I'm glad JK Rowling did this, because she's big enough to take the strain and seems willing to act as a human shield. Kudos to her.
I saw a quote last week, saying that the best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it strictly, so if any of these New Age Authoritarians blasphemes against your religion, make sure to complete the form, folks!
At the very least, send in your Subject Access Request Form to Police Scotland on a regular basis, since it's the only way you'll ever know if one of the Tartan Taliban have reported you.
I note that the protected characteristics on Police Scotland's helpful drop down menu on their clype form do not include age or sex although both are protected characteristics under the Equality Act. Just in case anyone was in any doubt about whose benefit this act has been passed for.
One dismaying part of this is the lack of outcry among the commentariat (present company excepted) who all seem to be firmly in approval. Presumably because none of them are working class white youths aged 18-30, who Police Scotland seem to think are responsible for the ills of our society. Because no middle class men are ever guilty of white male privilege, and no men of colour have ever exercised male privilege at all.
O tempora, o mores! That we should live to be governed by such dunderheids!
Legal opinion is that the law cannot be enforced retrospectively. Although whether Police Scotland will bother with a minor detail like that probably depends on who is being reported on.
I strongly advise anyone living within travelling distance of Edinburgh to join the rally outside the Royal Scottish Academy on The Mound from 1pm to 3pm this coming Saturday. Organised by the unstoppable Kelly-Jay Keene, I’m sure she’ll also be testing this hate crime nonsense by insisting that ‘transwomen’ are indeed men. Let’s see how many ‘be kind’ TRAs in face masks turn up to shout obscenities at us!

Minor, polite request to have someone else correct your typos if you don't have time to do it yourself, please!
I've already reported Humza for his WHITE speech and for instructing Police Scotland to racially profile white men between 18-30.
