It is in no way comparable as a disabled black women would legitimately have three separate protected characteristics. A TW would have one (being transgender) but is not female. If you define 'woman' to include anyone male, that dilutes protection for female people and will…

KC, in contrast to some of the deliberate misinformation doing the rounds.
Also worth reading interview from Baroness Kennedy, a lifelong advocate for women's rights who led the working group on misogyny.
This may be an unpopular view, but if the misogyny bill is going to have an aggravation for misogyny then logically it will have to be capable of applying to trans women, if the evidence supports the inference that the offender did in fact perceive the complainer as female. 1/
Baroness Kennedy’s report clearly recommended that the proposed offences in a misogyny bill should apply where the victims are ‘women or those who perpetrators perceive to be women’ this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse that is motivated by prejudice.
If a man threatens to rape a woman, he is unlikely to know if the victim is born a woman or a trans woman.
That behaviour should logically be seen as misogynistic. Again, this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse motivated by prejudice. This is not new.
The faux outrage claiming trans women have "double protection" under the law because of who they are is as ludicrous as being upset that a disabled Black woman has triple protection under the law. It in no way diminishes protection against misogyny for those who are born women.

Which body part is the “femalehood” located?
And no it doesn’t precious.
Do Black women “dilute protection” for White women? Why do you say yes?

There's no "if". Humza, following gender ideology, literally defines "woman" as consisting of trans women and "cis" women. This is a niche viewpoint and needs to be put in it's place, but unfortunately the SNP/Greens are officially committed to it.
