LONDON - A British judge on Friday backed a man who was visited by police responding to his “transphobic” comments posted on Twitter, saying their action had interfered with his freedom of speech.
In one message Miller, a former police office himself, wrote: “I was assigned mammal at birth, but my orientation is fish. Don’t mis-species me”, and in another he said: “You know the worst thing about cancer? It’s transphobic.” Miller took legal action against the local police force and on Friday judge Julian Knowles at London’s High Court upheld his claim, ruling the tweets were lawful and that police had disproportionately interfered with his right of freedom of expression.
Miller, who works in a plant and machinery company in eastern England, denied that he was prejudiced against transgender people, saying his position was “accurately described as gender-critical”.
