Woman arrested in front of her children for referring to a transgender woman as a man online

A mother was arrested in front of her own children and put in a jail cell for seven hours after she referred to a transgender woman as a man online. Three officers took 38-year-old Kate Scottow from her home before interviewing her at the police station about an argument she had with an activist on Twitter over the so-called "deadnaming" incident.
The mother from Hitchin, Hertfordshire had her photograph, DNA, and fingerprints taken and is still under investigation. She was arrested on December 1 and after more than two months, she still does not have her cell phone or her laptop returned to her, which she says is getting in the way of her studies for a Master in forensic technology, the Daily Mail reported.
