassment.'

Arrested by three police officers at her home......because this one's feeewings were hurt.
He called the cops because he ws called he and him?
I guess they have gotten all the jihadist criminals and rapists locked up in UK, since the police have plenty of time and manpower for this kind of stuff.
VERY SAD what has been allowed to happen there.
She was insulting pigs. When Islam takes over, that will be ok.
Insane
I know this is UK, but it could be here. We allow this garbage because we let the left win the language battle.
Multiculturalism, diversity, inclusivity, few are bold enough to admit, those are toxic concepts. Who can possibly be against any one of those things? Admirable goals for any society.
Wrong!
Setting those things as a standalone goal, regardless of context is toxic. The mere mention of those words raises a red flag with me. I loathe anyone pushing those concepts. I prefer removing restrictions and impediments and allowing those things to happen organically.
Using proper english in England is now a crime.
"Is THIS why you signed up for the job?"
"Don't you feel just a bit stupid for arresting me?"
The Daily Mail reports how drunk drivers get off and attackers get off but don’t ever mock a trannie.
I have a feeling American cops would also responded poorly to those questions.
[[She went on: ‘It’s calculated to violate my dignity as a woman,’]]
MR- YOU violate your own dignity by pretending to be a sex that you are not- enough with the idiotic nonsense!- grow up! This is real life- facts matter- science matters- this isn’t pretend land- noone gets to declare themselves a sea cucumber and then be taken seriously- nor do MEN get to play dress up and then get to be called a female!
I have a feeling American cops would also respond poorly to those questions.
Good thing we shouldn’t talk about social issues. Tax rates are all that matters! Low tax tranny reading hour is conservatism as long as the trannies are reading the Federalist Papers to the children! Yes, this is sarcasm.
Elect a Democrat this November and enjoy the Suck.
Democrats hate the First Amendment almost as much as they hate the Second Amendment.
Maybe Constable Bulldyke enjoyed slapping on the cuffs.
I am so SICK of you whiners, snowflakes, and muslimes in the UK. Your societal mores are all but gone. I'd ignore your stupid crap except that you still have nukes. As you continue down the PC rabbit hole, I'm concerned about the future control of those nukes.
It’s just done to annoy people like me.

So it’s against the law to be annoying?
In that case every leftist on earth deserves to be in prison for life.
Dude... just because you wear a dress and makeup does not make you a woman. You’re still a man. Don’t expect others to participate in your sexual fantasy.

Pssssst- Deblasio made it a crime to call someone anything other than what they want to be called-
“New York businesses face hefty penalties for ‘misgendering’ customers”

“California Proposes Jail Time for Using the Wrong Pronoun for Transgenders”
“D.C. Will Fine You For Calling A Transgender Person The Wrong Pronouns”

I remember when 'gay' (for being queer) was forced upon us. I refused to go along....I still use the old language, fags or queers for homosexuals.
