Police are investigating a chilling death threat sent to a group of nurses who campaigned to stop a transgender colleague using their changing room.

Officers have made an arrest after a man told the women – who won a high-profile tribunal case earlier this year – he was going to come to their hospital and ‘murder whoever doesn't support trans rights’.

A photograph of a large kitchen knife was attached to the email, which insisted it ‘isn’t a joke’ and warned ‘I know the address’ of where they work.

The same person is also thought to have sent Facebook messages to the gender-critical trade union group the women set up, telling them ‘the world would be a better place without your bigotry’ and ‘maybe you should kill yourself’.

When the death threat was discovered last week three of the NHS staff had to be escorted to their cars by security guards at Darlington Memorial Hospital, and seven of them stayed away from their workplace while waiting for police to act.

@lcakethereforeIam
"There's a boy recently who stabbed a girl multiple times because she rejected him, and he also injured the shopkeeper who tried to stop him. He got a slap on the wrist because the judge said he was smart. The traveller boys who raped some young girls got their wrists slapped because of their learning difficulties. What is the IQ that would see men and boys appropriately punished?"
Great question. Every woman needs to send this question to their MP.
I just don't understand why this behaviour against women is ignored. I mean, I do understand that harms to women are just not really considered serious, just inevitable or something. It's depressing.

The lifelong consequences of their own actions always take priority for boys over and above the life long consequences that have already been fished out on their female victims.

The impact on women and girls simply does not register in the eyes of the judge. They are not relevant. They are invisible.

Worse still girls who aren't bright or are from the wrong family background are viewed as being responsible. Even smart middle class girls who are in the wrong place at the wrong time are viewed as being responsible.

Basically boys are never responsible for anything even if there is clear intent to cause harm or fear.

Meanwhile girls are always responsible for being a victim and they should have known better.

I think we need to wait for the full story to come out to determine whether this is a lone individual or part of a group. Bash Back have gone a bit quiet recently but this looks like exactly the sort of person who would be groomed to become a TRA. Obviously his learning difficulties didn't prevent him sending a death threat by email.

The suspect's mother said he has learning difficulties and is an ‘extremely vulnerable adult’.
‘He is absolutely distraught,’ she told the Daily Mail.
‘What’s happened is he was angry and frustrated but he doesn’t mean intent.
‘He doesn’t understand the nature of his words because he doesn’t have capacity.’

The problem is a lot of the rhetoric of trans activists is designed to appeal to precisely that kind of person - male; vulnerable; bit dim; maybe with learning difficulties; credulous; inclined to black & white thinking.

Tell people that they’re facing a genocide & some of them may believe you. Tell people that they’re targeted by Nazis & that the only good TERF is a dead TERF & some will act accordingly.

He may be a victim of the trans cult, but that doesn’t mean he can’t do considerable harm & put lives at risk.

if he doesn't have adult mental capacity, his carers should be held responsible for him in the same way they would be for a child.

Sole terrorists are still terrorists, and if Just Stop Oil can be tried for terrorism offences for going near an aircraft, then he can be tried for terrorism for... sending terrorist-threats

All this. You only have to go on Reddit to see how many mentally unstable people do believe this kind of hyperbolic genocide nonsense. They do genuinely think “terfs” want to kill them or put them in camps. Because they either have learning disabilities or they are mentally ill, or both.

I suspect many of the reddit bods posting about trans genocide know damn well it's nonsense, they just want to incite violence against women.

Well done on the police for arresting him. Hopefully if there's sufficient evidence he'll be charged and given the appropriate sentence and ultimately mental health support.

I suspect that if it turns out the man is actually trans-identifying, you would not be talking about "mental health support", and your view of his offence would change.

Absolutely but some are deranged enough to believe it.

lcakethereforeIam · 07/11/2026 19:40

That's why they post there.

And it succeeds.

Incidentally, a learning disability is not a mental health condition, and people with learning disabilities do not need mental health support or treatment.

I suspect there's a big correlation between those posters and the masked, black-clad fragile-ego'd men you see at women's rights events screaming at and intimidating women.

Or the Black Pampers as someone else once described them.

SidewaysOtter · 07/11/2026 20:12

That said idgf if the perpetrator is distraught or how angry or frustrated he is/was he made death threats and obviously intended to cause fear and alarm even if he didn't intend to follow through with his threats

I too do not give one shiny shit if he's distressed or whatever - it's no fucking defence as Mr Walliams An Unnamed Celebrity in his injunction bid is finding out.

And yes, I do note the clanging silence from certain quarters. I was expecting the usual "This didn't happen/It was a one-off/It's not that serious" but I guess even the most hardline scolder can't explain this away.
