Let Women Speak leader says rally aimed to test Scotland’s new hate crime legislation, Telegraph reports
Let Women Speak , an organisation described by supporters as a “gender-critical feminist” campaign, led a rally outside the Royal Scottish Academy in the Scottish capital on Saturday.Keen-Minshull said her purpose was to “test the law” on the march to see how the police would handle gender-critical chants in light of Scotland’s new hate crime legislation, the Telegraph reported.
Keen-Minshull is not the first to challenge Scotland’s new law, which aims to protect people from a rising tide of hatred, Yousaf said the legislation, which is intended to consolidate existing hate crime laws, “absolutely protects people in their freedom of expression”.Counter-protesters on Saturday held placards, banners and flags, denouncing LWS’s standpoint and chanting pro-transgender messages.
