UPDATE: Wolf Member Facing Felony For "TERF Collective" Sticker

Sep 25

For allegedly placing a "TERF Collective" sticker on a media box, Thistle Pettersen is now facing felony criminal charges: Disorderly Conduct (947.01) - a Class B misdemeanor - with a Hate Crime enhancement (939.645(1) and (2)(b)).*

The complaint states that the hate crime enhancement is based on sexual orientation.

The TERF Collective is a national pro-woman group that embraces lesbian rights and has a significant number of lesbian members. They explicitly oppose the so-called "cotton ceiling" and activist pressure on lesbians to have sex with male partners who identify as women.

According to the co mp laint, the alleged victim said that he felt "attacked and intimidated" by the pro-woman sticker.

It is now clear that these charges are just the latest escalation in the years-long anti-feminist witch hunt being waged against Thistle.

*Note: While the complaint states that this raises the charge to a felony, this is not consistent with Wisconsin statutes, which means that this is either a grave error or an additional layer of prosecutorial overreach.
