The Daily Mail reports that three officers showed up to the home of Kate Scottow in Hitchin, Hertfordshire and arrested her in front of her children on Dec. 1. The 38-year-old was reportedly detained for several hours, processed, and is currently under investigation.
Scottow was arrested after Stephanie Hayden, a biological man who identifies as a woman, told police that the mother of two had harassed him by calling him a man.
"I was arrested for harassment and malicious communications because I called someone out and misgendered them on Twitter," Scottow later wrote on the online forum Mumsnet.
Hertfordshire Police confirmed the arrest to The Daily Mail and said, "We take all reports of malicious communication seriously."
Court documents obtained by the paper on Sunday reveal that Scottow is accused of a "campaign of targeted harassment" Hayden.
The papers claim that Scottow used two separate accounts to engage in a "toxic" Twitter debate over transgenderism and tweeted "defamatory" messages about Hayden.
Scottow denied harassing Hayden and said she has the "genuine and reasonable belief" that a human "cannot, practically speaking, change sex."
However, Deputy Judge Jason Coppel QC issued an interim injunction on Scottow banning her from "referencing [Hayden] as a man" or linking him to his "former male identity."
This is not the first time Hayden has accused someone of misgendering him.

Nothing will stop this short of dead pigs. Kill them. Kill their spouses. They murdered Charlie Gard. They murdered Alfie Evans. They arrested and imprisoned Tommy Robinson for daring to speak the truth about the raghead groomers. And now this. They will do WHATEVER they are told, as long as that paycheck keeps comin' in. Nothing will change for the better until enough dead pig corpses are stacked in the streets.
And that holds true across the entire West.
