Baker was arrested on July 12 and later charged with intentionally encouraging the commission of an offence, namely assault by beating. Baker, giving evidence, said she wished she could take the words back and that she has friends who are trans-exclusionary radical feminists. Baker said: “The only people suffering more than us is migrants – thank God I’m not a transgender migrant.”
Asked by Ms Nicholls what she thought would happen as a result of her words, she said she believed “nothing negative would happen”.“I don’t want someone to be beaten up because of some rubbish that comes out of my mouth, I just want attention for some of the causes that I believe in,” Baker said.
