The suggestion that children will kill themselves if denied puberty blockers would appear to be at odds with established good practice on avoiding imitational suicidal behaviour.🧵
The Samaritans say suicide should not be presented as a solution to a problem and that describing someone overcoming a suicidal crisis can help others do the same. They point out there’s rarely a single reason for suicide.

The Editors’ Code of Practice is also clear that nothing should be published that encourages copycat acts including anything that “makes suicide appear to be a solution to adversity”.

If you tell people with an axe to grind that a grindstone exists, that it is free to use and that, moreover, they should use it, it should not come as a surprise when that’s exactly what they do.
How Scotland’s Hate Crime Act has backfired spectacularly. 🧵
#HateCrime Image
It’s true that less has changed than many think. But that’s due to a Scottish Government and Police Scotland communications strategy so hopeless that the Hate Monster campaign to promote the law gifted its opponents a new, instantly recognisable Scottish cultural icon. Image
What was needed was strong leadership. Instead a minister who couldn’t explain the details of the law suggested misgendering might be a crime and the First Minister (who introduced the law) insisted it was up to police to decide what was illegal. They couldn’t, or wouldn’t. Image

Women have a right to gather peacefully in a public place to talk to each other about the challenges they face. They should not have to do so
surrounded by a hostile mob of men facilitated by Police Scotland. No other situation would be policed this way. 🧵
#LetWomenSpeak Image
It is not progressive for men to shout down female speakers and to drown them out with amplified music and rhetoric. Image
In Edinburgh today police allowed groups of demonstrators right up to the edge of the pen in which the women were allowed to congregate, even affording them a protective cordon. Those allowed to disrupt the event did so noisily and with signs many of the women found offensive. Image

Hate Incidents: how thousands of people are ending up on Scottish police databases for non-crimes.
A week away from the introduction of the Hate Crime Act, this is chilling. 🧵
#HateCrime
The new law extends the ways people can end up on a list, but Police Scotland have been recording accusations for several years.
This is their handbook:

So what happens when someone contacts police to report something they’ve seen that they don’t like?
This is the most recent police guidance:
