 Thank you @TheGuySwann and @Gigi  for this fantastic piece and rant. It is not my problem if my opinion is not to your liking, me expressing my opinion in itself should not be a crime, then the whole misgendering…… I tried if fix some work badges. https://fountain.fm/episode/iKJ9O0CtOyYmxt8yxom0 https://image.nostr.build/57920c341b0ee698f76e1b0ee341478b2fb1c5f9a442fc16cdd57b2f8aa548ba.jpg  
 @TheGuySwann worrying developments coming out of the basket case that is Scotland at the moment, following Canada’s questionable lead. Take a step back and think who benefits from this, the police can’t police every post on the internet. Someone hurting my feelings is my problem. In my day we said “sticks and stones will break my bone”, but suppose that’s now hate speech. "that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive," hmmmmm, I’ve listened to politicians, they are no reasonable, this is a law that will end badly.

Scotland's new hate crime law comes into force https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-68703684 
 Up to 7 years for saying words!  When did it become the governments job to make sure no-one ever has their feelings hurt?
