A non apology from Manchester police....

www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/oct/06/feminist-linda-bellos-women-trans-male-violence

From this article ...

‘Terf stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist. Online, it often it appears alongside violent rhetoric: punch a Terf, stab a Terf, kill a Terf. This language is used to dehumanise women who are critical of gender as part of a political system. Many of the women called Terf are, like Bellos, lesbian. These lesbians are increasingly demonised by the wider LGBT+ community, or ignored in order to avoid the controversy altogether.’

Gove is a MP and LGBT police went after his wife recently. I don't think this will encourage him to vote for self-ID.

WTF? Do you mean the actual police?

Oh I forgot judges punishing women for NOT lying in court

Yes that was a WTAF moment.

Thanks for confirming in writing GMP that there is no violence, murder, intimidation or any real physical risk to trans people in Manchester, and that what you and the TRAs mean by 'hate crime' really is women speaking out about their rights.

Because clearly, from that tweet, that's all you have to worry about. And police only mind about this behaviour in women. It's specific. Police are fully on the side of using slurs against women to suppress their freedom and rights to debate, to leaflet, to meet, and to speak the truth. Men can crack on, that's fine.

How the hell are the Home Office or whatever the hell they call themselves this week indulging this? It couldn't be more blatantly sexist, politically partisan and offensive.

Shockingly depressing, police on horseback called to disperse three women leafletting, a police force tweeting hate speak and encouraging violence and doxing

DayMay · 07/10/2018 19:38

Thought police.

TRAns are Government funded.

No MPs speaking out .

Totalitarian state.

Yes, I don't see that apology as good enough. Combined with WYP this paints an alarming picture for women.

What a disgusting tweet. You read in the media about some police officers behaviour to minority groups and pass on to the next story. Until it affects you and suddenly, you get why not everyone trusts the police to do the right thing. I now get it. And as a white woman, I am not part of a minority group.

FairTradeFairPlay · 07/10/2018 19:35

WY, Liverpool and Manchester police officially hate women.

Bowlofbabelfish · 07/10/2018 19:33

if it was perceived as so we apologise,

This isn’t an apology. It’s a ‘I’m sorry if you felt...’ statement which is putting blame back on the complainant

Yesterday we shared a post from the village re trans graffiti, the post was not intended to cause any offence and in no way was it meant to show we endorse violence against anyone, if it was perceived as so we apologise, we are against all forms of hate #WeStandTogether twitter.com/GMPPrideNetwork/status/1048993980946546699?s=17

I agree. There shouldn't be any hatred or intolerance towards ANY community. Surely that's a bit of a stating the obvious thing to say? I'm really not sure what their point is here.

I'm for women's rights, not anti-trans.

FairTradeFairPlay · 07/10/2018 19:19

Send this to Michael Gove MP.

Gove is a MP and LGBT police went after his wife recently. I don't think this will encourage him to vote for self-ID.

Budgieinaberet · 07/10/2018 19:06

I might take some stickers to the gay village

A member of the public challenged the first Tweet fully supporting the venues and was BLOCKED for asking a simple question (only unblocked when somebody raised this).
