Telegraph interview with Miranda Yardley:
'First person prosecuted for transgender hate crime says it is a waste of police time'
(extract)
"The 51-year-old accountant, who still identifies as male, was prosecuted after Helen Islan, the mother of a transgender child, accused him of "outing" her son by posting a picture of him on Twitter.

Mr Yardley was interviewed at length by Essex Police in April 2018, before a file on the case was sent to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

Prosecutors concluded that the offending tweet constituted a transgender hate crime, and he was summonsed to appear before Basildon Magistrates' Court, charged with harassment under section 2 of the Prosecution from Harassment Act 1997.

But the case was thrown out by a District Judge, who declared that the prosecution had failed to provide any evidence that the tweet constituted harassment.

It was later established that the picture Mr Yardley had Tweeted had previously been published online by the complainant herself.

Mr Yardley told the Telegraph that the whole experience had been like a "Kafkaeque nightmare" and he warned that highly organised transgender lobbyists were using the police to shut down anyone who disagreed with them.

His comments come after it emerged that two women have been subjected to police investigations for Tweeting allegedly offensive comments to Susie Green, the CEO of the Transgender charity, Mermaids.

Yesterday Surrey Police confirmed that the investigation into catholic commentator, Caroline Farrow had been dropped after Ms Green withdrew the complaint.

But another investigation launched by Wiltshire Police into the feminist campaigner, Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, is understood to be still ongoing." (continues)

cf Tonight's Dundee Evening Telegraph:

'Dundee Trans Pride headliner dropped after alleged threat to ‘throat punch’ women’s group'
(extract)
The headliner of the long-awaited Trans Pride march taking place in Dundee next Saturday has been dropped after being charged by police.

Peyton Rose Monteux, who performs under the name Peyton Rose, was charged by officers in connection with a tweet in which she is alleged to have urged people to “throat punch” members of a women’s group For Women Scotland. (continues)

Trans Pride Scotland hopes next Saturday’s march in the city centre will provide a safe space for all trans people and their supporters, highlighting the need to protect transgender people from harm.

Figures from Stonewall suggest that two out of five trans people have been threatened with violence in the last five years.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “Police in Edinburgh have charged a 27-year-old woman in connection with a communications offence following a threat being made on social media, which was reported to police on Tuesday March 19. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”

It seems to be a close knit mutually supportive group.

Those TRAs promoting the rights of adult males are very invested in supporting Mermaids, Susie Green and other TRAs who support and affirm children.

BlooperReel · 21/03/2019 16:16

Huh, figures, so she is cossetted and revered by all the trans allies and the institutes they have infiltrated.

'Mis-gendering' is not a crime,. Not subscribing to trans ideaology is not a crime. Stating actual, proven facts is not a crime. I am sure she is watching here, well Susie, fucking get over yourself.

Whatisthisfuckery · 21/03/2019 15:20

It’s creepy as fuck. It’s like a cross between shape shifting and an all access security force/hit squad. Some pushy guy is hitting on you in a bar so you nip off to the toilets to get away from him, but no, he’s just magically taken on his woman persona and he’s in there after you. It’s horribly destabilising, not to mention incredibly dangerous to women.

R0wantrees · 21/03/2019 14:37

Absolutely R0. Have said many times it's almost more of a threat to women's rights than male/female transgenderism.

It is of course more of a threat to women's rights but also represents some very serious additional threats to Safeguarding frameworks.

That in North America young people are having what was previously described as neccessary transgender surgery and medical interventions based on their non-binary 'identity' means an end to any pretence or possibility of there being a medical need /checks & balance and duty of care.

Whatisthisfuckery · 21/03/2019 14:29

I imagine both a male and female warrant card might come in quite handy. A violent male suspect or a gang of teenage lads causing trouble, no problem, male. A female suspected of carrying drugs about her person, out comes the female warrant card, now stand still while I conduct a full body search.

Of course it’s rather easier for the police to focus on transphobic hate crimes as there’s very few of them, and they can encourage a bunch of reports from white middle-class middle-aged males who’ve been hurted on social media, which is nice easy work. Racism, well they don’t really give a shit about that anyway, and sexism, what now?

To throw them a bone the government told them they were protected under "discrimination by perception" and commissioned GI to write service provider and employer guidelines on trans. In which they told them it was likely to be illegal to discriminate against anyone claiming to be the opposite sex by not treating them as they identified.

R0wantrees · 21/03/2019 14:22

Non-Binary legislative protections/policies make any sex-based decisions impossible.
Its a trojan horse quietly trotting behind gender self-id proposals.

Ereshkigal · 21/03/2019 14:19

Yes I would assume that too.

Ereshkigal · 21/03/2019 14:19

Gender fluidity/non binary isn't really recognised in the EA. Which was a bone of contention for TRAs following the government response to the Trans Equality Inquiry and why they wanted the protected characteristic changed to "gender identity".

R0wantrees · 21/03/2019 14:16

Is this the same officer that PP is talking about, who took Police to court to obtain a femail warrant card? I'd assume that carrying 2 (both 'sexes' ) came after some sort of precedent was set presumably by a male making a permanent transition?

Ereshkigal · 21/03/2019 14:13

It would seem so, R0.

R0wantrees · 21/03/2019 14:03

from the DM article,
(extract)
"A Scotland Yard police officer has become Britain's first gender-fluid cop and is carrying two ID cards, in the name of Abi and Callum.

Their identity has otherwise remained hidden, but they are now identifying as both genders after 13 years serving as a man, following the Met's 'Bring Your Whole Self To Work' diversity initiative.

Although the officer was terrified when they first came into work, they are now relieved that they are being accepted without having to hide anything.

The officer told the Sun: 'The first time I walked into a Met building as Abi, I was hyperventilating so much I almost passed out.

'Abi is a part of me that exists and I want that part to be recognised and validated"

So this is the Police Force's Philip Bunce?

AstonishedFemalePersonator · 21/03/2019 13:57

Sorry. I had remembered it as Colin.

Ereshkigal · 21/03/2019 13:54

Sorry was it Colin? Maybe there's a Callum doing something else Grin

AstonishedFemalePersonator · 21/03/2019 13:53

Colin. And Abi.

Ereshkigal · 21/03/2019 13:53

Yes I remember that one with two warrant cards. It was a while back, 2016/17 I think. Callum was the male name ISTR

R0wantrees · 21/03/2019 13:39

Eresh Do you know detailsof the challenge by a male police officer who sought to hold a female warrant card (and with it assume the right to search females)?
I was rewatching PP on the This Morning interview with Ruth, Eamon & India & she talked about it.
Im also vaguely aware that there was discussion about a police officer who presents as both 'male' & 'female' and so has two warrant cards (don't know if two different officer numbers?)

Ereshkigal · 21/03/2019 13:34

Former officer. Not former trans!
