Caroline Farrow, a Catholic columnist in the UK, is reporting that she’s under investigation by the Guildford police for misgendering a child in a series of tweets after she did an interview with Piers Morgan on “Good Morning Britain”:
Had a message from Guildford police tonight about my tweets following an appearance on @GMB with Susie Green and Piers Morgan. Susie Green has reported me for misgendering her daughter.

I have pointed out to the police that I am a Catholic journalist/commentator and it is my religious belief that a person cannot change sex. That we are in the middle of a national conversation about what it means to be male and what it means to be female.

She is allegedly being interviewed “under caution”:
Nonetheless following my appearance on National Television the CPS have decided I need to be interviewed under caution for misgendering Susie Green’s child.

This is freaking nuts:
I can’t sleep I am so furious. According to the police I ‘misgendered’ which implies that I used the wrong pronouns/nouns and this potentially constitutes a criminal offence. Let that sink in.

Piers Morgan is aware of it, which is actually good news as he’ll be able to apply media pressure to help fight this insanity:

Farrow says she doesn’t even remember the offending tweets referred to in the complaint:
I don’t even remember said tweets! I probably said “he” or “son” or something. ??♀️

All I have been told that following an appearance on Good Morning Britain I made some tweets misgendering Susie Green’s child and that I need to attend a taped interview.

I don’t even remember said tweets. This was in September! But I really not got give a flying toss. I have done nothing wrong, nothing illegal and will happily do jail time for my right to say that people cannot change sex.

Oh and if I don’t go for an interview about some tweets that allegedly misgendered, I will apparently be arrested. Which is nice. ??

I now need to inform my children that mummy is in trouble with the police because there was this girl, who was born in a boy’s body, whom I might have inadvertently referred to as a boy….

People are now going after her family:
Meanwhile a group of people have terrified and harassed my family. Doxed my children, made violent and sexual threats, signed me up to porn accounts, did the same to my husband, threatened to visit here. And tumbleweed…

And worse:
This person wants to use the police to sexually humiliate a woman for their own gratification. https://t.co/QpXE9o0t6x

A man has published photos & identifying details of my kids, doxed my ex, talked about my “Catholic pu**y” called me a slag, slut, c**t and scrubber together with sexually humiliating insults & gets away with it. Whereas I use the wrong pronouns referring to a public figure…

Dr Harrop threatened to come round to the church I worship in. He tweeted photos of the interior and is now boasting that I might be locked up for 2 years. https://t.co/Av9gWXRB7s
