I also read that her husband is in fact a Catholic Priest- moves over from being a priest in the Anglican Church after they were married.
Just one more reason I am thankful the anti-federalists in the US were smart enough to insist on a bill of rights that enshrined rights that cannot be violated here. If they had not done so and had accepted the Federalist arguments that a free people would never vote and legislate themselves into tyranny, we would be in the exact same boat as every other country in the Angloshere like the U.K. and Canada where they have actually gone forward with criminalizing and charging people with thoughtcrime. And people are battering at the gates to bring those laws here anyways.

Did the police really visit this journalist? Was it for the reason the Daily Caller said? We only see one side of the story. A reputable publication would not run the story without some attempt at asking the police for their comment. But the Daily Caller is not a reputable publication.

After misgendering but not for misgendering?
I had a Christian neighbor that got arrested by police after she asked another neighbor for a glass of water.
This really happened.
The reason for her arrest was that she commanded her daughter to physically assault the daughter of these other neighbors.

The story is in many publications. I myself did not read it in the Daily Caller (which I noticed had a much more confrontational, shock-jock tone than any of the others I saw). It is in the Telegraph and Yahoo News as well, if those meet your standards.
The police requested that she come down to do a taped interview. When she said what would happen if I don’t they said they would come get her by force. The lady and the police confirmed this.

I know that the laws about defamation/liable as far as media/journalism are different in the UK than in the US.
Will bet you my dog (and I like my dog) that there is more to this story.

Critics of transgenderism pointing out the pseudoscience used to pushing puberty blockers onto children and conditioning them for the surgical procedures get visits from officers as violent crime goes up in England and Wales and complaints about how there aren’t enough officers to deter real crimes make news internationally. There’s nothing to see here.

What makes you think there is more to the story? The U.K. has a law against “malicious communications”, the top definition of which is listed “grossly offensive” language. That is what this woman is being investigated under. This isn’t the first time this law has been used against citizens in the U.K. for “misgendering”, “deadnaming”, or “transphobia”. A lady was arrested a few months ago in Hertfordshire and actually placed in a cell for half a day because she called a transgender dude a man on twitter. The same dude had Graham Linehan, a sitcom writer, investigated for calling him a man. It is really against the law over there to offend transgender people, however they define that.

My gut.
We are called to radical love. 1 Cor 13, Matthew 5 tells us to love our enemies and to do good to even people who do horrible things to us.
I cannot square using language that I know will insult someone, insulting them in public media, when there is also a law against it, with Christianity. “Be rude on twitter to sinners” is not a beatitude.

I see. So Christians are “called” to this “radical love,” but the police, journalists, and law makers are “called” to arrest, try and jail individuals merely because they don’t believe in the latest gender ideology?
Whatever happened to we are called to tell the truth?
Or: We are called to obey God? Or, Love God (the Truth) above all else?
To be clear:
You are not saying the Catholic journalist did anything wrong nor anything to justify being arrested, merely that she shouldn’t complain or raise a fuss about being arrested and potentially fined or jailed BECAUSE “Matthew 5 tells us to love our enemies and to do good?”
Or are you claiming she should be liable to justice merely because she didn’t go along with the pretence and God calls us to “love our enemies” and always do what THEY want?
I thought it was God’s will we are supposed to do?
How do you reconcile doing God’s will when other humans tell us to do what is contrary to it?

I did not see the police confirmation in the Telegraph because I didn’t want to register with them. But I am quite sure the something happened, possibly with the police and the journalist. But if you have a citation of the police giving a response, I would appreciate a link to it. I would like to know the context and details before I can conclude anything definitive about this story.

(Basically Leaf, I am asking if there is relevant meaning to your question here with regards to this action, or is the question rhetorical?)
If this occurred, or if it occurred with other people elsewhere, would you condemn such actions here on the forums?

I think I read it in the Yahoo article, you can check that one out. I’d give you the link but Yahoo wants a data agreement or something now which I don’t feel inclined to give. But if you search for This lady’s name and Yahoo is sure it will come up.

Wether you think it is rude or not is irrelevant to whether we should criminalize beliefs or simple statements of fact such as saying a man is a man or a woman is a woman. One of these activists had a municipality remove a sign that was nothing more than the dictionary definition of “woman” as hatespeech. That is pretty Orwellian and straight up thoughtcrime enforced in a real life democratic country. There is nothing Christian in running a government that outlaws truth because a very few people get offended.
