Met Police officer becomes Britain's first 'bi-gender' PC

Read and weep. Two warrant cards, one male, one female.
After this week and what we've learnt about the Met.

You couldn't make it up.

“The first time I walked into a Met building as Abi, I was hyperventilating so much I almost passed out.
I’ve done it a handful of times since and felt so happy that I got to be me at work. Abi is a part of me that exists and I want that part to be recognised and validated."

Is bi-gender the correct term? I'd hate to get it wrong.

Big-ender sounds better to me.

Could be a good thing. Abi is male but identifies as a woman so can be called on to search any traans woman who needed searching at the police station.
Since Abi is male I do not think that Abi could be used to search a trans man unless the trans man consented to a search by Abi.

This highlights (as do many things recently) the utter ongoing failure of the UK media to, well, report the news and keep the piblic informed. The headline for this should be something like "Met Police Officers Now Issued Multiple Warrant Cards, Any Name or Sex".

So can Abi strip search female suspects? Can Abi interview rape victims? In the light of the Couzen'c trial could women refuse to ' accompany Abi to the station"?

@BrandineDelRoy

Is this the guy that posed with the taser, wig, and weird teeth?
No, that’s someone calling themselves Skye, of WMP. They were at Birmingham Pride last weekend, in full WPC uniform and bad wig, waving a flag and shouting about how great it is to be accepted. Must have been a slow day for crime.

Meanwhile it seems that there are daily stories about how misogyny is rife in the force (I've just posted another one in Feminism Chat).

Restlessinthenorth · 05/10/2021 06:12

I know of an officer in WYP in exactly the same circumstances. Its mind boggling nonsense

FlyingOink · 05/10/2021 06:02

My understanding is that there's two of them now, with the double warrant cards. I'll have to double check. This person is still in the Met AFAIK.

NiceGerbil · 05/10/2021 04:19

Branding pretty sure that was someone else.

NiceGerbil · 05/10/2021 04:18

Google can't find anything on Callum/ ABI after 2017.

This is really old news.

At the time there were threads.

Summary.

  1. FFS
  2. Two warrant cards? What the hell? That is massively risky and surely against protocols
  3. Force confirmed at time that would be able to search women etc on a woman day.

Overall opinion.

Fuck off with this shit.

I am a woman! I am exactly like all other women! No Debate! Actually, I changed my mind, I'm maybe just a bit woman. On Tuesdays and Thursdays. Actually I'm both. Or neither. I'm fluid, I'm pan, I'm curious. But don't you dare get my pronouns wrong.

It's such a fucking insult to women who have been oppressed and abused since the dawn of time and can't simply opt in and out at whim.

So TWAWAM?

I hadn't noticed the date, saw it on Social Media tonight. Actually interesting they were doing this four years ago. I wonder if they're still in the force.

Oh just fuck off (not you, OP). So sick of these tedious narcissists.

NotMyCat · 05/10/2021 00:57

That's from 2017...
