  Wait. In what world is literally telling your followers to physically attack trans people not inciting violence?? What the actual fuck is wrong with everyone involved in this story?

  The third, on 20 April, said: “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and, if all else fails, punch him in the balls.”

  Linehan insisted at the time that while he may have been guilty of making a “bad joke”, he had not been aiming to encourage violence.

  Great, now people on TERF island are getting paid to tell people to physically assault transgender people.

  The judge found that the writer had taken Brooks’s phone because he was “angry and fed up” and had damaged it by knocking it to the ground.

  The conviction for damaging their mobile phone was also overturned on appeal.

  And get to damage their property without repercussions.

  Now they can put this saga behind them and get back to arresting 80 year old wheelchair bound “terrorists”

  If a transphobe is in a space, they are committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and, if all else fails, punch them in the face.

  This is bad, actually. “The met no longer investiges non-crime hate incidents”

  Or is it not? I find it hard to tell.
