One rule for women and another for transgender women.

Having long green nails and heavy makeup, breaches Hertfordshire Police Forces uniform policy, unless of course you're trans! Then you can do what you like to "feel like a woman".

@NoNotMeNoSiree

As for the Cherry says Cherry says post, I get it. Even though it sounds ridiculous, you make your point. You don't want to see trans so Cherry says Cherry says instead of using any pronouns. Fair enough
It’s because you’re not allowed to correctly sex Cherry because MNHQ doesn’t allow that.

I thought most people knew that?

fitting in what
Thought that was clear from my posts?
Assuming you're genuinely asking, and have read them, I was meaning if you're trans, whatever you do looks wise isn't '' right. ''
There'll always be someone saying Erm, no.

If Cherry wanted to fit in Cherry would follow the same rules as the female police officers.

Cherry doesn't want to fit in as it doesn't get enough attention. Long green nails and heavy makeup has got Cherry the attention Cherry craves. Though I don't think a sad face photo in the daily fail is anything to aspire to.

But it's not about gossiping about looks, that's the point - it's that she is going against their uniform codes and being allowed to.

ZuttZeVootEeeVo · 09/01/2022 01:42

If you're trans though, that's my point - you maybe feel like you have to fit in.

Fitting in what? No other officer is allowed to wear nail polish and heavy makeup.

@nocoolnamesleft

It's that actual women would not be allowed to wear them in the same situation.
OK, I get that, but as a female who isn't trans, I can do my usual self of going out every day without makeup and painted nails (which I do every single day, can't remember the last time I wore either) and nobody cares. If you're trans though, that's my point - you maybe feel like you have to fit in. As in whatever you're going to do with your appearance, there'll be someone, somewhere judging and gossiping about your looks.

Not that it matters, but I'm female and not trans at all.

I honestly don't get this.
As in, she's wearing make up and nail varnish.
So bloody what?!
It can't be put down to anything like '' valid concerns, taking over toilets!''
I sometimes think anyone who is trans can't win (that's a saying in the UK, it doesn't mean trying to win an end game or anything!)
Don't wear make up.
'' You look too much like a bloke!!''
'' At least makes an effort -
Stop appropriating womanhood! Who says you can wear makeup or nail varnish?!
At least make it consistent.
Or should it be that people shouldn't be trans at all?
Genuinely (honestly) curious

Well, Cherry 🍒 is a Special Constable, just a bit more special than others it seems. They say Special Constables are allowed a bit more leeway in such matters, so any female Specials in Herts - you know what to do.
