A senior Scottish Government source told the Record there needed to be a 'reality check about this law' after celebs like Ally McCoist and JK Rowling spoke out against it.
An SNP minister has warned of "hysteria" gripping Scots over new hate crime laws after it emerged police received almost 4,000 complaints in just two days.
When told this was an issue the government was warned about, Brown told BBC Radio Scotland: "I think also, in the last couple of weeks, there has been a lot of misinformation and hysteria regarding this bill being introduced." They said: "There needs to be a reality check about this law - what it is and even more so about what it isn't.
The legislation was immediately tested by JK Rowling as she challenged Police Scotland to arrest her after making a series of posts calling trans women men. Referencing previous comments from the head of the Scottish Police Federation, the Ibrox legend added he believed the new law was unpopular with rank-and-file police officers because it was impossible to enforce.
