Retired police officer visited by police for missing the A off Freda Wallace's first name

In the words of the Baroness to Sir Mark Rowley are as applicable to Swansea Police as they were to the Met:

"In the meantime, must all reported incidents be recorded as a crime before anyone engages their adult brain?"

"On this occasion the incidents were reported by formr police constable Lynsay Watson; a transgender males dismissed by gross misconduct by Leicestershire Police as he waged a campaign of harassment against people with the legally protected belief that human beings cannot change sex. Your colleagues have allowed themselves to be exploited as tools in that continuing and orchestrated campaign"

Surely this has reached vexatious level by now?

Amazing. Maybe if the police are in touch with F Wallace, they might remind him (as he will always be a man as per the SC judgement, no human changes sex) that men flashing and exposing themselves (even with a single, saggy testicle) being a sex offence? It is most certainly a case of ‘alarm and distress’ for someone to witness such an ugly sight.

Maybe they’ve already had a word. Knowing how eager all the police forces are to stamp out sex crimes. Ok, that was a little sarcastic.

I have a name that can be fairly tenuously shortened to a male name and my best friends have called me by a male name since my teens!

Malicious communications my arse!

A woman named Freda, in all likelihood has been nicknamed Fred at some point during her life, which makes it even more bonkers. As a result it can be a sign of affection and just about as far as you can get from being hateful!

I have a friend is known at work by a male nickname as she has a female name of this type. She was telling me, shes had colleagues wonder if she'd transitioned and were too scared to ask! (She's not. She looks obviously female too). Its just the name shes had since a teen.

If I'd report to the police every time my (foreign) names get misspelled they.d never do anything else.

I believe the police considered it fell under the vague term 'malicious communication'. What exactly do they mean by malicious? I can't help feeling that they don't think it means what I think it means.

I have one of those names with a couple of different spellings, lots of us have. Admittedly changing the spelling of my name wouldn't make you think I was a bloke, but should I consider it malicious next time someone misspells it? We all know Fred's a bloke, it's as plain as the nose on his face: he can't seriously think the dropping of his desired 'a' is giving any game away.

Is Watson escalating for a particular reason or just because Watson has got away with it a few times now, Watson is just trying whatever?

When will the police think it will be appropriate to start investigating this person.

Good grief, this is extremely sinister, isn't it? Dead naming isn't illegal, the cops really need their heads knocking together - nationally. They're not the strong arm men for the damned Trannyban.

These views drew comment from a social media account called SEEN Police Official Open Public Network, which posted messages saying that its operator had asked South Wales Police to look into Larkman’s “telephone calls and emails”.

Is this trans-IDed man also pretending to be a Gender Critical account?

What the actual.... I wonder whether our champion of reporting to the police (but only on one side) was involved...

Honestly if a bloke has decided he is a woman and doesnt want dead naming then maybe he should choose something like Mary or Susan instead of just adding a letter to the end of his bloke name.

Have you seen the context of why this all blew up btw?

Its still online to check, but heres the screen shot.

She then tweeted a line to a story about Rosie Duffield a couple of days later saying it was timely, there was another exchange which again she laughed and then he blocked her.

Its really a report about absoluetely nothing and the context of how it blew up!!!

The police are bonkers.

Bloody hell.

Is shortening names now a hate crime?

I cannot believe the police have acted on that complaint.

Are the police forces making tactical decision to force a crisis to prompt the removal of any instruction to act on hurtie feels?

How politically stuuupid would an officer be to think that choosing to changing someones name is a criminal court case in the making when the author is ex-police in good standing in the community which she served.
