Ahhhh yes, this will go well.
There will be men who claim to be women “perceiving” hate incidents in their thousands every day. Since evidence of malice or ill-will is not required for a hate crime or incident to be recorded, there will be thousands of them recorded every day.
Fasten your seat belts.

I wonder if they are at all aware how similar this is to blasphemy laws (i.e. identical), and how vulnerable it is to abuse from religious people.
Note: “Perception of the victim” will not apply to victims of other crimes. If you “perceive” that you were raped by a man, don’t think that means you can say things like “he” or “his” penis — you may be committing a hate crime.
