I have little doubt that this new law will be weaponised by trans rights activists to try to silence, and worse still, criminalise women who do not share their beliefs.
A cursory look at social media shows that some of these activists already have one high profile woman in Scotland in their sights. Experience shows that working class women will also be targeted.
There is no right not be offended but the muddled discourse about these issues currently in the public domain does not make that clear.

I was one of a number of members elected on a manifesto to deliver better transparency and scrutiny over the party's finances and governance.
I'm sad to say we failed to do that, and it wasn't for the want of trying.
I just regret it's come to this. I would like those who stood in the way of reform back in 2020-21 to reflect on what they've done.
