> I don't want to be arrested for pro-trans tweets either

And that's the thing. I'm sure there are plenty of people (probably even the guy who was arrested in the article) who could claim a pro-trans tweet "caused them anxiety", and get someone arrested, or at least subject to a required police interview, which isn't much better. I am dumbfounded that people seem to think this situation is ok, and the UK law in question is sane.

I think it's because you're only hearing from the more militant internet-comfortable commenters who enforcement currently favors. When it's swung back on them in due time--and it will be, as it always is--then suddenly it'll be a grave injustice.
