    Publishing opinions you disagree with - no matter how bad these opinions are - is categorically different from committing an actual crime.

      She’s the reason why the UK has ruled that transgender people are not equal in protection to the law.

      So she hasn’t committed a crime, she just enabled people’s existence a crime. So she’s totally absolved now!

      She’s also spending money on hate movements so it’s not just opinions. What she’s doing is not a crime, but honestly it should be. She ends up influencing policy which hurts an entire class of people.

        This is called plutocrcacy. When the wealthy elites determine how policy should govern the people without the people in question actually getting a say.

        Before trans rights became a ‘culture war’ issue, most people didn’t give a shit what your identity was or what you wanted to do in private - that was just between you and your doctor.
