Ok. I wonder if they had to change it at some point like my state did after some lawmaker step grandfather got charged with it and then they changed the law.
Btw, that case was dismissed because the victim and their family declined to testify due to threats.

Plenty of cases where step grandfathers have been charged with incest, so it does happen in many places. Here's just an example.

yes, I know that. This was for those that insisted that a step grandparent could not be charged. Many states acknowledge it as the crime it is.

Wow I didn't know about this. They are discussing it on the radio ATM.
TV writer Graham Linehan's arrest over transgender posts sparks free speech outcry in the UK
Graham Linehan, co-creator of British sitcoms “Father Ted” and “The IT Crowd,” says he was arrested for his posts criticizing transgender people.
"His post on X came just days after the head of the U.K’s Equality and Human Rights Commission said transgender women would be excluded from women-only spaces such as toilets, single-sex hospital wards and sports teams. The decision followed a ruling by Britain’s highest court that the terms “woman” and “man” refer to biological sex for antidiscrimination purposes."
"Conservative members of Parliament condemned the arrest.
“Britain used to be known for its sense of humor,” Conservative MP Claire Coutinho said. “Now the police are arresting people for making jokes.” "

I think he was also joking. The police who escorted him off the plane were the normal plain clothes armed cops who are stationed at all UK airports.
So we now can't make jokes about transgender persons? Also, it's not a good idea to make a bomb joke at an airport baggage desk when asked about your suitcase contents. You will promptly be arrested too.
Will have to remember - no explosive comments at airports.

Here's another article with the actual tweet in it.
The actual words were
"Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls," he said.
LOL it's a joke - he got a gag order for a gag! FFS he's a comedian. We are in danger of losing our SOH in the UK.

He said five armed police officers escorted him off a plane at Heathrow Airport in London.
Conservative politicians and trans critics condemned the arrest, with JK Rowling saying it was "totalitarianism".

Link cGraham Linehan, the Irish co-creator of TV comedy shows Father Ted and The IT Crowd, has been arrested on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to posts about transgender people on X.
Warning: This story contains information and language that some people might find offensive.
Linehan, 57, said five armed police officers escorted him off a flight at London's Heathrow Airport and told him he was under arrest for three posts.
London's Metropolitan Police said a man had been arrested on Monday, local time, after arriving on an American Airlines flight.
"This is in relation to posts on X."
He said in a statement on the Substack website that he had been interviewed by police about each of the posts.
While he was being questioned, a check by a nurse showed he had high blood pressure, and he was escorted to a hospital, where he was placed under observation, he said.
In one of the posts on X, Linehan said that "if a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act".
"Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls," he said.
This is one of the posts Graham Linehan says he was arrested over. (X/@glinner)
The other two posts included a picture of what appears to be protesters on a crowded street corner with the words "a photo you can smell" attached to the post.
The third tweet was a reply to the photo, and it said "I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes", and it ended with an expletive.
Linehan defended his tweets in his article on Substack, saying, "I explained that the 'punch' tweet was a serious point made with a joke".
He said he told police it was "certainly not a call to violence".
According to his interpretation of his bail conditions, Linehan is "not to go on Twitter".
He said that this proves this is "just a legal gag order designed to shut me up while I'm (in) the UK, and a demand I face a further interview in October".
The court upheld an appeal by a campaign group on whether transgender women are legally women under equality legislation.
That decision followed a ruling by Britain's highest court that the terms "woman" and "man" refer to biological sex for antidiscrimination purposes.
In response to Linehan's arrest, author and outspoken critic of transgender rights, JK Rowling, said "this is totalitarianism", adding that it was "utterly deplorable".
Piers Morgan also thought the arrest was "absolutely ridiculous".
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch condemned the arrest.
"Sending five officers to arrest a man for a tweet isn't policing, it's politics," she said in a post on X.
"It's time this government told the police their job is to protect the public, not monitor social media for hurty words."
Conservative MP Claire Coutinho said: "Britain used to be known for its sense of humour, now the police are arresting people for making jokes."
However, a spokesperson for his office and UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said they had been clear about their "priorities for crime and policing".
Sir Keir and Yvette Cooper issued a statement. (AP: Benjamin Cremel/Pool)
"The prime minister and home secretary have been clear about where their priorities for crime and policing are, and that's tackling anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, street crime, as well as reducing serious violent crimes like knife crime and violence against women," the spokesperson told the BBC.
In response to a question about JK Rowling's post on X, the spokesperson said, "no" the UK is not a totalitarian state.
The UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) says that British law "recognises five types of hate crime on the basis of: Race, Religion, Disability, Sexual orientation, and Transgender identity".
Any crime can be prosecuted as a hate crime if the offender has "demonstrated hostility based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity", the CPS website states.
