PLEASE RT: STATEMENT on Interim Injunction obtained from High Court of Justice. Today 18 December 2018 I was awarded an interim injunction prohibiting the Respondent from misgendering me, making any reference to me on social media, dead naming me, sharing information about me.
The application was heard before Jason Coppel QC sitting as a Deputy Judge of the High Court and was 'on notice'. The injunction will remain in force until trial or further order and applies to the Respondent or anyone acting on the Respondent's behalf or with encouragement.
At this time I will not be formally naming the Respondent due to an ongoing criminal investigation; however, I can confirm that it is the same person who was arrested by Hertfordshire Police on 1 December 2018; i.e. a 38 year old female from the Hitchin area.
The ruling makes clear that misgendering is an activity that can constitute harassment in the context of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. It also makes clear the courts take the sharing of personal information seriously and will restrain in appropriate cases.
#Transgender hostile "feminists" think they are above the law and that they can harass, defame, and ridicule the trans community. The arrest on 1 December and now today's injunction, sends yet a further signal that transphobia based hate will not be tolerated.,
The law will step in to protect the #transgender community when the line is overstepped. I, for one, will continue to employ the legal tools available to me when harassed. END
