LGBT+ Police Network Wales survey: total gender ideology

need, dammit - typing in hurry on my way out1

You can be Maid of Honour, Best Woman, you name it. God, we're going to nedd a bloody big hall for the reception, aren't we...!

@CompleteGinasaur I'm Welsh and live in Wales and have done the survey. So at the mass marriage identification, could I be an attendant (bridesmaid in old money) ? I've never been one. (sniff)

Thanks CompleteGinasaur we can all feel special now.

Is there a similar survey where they are looking for information about how they can improve their relationships with people in the community who are female?

Or elderly?

Or of faith?

Or disabled?

Or of colour?

Or pregnant?

Or is it ONLY people who are LGB, but, especially the QT who are of interest Police Force?

I am sure I've read on here that QT aren't protected characteristics. They aren't even defined in law yet, are they?

Tee Hee, bad Ginasaur. Still, all those old pit villages need all the immigration they can get..

I'm Welsh, and a lesbian. And I currently identify as someone who has just married the lot of you. You are now, therefore, all Welsh by marriage and can fill in the survey at your leisure. You're welcome.

The damage inflicted across this country’s institutions is heartbreaking to watch. I am a proud immigrant and a Brit, I feel completely powerless at stopping this madness apart from talking about it with the family and close friends. I can feel the trust in police being seriously undermined. This cannot and must not continue unchallenged.

The daffodils are in a very sheltered south west facing spot close to a brick wall that has been warmed by the lovely bright sunshine we've had here for the past few days.

I was surprised to see them, but it's a very welcome sight as it's been so grey and rainy until now.

Our daffs are mere green stumpy fingers thrusting out of the ground at present. The snowdrops, otoh, are well out and shouting "nah nah, beat ya" at them.

FWIW my maiden name is Welsh so there must be some Welsh in me somewhere. That definitely counts and to PP who has daffodils emerging. How? It's about 4 degrees here and far to early for daffs.

That police department needs investigating for allowing members of the public to use them as their long arm security to silence wrong think. Please report yourselves for investigation.

I hope the police department responsible for this mess of a survey do come and read this thread.

They won't find hate. They will find a lot of reason to worry about the general public starting to perceive them as politically captured, and fast losing respect and credibility as a result. And possibly they'll still have enough grip left to think about whether this is a good thing, or something they should urgently try sorting out.

Because being a muppet while shouting right side of history does not make you any less of a muppet.

I may have laboured the point that they allowed me space to identify as I chose in all but the age question. Called them ageist.

I also told them that as someone without gender belief I had no way of honestly answering Q3.

Twas a depressingly badly written set of questions.

The original tweet says the survey is open to anyone.

It does not specify that you must be resident in Wales. Either on the tweet or on the landing page for the survey.

It is perfectly valid to use a Welsh postcode to access the survey if you are concerned by the issues encountered by LGBTQ+ community in Wales.

I am concerned and answered the survey in good faith.

Are you saying that because I live across the border in England, but regularly travel within Wales for work and social reasons that I am not allowed to participate? There is potential for me, my colleagues, and friends and family to be directly affected by the outcome of this survey and any recommendations drawn from it. I'm very concerned by your attitude around silencing women.

I'm also concerned by your inability to detect sarcasm. 🙄

Ha ha, I've done it twice. Once as me, once as my L-leaning teen. Both of us GC.

To be fair, the questions are utterly gobbledegook anyway.

Exactly.

“How would you describe your gender?”

Vaguely?

“Assigned at birth”

Fuck off.

“What pronouns do you use?”

All of them: personal, demonstrative, indefinite, relative…etc etc depending on the conversation.

“What is your sexual orientation ?”

Asexual and pansexual? Where are they in the Equality Act then?

“Have you ever been the victim of a hate crime?”

How likely is it that people will record actual crimes that have been definitively motivated by hate? Or will people record their perceived “non-crime hate incident”, because the two have been conflated? Such a sneaky question.

It’s just poor quality more than anything else.

I'm glad your cleared that up kitten. I'm a big foodie and thought I'd missed something!

I for one I’m completely convinced that TRA have never & do never encourage ppl to complete surveys with approved right think in areas they don’t live in
