I’m so hoping this goes our way. It’s ridiculous that the police think the way to combat phobia (irrational fear), is to employ an arbitrary set of punitive rules that nobody quite understands, and that people have no idea they’re even breaking or how it is that they are breaking them, let alone the fact that they have no recourse to appeal.
As DocStock’s witness statement so eloquently explains, the motives of such unwitting transgressions has already been determined, even though the vast majority of people discussing this topic hold, in actual fact, no malice whatsoever towards transpeople. They might however develop malice if they are effectively criminalised for expressing a perfectly reasonable opinion, for which they are then ensnared by some arcane opaque and undemocratic mechanism whereby they are punished for a non-crime they have been subjectively supposed to have committed because of complaints made by anonymous persons for reasons unknown.
If the police want to help capture the hearts and minds of the general public, this is not the way to go about it, in fact I’d say that it will just achieve the opposite, and that transposable will be harmed by this, rather than helped.
