“From the offset, Ms Townsend asserted that we would not change her mind and she fully believed that "male
bodied people" are not women and that the use of women's refuges should be for people who were born women.
Ms Townsend went on to assert that she "believes in sex, not gender". “

We are with you Lisa- don’t be bullied!

I am so grateful to Lisa Townsend for her calm, strong refusal to bend to the dictates of this nonsense.

Ms Townsend asserted that we would not change her mind and she fully believed that "male bodied people" are not women and that the use of women's refuges should be for people who were born women.

Pride in Surrey does not believe that a person holding elected office should be entitled to promote hateful rhetoric, use offensive language or refuse to work with the community about which she holds such controversial views.

Hmm

I will write again support of Lisa Townsend.

I hope others do too. These police officers are not acting in my name, in their PCC's name, or in most of their residents' names.

What's the Surrey Chief Constable's position, anyone know?

Ridiculous.

Of interest, here's Lisa Townsend's own account of what led up to this:
