But the world is obsessed with minorityism, feeling that o.6% should shout down and dominate the 99.4% who are not "minorities" and it does not make sense and it does not make for good government.

Especially when going against what is practically a government.

You cant give the government the power to police normal speach. If we do that we are not far off from tyranny. I do think there should be laws against inciting violence against people of a specific group. Whatever group it may be. But I dont think we should have laws against "blasphemous" speech. And I think the law needs to be careful about ensuring that there is proof that someone was inciting violence and not just saying offensive things. For example... we cant have people opening up class rooms teaching racist hateful idealogy. And just say call that free speech.. if they are teaching children to believe that all people of a certain group are evil and should be exterminated for example. That should not be legal. I also think peadophilic speach should be illegal. But other than that I think its ridiculous to arrest someone because they said something offensive.

Perhaps you believe that "there are no definitions of female beyond biology," and therefore denying their existence doesn't equate to bigotry. However, it's self-evident that individuals seeking cultural acknowledgment for gender identities that extend beyond biological definitions do exist. In fact, I'm acquainted with a few young people who are grappling with these matters. They are earnest in their identities, their quest for acceptance, and their aspiration to evade bullying, violence, or hatred. Respecting an individual's choice regarding identity and preferred pronouns boils down to a matter of tolerance versus intolerance.

    Kevin Maguire's being a little cute with his details there. It's true that the SNP said misgendering wouldn't be a crime. Siobhian Brown said it.
    But later she said that it would be investigated and would be up to police whether to record it as a "non-crime hate incident", which is a hideous construct and negatively impacts someone even if they don't break the law. So despite JK Rowling's stand against it, it's still not clear where the line is here for criminality or for those pernicious "non-crime punishable offences".
