HOW has JK Rowling not been arrested for hate crime yet!? Unbelievable

Good for her for not giving in to the delusions of mentally ill people.Transgender women are not real women,and never will be.Trans men are not real men.That's fact.That's biology.

Attempts to restrict free speech should be a treasonable offence, punished by public execution.

The thing is, the lefties have laid the groundwork for future tolatiarianist regimes throughout the West. The problem for the lefties is that they likely won't be leftwing. And they'll be no hiding from the future gestapos when you've been leaving it all out online for the last 20 years.

Complains about totalitarianism.

Also wants public executions and seems gleeful at the prospect of the Gestapo murdering lefties.

Milf

I honestly think that the situation is so bad, where lefties will soon be arresting you for calling a bearded male rapist a man, that however awful totalitarianism is, a few years of an extreme right-wing government is probably the only fix.

In any case, my point still stands. Lefties have set society on a slippery slope where the sacred value of free speech has gradually been eroded. It's inevitable that in fifty years or sooner that we will either be in some kind of Islamist hellhole or an 80's South American style junta. In either case, lefties are well and truly f k d.

Assuming you're British, you've got a rightwing government that's given the police powers to shut down protests that are 'too loud' and you have government ministers telling pro Palestine protesters they have 'made their point and should go home' and you have newspapers encouraging drivers to run over climate protesters in the road.

Instead the free speech debate is focussed on transgender people in Scotland.

I presume you’re being sarcastic

Yep, certain media in this country is scum.

The right to protest should be upheld and respected, whatever it is for.

Both Israelis and Palestinians should be allowed to protest, as well as climate change activists.

This country has been destroyed by the woke right, who moan about everything and feel frightened and threatened by everything.

WTF? He didn't say that. He warmed that criminalizing speech is the first step to totalitarianism.

Trans-activist India Willoughby, who has been "misgendered" by Rowling, says, "I am every bit as much a woman as JK Rowling." Not quite every bit, India.

If a person isn't sure what gender they are or thinking they are both at the same time, then how am I supposed to know what gender they are or which one they identify with in the moment (and might change an hour later or tomorrow, etc)? Everything is 'hate' speech these days even if you just politely disagree. All these people crying 'hate' are usually the ones who are the 'haters'. They 'hate' you don't accept their lifestyle. They hate you for not accepting their attempts to force you to accept their lifestyle through prison or fines or taxes. They are like the mad crowd in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah: they won't be content until they break down your door, come into your house, and destroy everything you've worked for or believe in simply because you politely disagree. They want special treatment, government protection, recognition for their 'condition', etc, but they'll deny you the same in a heartbeat. It's like everyone of them wants a trophy just for being alive or different. If you don't agree they deserve it, then like the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland..."Off with their heads!" Essentially people like this are narcissistic nihilists in disguise. They want just to raze everything to the ground for their perceived slights...but the poster above is historically right...they are just paving the way for totalitarians and dictators who will, ironically, turn on them and execute/purge them from the human race. (Study history: dictators almost always murder the people who helped them get into power! Got to eliminate the competition I suppose.) I don't consider myself right nor left on the political spectrum, but I do believe the 'religion' or the 'philosophy' of the "left" in the USA is nihilism wearing the multiple masks of socialism (Fabian and Marxist), humanism, agnosticism, 'evolutionism', to try and be more 'acceptable' to the masses. Brace yourself for living in a Nietzschean world. Communism from the left, fascism/nationalism from the right.

Leftists don’t have no stinkin badges and can’t arrest anyone. And 99% of them don’t give a crap about whatever Rowling has to say about transgender people.

I'd probe her too.

"Hate speech" is going to be the new way to silence dissenters in countries where the progressive mind virus has become endemic but which do not have strong protections for expression. You won't see this under the current American framework -- thank God for the Constitution -- but other countries that have swallowed progressive postmodern thinking will all go down this road eventually. It's kind of ironic that although the modern-day progressive non-thinking arose here, it mutates into even worse insanity when it is picked up by other nations. I'm sure American progressives would like to see the law around expression changed here, but good luck gaining the influence to overturn our long history of freedom in that regard.

Straight from the ADL playbook.

Trans is not a real thing. That's why.
