Parliament and practice define it. Somewhere else in this thread the definition is given.
And I see the list is growing…
Wheeeeeeeeeee…down the slippery slope we go!
If I say a transgender woman isn’t a woman, is that a hate crime? If I tell her she can’t compete in female sports? If I tell her the only “real” women have a different chromosomal make up that he/she does? Where’s the line in me making a point? Where is that one step too far? If I say he/she still looks like a man or that she looks “butch” for woman?
Which fact/opinion is the “hate” trigger?
You see, these laws sound great when they’re being dreamed up out of good intentions, but it’s in the long-term administration of them, and the political creep, that ultimately leads to ensnaring people they were never meant to ensnare.
Hell, we are seeing the same thing now in America, but in a completely different way!
People are saying, “Can Trump even DO that?” Well, “convention” has said “No,” and most Presidents have honored such conventions, but the Constitution is silent on it and we don’t have a law prohibiting it (because we never thought we needed one!), so he’s doing it!
SCOTUS has said he can’t be sued for acts taken as a President, so unless Congress enacts a law forbidding an action, he can do it!
With the Republican Cult in total control if the House & Senate, and even SCOTUS…well, it’s party time at the White House and the majority of Americans are not invited!
