Exploring the debate around gender, pronouns, and Scotland’s new hate crime law.

People online are threatening to report misgendering - for example referring to a trans woman as a man - to the police.

What existing laws apply across the UK around misgendering? And does Scotland’s new law prioritise trans people over women?
