As I was saying about the police.....

Excellent result, OP. The only thing that would have made this better is if the police said they were going to warn the complainant about harassment of you and waste of police resources.

Can I also say that I am also very happy that this thread remained, and the bullies who reported your other thread didn't get their way of silencing and manipulating you this time. Thank you mods!

Good result Winnie, hopefully no more will come of this rather silly episode. Frankly if that person is doing this to others, they could be charged with something like 'wasting police time'.

I brilliant podcast I listen to (all killa no filla) was saying that the complaints to the police from two women are equal to a complaint from one man.

Oh seriously? It takes the word of far more than two women to be equal to one man. As per this case from 2006. Two female teachers vs one male doctor. They believed him, not them.

Or look at the attrition in the cases of Worboys or Mitchell. It takes many many more than two women to be equal to one man, most of those women's voices were dismissed before court.

The figure seems closer to 20:1.

glad that all worked out well for the OP.

Rather reminds me of the old joke:

"I didn't come here to be insulted!"
.
"Well, where do you normally go?"

Well the original description of events have been described on twitter as "ruining a TW life" by TRAs so on that basis, I'm guessing exaggerating/misrepresentation/hyperbole/'alternative facts'. Any/all of those things.

I have been puzzling over what claims they would have had to make to get an investigation opened in the first place.
Then I remembered the bogus training of police officers and schools that the transgender organizations do and the fraudulent Equality Act documents they disseminate and suddenly it makes perfect sense.

I don't either, bewilderness.

The only way I can rationalise it is that TRA's have created an atmosphere via the press and social media that their struggles are the equivalent of the civil rights movement and/or the Holocaust.

You can imagine the "I am totally a victim of a hate crime - Imagine if I were..." conversation that led up to them going to the police.

I was one of the suspicious people on your original thread Winnie. Sorry about that (so many trolls around here at the moment!). Glad to hear this is all being dealt with sensibly.

I still do not understand why the report of two people in a verbal disagreement at a friends house would elicit a police response.

Thanks for the update, Winniesalot. It's encouraging that this incident seems to have been dealt with using common sense.

What a sensible outcome. Never saw that coming, given the current climate.

Thanks for updating OP.

I'm relieved it went well, and that you didn't get the West Yorkshire experience!

Hope things settle for you now.

"I don't believe at all that OP said she promulgated other attacks on the trans woman"
She said that her remarks were a catalyst for lots of other remarks addressed to the transwomen from other people at the local pub. Those were her words. And she has not explained them.

Sad state of affairs when that is how low the bar is set for "reasonable.

Although as persistent TRA posters on here go, they are at the "reasonable" end of the spectrum.

No. I think it dresses up like that but sometimes its slip shows...

Would all you women please stop presenting evidence and coherent arguments to support your views, it is most unfair, and extremely irritating to TRAs.

You're not playing nice, and it's most unwomanly to show yourselves to be smarter than a man. I mean, have you no decorum??!!

You must all work on smiling and nodding sweetly and being in awe at the nonsensical powerful arguments that they're presenting us with.

After all, us women aren't meant to have opinions, let alone be good at debating them. It's really mean of you all to show everyone how weak the TRAs arguments are, and to do it in a reasoned, calm manner. You're women, you're meant to get hysterical!

It's wise to be skepical about the OP. It might all be true, but we are on the Internet after all.

RatRolyPoly's fairy stories can be disregarded. Everything they say is just to push the TRA line. Although as persistent TRA posters on here go, they are at the "reasonable" end of the spectrum.

I don't believe at all that OP said she promulgated other attacks on the trans woman. Rat is misconstruing things again, in a rather manipulative way.

She said that the police told her that her conversation coincided with other apparent invalidations.

Beginning to think that Winnie has been arrested and handed-over to Stonewall for re-education.

Nothing from OP yet? Hope all is ok and she did take the advice given. Scary times when facts and perfectly sensible discussion results in police visits.

As we see from this thread there are still many males as well as transgenders who consider any disagreement or questioning of their beliefs by women to be an attack and if the woman repeats the offensive behavior of contradicting a male they are committing a crime and will be reported for remedial action to the thought crime police.

These are the threads that remind me that narcissists can not see anyone but themselves.

dark did you really not know about the Samaritans' advice? That talking about suicide promotes social contagion? It's talked about often on here.

Plus the Samaritans relentlessly point out that suicide is never, or rarely, attributable to one thing.

And that talking as though it is, is irresponsible.

and also to add Dark that there are many here who work / have worked responsibly with vulnerable groups of children and or adults and so do understand this.

Furthermore, there will be many people on the boards who have been personally affected by suicide / self-harm / emotional distress.

Hey, OP, any update? Hope all is well.

I also missed the sturdy pyjama affair, but what a weird, weird suggestion to deal with anything except a chilly winters night.
