I keep a \u201ccreeping fascism\u201d file with the intention of tracking governments\u2019 erosion of their citizens\u2019 rights and freedoms. But the file is filling up so fast that the first few articles in this series will have to be \u201cdata-dump\u201d cut-and-past jobs rather than in-depth analyses of any specific depredation. So here goes:<\/p>\n

JK Rowling Could Be Imprisoned For \u201cMisgendering\u201d Trans People Under New Law<\/a><\/h4>\n

(Modernity)\u00a0–\u00a0<\/strong>Author JK Rowling could be prosecuted for \u201cmisgendering\u201d trans people under Scotland\u2019s new hate crime law that comes into force today, an SNP minister has admitted.<\/p>\n

A person could now be imprisoned for up to seven years if they engage in \u201cinsulting\u201d behaviour towards \u2018protected\u2019 groups, and the prosecution only needs to prove that the hatred was \u201clikely\u201d rather than \u201cintended\u201d.<\/p>\n

Siobhian Brown, the SNP\u2019s community safety minister, stated that calling a \u201ctrans woman\u201d (a man) \u201che\u201d \u201ccould be reported and it could be investigated. Whether or not the police would think it was criminal is up to Police Scotland for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

During their training program on enforcing the new law, police officers were taught that even the content of plays and comedy gigs should be considered as potential hate crimes.<\/p>\n

Rowling has vowed to continue calling biological males men and says she will now be targeted for telling the truth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
