It isn't about a single police officer.
The understanding of what a hate crime is has gone very awry within the transgender community. Vulnerable people within the community have been misled/ manipulated (?) by both individual TRAs as well as influential organisations.
There are very serious issue with trans-rights activist trainers and the information they are giving public sector especially.
example:
Now retired Police Sergeant Gina Denham ( M2F) has been influential both within her local area of Essex & the police:
March 2018 Transgender Trend article:
Who Is Making Policy For Schools?
"The image above shows a presentation from a local Southend trans support group called Transpire, founded by a 54 year-old transsexual male called Gina Denham who teaches children that we all have a ‘gender identity’ which exists in the womb and is independent of both our socialisation and our biological sex. It is this ‘gender identity’ which makes us a boy or a girl and actually being male or female is irrelevant.
Transpire recently forced a school to change its policies in service of this ideology. Under the guise of ‘inclusion’ and ‘integration’ Gina Denham led an aggressive campaign to force a school in Rochford to remove sex-based rights and protections for its female students.
The trans pupil in question has been known by the Transpire group for two years so has presumably been thoroughly conditioned into the belief that he is literally female. As with Lily Madigan at his school in Kent, this one pupil has been afforded the power to change policy affecting all other pupils at the school with the help of a powerful transgender lobby.
The Transpire campaign began on Facebook:
The campaign continued on Twitter where King Edmund School Head Jonathan Osborn was bombarded with tweets of complaint, using the hashtag #BeInclusiveNotAbusive.
The pressure was increased by letting a few other people know about the ‘discrimination’ going on at King Edmund school, including the local BBC station, Stonewall, the DfE, Ofsted, Pink News and the local District Council
Adding LGBT Pride groups and the Prime Minister (continues)
The whole campaign, from start to finish, took 6 days. No time to conduct a proper impact assessment on pupils protected under the protected characteristic ‘sex’ as the school is legally obliged to do before changing policy. How is this not in breach of Equality law? The pupil involved is legally male, not female, and single-sex provisions are lawful under the Equality Act, for reasons of privacy. The example of school facilities used in the Equality and Human Rights Commission Technical Guidance (3.20) does not state that a pupil protected under ‘gender reassignment’ as transsexual should be allowed to use the facilities of the opposite sex:
The way in which school facilities are provided can lead to discrimination. Example: A school fails to provide appropriate changing facilities for a transsexual pupil and insists that the pupil uses the boys’ changing room even though she is now living as a girl. This could be indirect gender reassignment discrimination unless it can be objectively justified. A suitable alternative might be to allow the pupil to use private changing facilities, such as the staff changing room or another suitable space.
King Edmund School is praised for showing “flexibility and openness to change” whereas in fact they were coerced by a campaign designed to intimidate and shame them for their ‘abusive’ policy of ‘discrimination’ and ‘segregation’, clearly risking damage to the school’s reputation. One tweeter even likened it to ‘apartheid.’
Although the final tweet proclaims ‘Everyone wins!’ Denham freely admits in this BBC report that the victory is only for the transgender student and everyone else’s needs and rights are unimportant:
“It’s about giving people the opportunity to use the toilet they are comfortable with, not what the school is comfortable with.”
So who is Gina Denham and what gives this individual so much power that a school changes its whole policy to cater to the demands of just one pupil?
The schools presentation shown at the start of this post is part of Denham’s Transitioning for Beginners project which sells to children the idea that ‘changing your gender’ can be “fun but daunting!” (continues)
There are varying and complex reasons why different people want to transition to the opposite sex, with or without gender dysphoria; the term ‘transgender’ covers them all. Denham is a late-transitioning heterosexual male who followed a ‘macho’ career as a police sergeant, cross-dressed in private, is married and has fathered [her] own children, a profile most commonly associated with autogynephilia.
Denham’s online videos reveal [her] sense of absolute entitlement to the word ‘woman,’ a confidence no doubt built through a successful career as a male in a male-dominated profession. Having fathered [her] own children he has no qualms about advocating to children a model of understanding themselves which may well leave them infertile.
As the non-scientific claim of ‘innate gender identity’ becomes enshrined culturally and politically, schools seeking guidance may be inadvertently bringing in speakers who are the least qualified to help children and adolescents, but are given legitimacy by the umbrella term ‘transgender.’
Denham can have no idea of what it is actually like to be a teenage girl and no understanding of the factors which may encourage them to want to ‘transition.’ Nor can [she] have much sympathy for ‘pre-gay’ children who are the ones most likely to have a cross-sex identity in childhood, an identity they are overwhelmingly likely to grow out of if there were no adults around reinforcing it daily.
[S]He clearly has no compassion for girls, nor any understanding of the embarrassment and threat they may feel from being forced to share facilities with biologically male classmates. Given [her] experience as a police sergeant it is surprising that [she] has no compunction in advocating the blurring of boundaries between the sexes and no recognition of the protection and safeguarding issues this raises for girls.
