1/🧵 He did something similar after the murder of Brianna Ghey, using the mention of a hate crime as a kind of prop. He never talks about hate crimes themselves; he only talks about how virtuous it supposedly is for him to acknowledge that they exist.

Everyone in the press is obsessed with the same framing again and again where the "gender criticals" get a free pass to say whatever they want, dehumanise people as "trans ideology" or as the BBC now loves to do, refer to one minority by how they were born. No trans voices. Ever.

AFAICT, up until the 2010s casual transphobia among the general public in the UK was much worse than it is now, while the news media and government were mostly indifferent to us (apart from occasional salacious tabloid stories and transphobic comedy). Now that seems to have largely reversed

I would urge the same in Scottish courts.
It remains my recommendation for anyone with even a passing interest in the law or the criminal justice system to spend a couple of days sat in your local magistrates court and watch what goes on. I would be surprised if it didn't affect your views.

What gets me about both the reporting and the judge's language is that even supposing "gender ideology" is some sort of religious belief, you would be more respectful of someone's religious belief than this. "..born Robert Prevost but now identifying as 'Pope Leo'".
They keep fucking editing the article, but it's not any better. And this addition about why the judge referred to her as "them" is like a parody of impartiality
![An excerpt from the linked article that reads:
[The judge] explained that the prosecution used female pronouns to refer to the complainant during the trial, while Linehan's defence used male pronouns. The judge said she had chosen to refer to Brooks using "gender neutral pronouns and as 'the complainant'" in her ruling.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:umokacyt44veykd6qw5zokyi/bafkreifcuteahuy7btte3q77evxfatrh7ddbi676sw4squ6hrpshakcszm@jpeg)

Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.
