My third amendment concerns Section 4B of the Public Order Act 1986 and the new offence that the Minister has just referred to of intentionally causing a person harassment, alarm or distress because of their sex. My amendment would make it clear that this new offence, under Section 4B of the Public Order Act, did not encompass misgendering a trans person, which could conceivably be cast as intentional harassment based on the perception that they were not the sex they claimed to be—in other words, because of their sex.
