Labour Will Not Make ‘Misgendering’ Trans People a Hate Crime

by Will Jones
10 August 2024 3:00 PM

Labour will not make it a hate crime to ‘misgender’ trans people, according to the Telegraph, after a Home Office Minister told Parliament the Government has “no such plans”.

Sir Keir Starmer made comments as Leader of the Opposition that led to speculation the expression of gender-critical views could become a criminal offence under a Labour Government.

In 2022, when in opposition, the Prime Minister said that “every” LGBT+ crime should be treated as an aggravated offence, which could carry a jail sentence of up to two years.

This may have covered the refusal to use ‘she/her’ pronouns for trans women, who were born male, alongside offences such as assault and harassment motivated by gender identity.

But Labour appeared to row back on its stance when asked by Baroness Jenkin, a Tory peer: “What plans they have to make it a criminal offence to misgender an individual?”

Responding to a written question tabled in Parliament, Lord Hanson, a Home Office minister and Labour peer, replied: “The Government has no such plans.”

Hmm, “no plans”. We’ve heard that before.

Worth reading in full.

But that would be the whole statement, ‘the government have no plans’, a fly stuck in treacle comes to mind…

the Government has “no such plans”

is code for ‘but we are thinking about doing it and probably will when the time is right”.

It would not be the first time.

If they were not going to do it they would say so but they have not.

“appear to have rolled back”.????——–What politician is going to insist that people under threat of imprisonment must refer to people who were born male and who are in fact male but who have decided to “identify” as female and who behave and dress like one is to be called “Miss” and can enter a woman’s toilet or changing room?

And on the topic of the proven biological man, who identifies as a woman, who predictably beat the Chinese woman to get a gold medal in the boxing…If he’s saying he’s a female ( which directly contradicts what his sex chromosomes are telling us after testing, so he’s lying ) but he’s also a Muslim from Algeria, how on earth is he, as a ‘woman’, able to pull off wearing the normal attire for boxing and not be covered up like other Muslim athletes? All I see is a skinny man with his eyebrows shaped. And do women boxers wear groin guards? Why? I thought this was boxing, not flipping MMA!

Another one here;

”If this was a biological woman, do you think in Algerian culture a man would be able to carry a woman on his shoulders and hold her bare legs in public?”

Contrast what Muslim Algerian dude wears for boxing vs the Egyptian women in beach volleyball. So how can he maintain he’s a woman, a Muslim one at that?

Reporting on the jail sentence of Adam Graham/Isla Bryson after he was convicted of raping two women, the Guardian chose to disrespect his victims by respecting the rapist too much to ‘misgender’ him:

“She was found guilty of two charges of rape in January after a six-day trial at the high court in Glasgow.”

“She”

Meanwhile the BBC apparently accidentally ‘misgendered’ him. This Spectator article from February 2023 points out that the BBC article stated:

“Lord Scott said Bryson had preyed on his victims because of their vulnerability and raped them in their own homes.”

“his victims”

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/has-the-bbc-misgendered-isla-bryson/

But the Spectator article then goes on to ask:

“Will this acknowledgement of biological fact be allowed to stand on BBC Online, or will the Corporation’s Stonewall-trained internal thought-police ensure that it is quickly airbrushed away? 

Keep a close eye on that BBC page, folks…”

And sure enough, when you click on the BBC article now, it has been amended and the sentence which is so offensive to all trans rapists has been memory-holed.

We can’t have the BBC offending trans rapists!

The biggest Industry in the UK now is not Steel Making, or Oil and gas production, car making or agriculture. It is “Offence Taking”

It is totally sick and allowing vulnerable young children to be examined alone by ‘therapists’ and doctors. Trans is just a chance for minority attracted to attack.

Professor Richard Dawkins had his Facebook account removed even though he didn’t make this particular comment on that platform. Avoid FB at all costs;

”British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins has his entire Facebook account DELETED after posting on 𝕏 about Olympic boxer Imane Khelif having male chromosomes.

“My entire Facebook account has been deleted, seemingly (no reason given) because I tweeted that genetically male boxers such as Imane Khalif (XY undisputed) should not fight women in Olympics. Of course my opinion is open to civilised argument. But outright censorship?”

Despite not posting about Khelif on Facebook itself and only making the comments on 𝕏, his account has been deleted.”

Some comments from his post on X responding to this news;

“The theory of evolution” will be removed from school curriculum in the UK by the new Labour Government, as it ‘hurts the feelings’ of Muslim migrants and comes under the Labour definition of Islamophobia.

Richard Dawkins will be put under house arrest.” Imtiaz Mahmood

”Absolutely nuts! And they are cooking up an Islamophobia censorship bill. Selected minorities are to be protected from hurt feelings by censoring the majority and threatening them with prosecution and prison. Incredible that this is Britain in 2024.” Ayaan Hirsi Ali

If life was a petrol tank I would be down to quarter of a tank left, and to be quite honest I am glad I won’t be around to see the UK wiped out by the Liberal Progressive virus which is spreading all across the western world faster than a speeding bullet, and at the moment there appears to be no vaccine.

Thank heavens for that. That’s made me sooo happy. There’s absolutely no way a rotting piece of filth like Keir, or any of the other disgusting treacherous scumbags slithering around in politics, would ever lie to us is there? About as trustworthy as a Rotherham kids club run by Muslim men.

Is it the pm whom makes the laws in the country? I thought the Uk was a democracy where those in parliament representing we the people introduce a bill, it is debated and then voted on. Guess that has been thrown out the window now.

Never forget:

Never, ever forget.

“No plans” doesn’t mean “we won’t.”

It just means it’s not immediately in prospect.
