Is Misgendering a Hate Crime? | Good Morning Britain

[@unicornishcornish]

Why is it that actual men and women don't make a fuss when they get misgendered? Because they know who they are as opposed to the confused lot that constantly need to be coddled and have their identity reaffirmed.

[@tracygeddes5867]

No need to make a fuss if you are respected and not mis gendered.are you suggesting that a transgender does not know who they are? I think setting yourself up for a lifetime of scorn and derision from countless bigots is a sure certainly that you most certainly do know who you are and obviously they have no choice to be their authentic self in spite of the hate against them . Surely it is obvious that the misgendering is nothing but intentional and low brow behaviour from those that should know better.

There is no hate, in recognizing that someone is not that which they present themselves as-- That's just being observant of objective reality. There is only 1 kind of woman, and they're ALL born female-- making the use of 'Cis' entirely useless and irrelevant. A dude identifying as a woman doesn't make him a woman. They've gotten it totally wrong on gender. Gender, (there are 2 male, and female) that's it, refers to the sex assigned at birth and the social aspects of being male or female, respectively. Male and female are biological categories which are fixed and permanent. Then, they conflate gender and personality. Then, they conflate gender and gender roles. Then they conflate gender with sexual preference. Then, they conflate males with females, fact with fiction and men with women. A woman isn't a personality, a social construct, a feeling, a sexual preference, or a costume that a man can just put on or take off-- She's an adult, human, female. As it turns out, there's a prerequisite to being a woman-- and that's being born female.

This takes the cake. How would a stranger even know how to address someone based on their sexuality or gender. Don't even know the person. Our country is really getting carried away with sensitivity. In the last 2000 years people have referred to others in not so pleasing way. I just think all this is coming out of a generation that is really spoiled. For the most part have been given everything in their lives growing up, and now they are so sensitive on going it alone on parting from home. That is what I have seen, and even in our government. The people have no grit anymore to handle life's problems. Whining is all I call it. Whine, Whine, Whine about everything. No wonder so many are getting nowhere with their lives. Instead of standing up and face you future, you keep running away. Focus your minds on doing something that adds value to society.

It does not matter the circumstances a person should not be criminalised , have a criminal record, be imprisoned, lose their job, become unemployable, lose their home etc,., etc,., for the supposed crime of mis-gendering.

[@ricardotomaso7069]

My understanding is that nobody can be 'prosecuted' under the Equality Act, as it is Civil rather than Criminal law. So, people are wrong to talk about 'hate crime' then use the Equality Act to back it up. For a 'hate crime' to be worthy of investigation by the Police, it must be based on a crime, that is to say, criminal law. Police do get involved in the misuse of electronic communications (Communications Act / Malicious Communications Act), which is why these type of cases are often based on what somebody wrote on Twitter. The whole thing is bow locks as far as I am concerned.

[@oops9678]

Even trans individuals slip up with each other every once in a while. I watched a trans gaming marathon on Twitch, and while introducing themselves, one of the participants referred to another as "he" because she had a deep voice. Misgendering someone is not on the same level as leaving a banana at someone's doorstep. The banana would've taken a conscious effort to be racist just as calling someone a derogatory name would. Messing up a pronoun mid-sentence is nothing like that. I call people by the wrong pronouns sometimes who aren't even trans if I talk fast enough.

@@tracygeddes5867 No, I actually think that everyone deserves to be able to voice our opinions and when it's one person's turn to speak, it's everyone else's turn to shut up.

I'd rather listen to all of the arguments, and then respond with intelligence (but hey, I have IQ 147). If India wants to be heard, India should be prepared to shut up and listen when it is someone else's turn to talk. Being offended does not create a license to be ignorant. Interrupting is ignorant. If YOU think that being offended gives you the right to be ignorant, that's a YOU problem. I don't excuse bad behaviour. Plain and simple.
