That’s what Elon Musk calls it. In fact, the difference in the case you mention is simply that:
(i) Inciting racial hatred is a specific offense which doesn’t require a credible death threat. There is no offense of inciting hatred against TERFs. Like that or don’t – but the police don’t make the laws.
(ii) The context of Connolly posting during the riots in which actual violent crimes against minority groups were being committed.
