Astonishing. The police in Scotland, it seems, are getting themselves all fired up on trans ideology, ready for the draconian new hate crime law. From the Telegraph:

Scottish police have been accused of targeting JK Rowling by inventing a fictional character called “Jo” who thinks that sex is binary and bizarrely calls for transgender people to be sent to gas chambers.

To the gas chambers?? That's a bit worse than "bizarrely". It's an extraordinarily offensive slur, which takes the whole exercise to a different level of sheer nastiness.

At an official Police Scotland hate crime event, attendees were presented with a “scenario” in which Jo is described as a passionate gender-critical campaigner who, like Rowling, believes people cannot change sex and has a large social media following.

Women’s groups claimed the character was a thinly veiled parody of the Harry Potter author, whose Christian name is Joanne and is called Jo by her friends, and fuelled unfounded conspiracies that there was a link between gender-critical beliefs and Nazism.

It's straight from the trans activist play-book: Nazis, genocide of trans people, a trans Holocaust. Delusional. And the police, astonishingly, are playing along with it.

The hate crime “youth engagement” event, held in February, was part of a programme of events organised by Police Scotland for LGBT history month.

Ahead of the enforcement of controversial new hate crime laws coming into force on April 1, other sessions were given to police officers in which concerns about male-bodied people having access to women’s facilities were mocked and described as “completely ludicrous”.

Meanwhile, the SNP’s controversial proposals for a ban on conversion therapy were presented as being part of continuing work to “achieve equal rights for all” and likened to the decriminalisation of homosexuality.

Scotland is heading for a very dark place.
