AntiSocial

Misgendering and Hate Crime


Listen Later

Exploring the debate around gender, pronouns, and Scotland’s new hate crime law.

People online are threatening to report misgendering - for example referring to a trans woman as a man - to the police. They say new Scottish legislation due to come into force in April will make misgendering a criminal offence. What does the new law actually say?
