My husband was all aww she's only trying to be nice. I think I triggered him by sending him the spectator article. Her gets twitchy at right wing commentators.

But I think I'm right to be worried. Against the backdrop of putting up stickers with the definition of women, being a crime.

Canada has a law now to make it illegal to call someone the pronouns of their sex, rather than their chosen gender.
There've been multiple Twitter bans for calling people by the pronouns of their sex. Especially in relation to the yavin case.

Glinner was cautioned for giving one of Hayden's (many ) old names. Was he cautioned for misgendering?

A lady (sorry can't remember her name);was told off by the police for saying a Male skeleton is still a Male, no matter how they identified when alive. Harry for sharing a limerick.

Maria got forced in court to refer to her attacker with female pronouns.

I feel uncomfortable with the police being involved at all. Isn't this all making things worse for people with actual gender dysphoria? The 100 gender crowd and stonewall? All these blue hair kiddies demanding that we lie?

Has anyone been cautioned for just misgendering though?

Lamahaha · 17/10/2019 07:37

Christ what will the French some when this lunacy spreads? Their entire language is based on gendering and therefore probably misgendering things and people!

And German, which actually has three genders, including neutral! It would be a nightmare. But I think the German people are far too straightforward and logical to buy into this pronoun madness.

The re[;ies are getting better and better, my favorite so far.

It is alleged that the offender shouted “Hand over your wallets or I’ll shank you and him”, at which point the Cheshire Pronoun Strike Force was deployed. The charge is use of a non-preferred pronoun. We are also investigating if the wallets’ feelings were hurt.

SimplyTheWorst · 17/10/2019 07:45

This is why Fair Cop has engaged in a Judicial Review. It is a breach of Human Rights to try to compel the speech of anyone Human Rights law sits above all other law. All law must comply with Human Rights.

So, the police will be acting wrongly if they ever attempted to arrest someone for what is laughingly labelled "misgendering". They could be sued for breach of articles 9 and 10 of the UK Human Rights Act 1998

www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/42/schedule/1.

Beyond that, any such behaviour by the police will eventually lead to others avoiding any kind of conversation with anyone who appears to "identify with" the "transgender umbrella", as defined by the outrageous organisation that is Stonewall, in order to avoid the possibility of any interaction with the police on the grounds of "hate incident", "hate crime", the ridiculous notion of "transphobia", etc.

It's hilaarious, but frightening at the same time.

As a child, we were taught "sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me".

And we learnt that words DO hurt. Especially if you are black and grow up in a world made for whites, and you feel how much you are disparaged through words and made to feel inferior -- it goes on and on and on, from childhood upwards.

But YOU GET OVER IT. You learn to deal with it. You learn to draw on inner resources of strength and resiliance. You learn that nasty things people say reflects on them rather than you; you retain your dignity and either have a calm response, or ignore it and move on. You learn that inferiority is a state of mind, and feeling it doesn't make it so. You grow up, use your hurt feelings as fuel for that growth.
That's how I became a (hopefully) mature adult.

People who are easily offended by words remain children mentally, crying at supposed insults, incapable of dealing with real life, which is often cruel and does not pamper or pander to your likes and dislikes.

Boo hoo.

RainbowsAndGlitterAndUnicorns · 17/10/2019 08:11

Hmmm peak transing yet again!

I hope TV dies right fills this lead.,,,,, can you imagine the next Line of Duty being pronoun focused...... though we have been wondering who "H" is! Perhaps the clue is in the pronoun

MidniteScribbler · 17/10/2019 09:10

Bloody hell, there's someone on twitter posted that they want to be known as he/they/she in rotation during a conversation. Bring on the meteor, we don't deserve this planet anymore.

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 17/10/2019 09:14

What would happen if there was mass civil disobedience, with people repeatedly ringing her force to report pronouns offences?

For example, from pay telephones on the street there are a few left so they couldn't be so easily tracked?

Just saying.........

Love the Michael Jackson comment. I'm using that if some dimwit ever tries to put that pronoun shite on me.

VickyEadieofThigh · 17/10/2019 10:39

somebody just misgendered my dog! call the police!

People used to misgender my dog (she died a few months ago) all the time, because (I suppose) she was a Staffy-Mastiff cross and looked as hard as fuck. Which, to be fair, she was - but it didn't make her male.

But it's illustrative of the fact that this whole kit and kaboodle is all centred around presentation.

emerencemaybehopeful · 17/10/2019 11:00

I have a black dog called pirate.

Apparently both her colour and name are signs of masculinity and she is regularly 'misgendered'. This despite being a 'feminine' breed (mini-poodle)

I can't decide if I should be angry and upset on her behalf or if it's possible that despite obvious intelligence she/canines might not have a gender identity. I mean, there are arguments about whether they have souls and it's the same thing, no?

Aspley · 17/10/2019 11:22

And all done in the name of LGBT
Fuxk off with this shit.
Stonewall, you are doing nothing but push people against LGBT people, I know you are looking for ways to justify your funding but creating a hostile atmosphere against LGBT people is so dangerously irresponsible. I won't have you ruin my life any more, most of us just want to live our lives.
I already encounter homophobia from lgbt people for my sexuality, you will turn the general population against us too with this shit, you utter pricks.
No one gives a flying fcuk about pronouns, you are doing nothing but bringing negative attention to lgbt with this utter bullshit - no one cares and they will only use this against us.

TalkingintheDark · 17/10/2019 11:22

I thought the police were there to uphold the law.

I’m so appalled by this I can’t even find it funny. Isn't it against the rules of policing to be a mouthpiece for political propaganda? Enforcing an ideology not an actual law?

The level of capture is horrifying.

TalkingintheDark · 17/10/2019 11:26

When I was a child I never understood why the crowds in The Emporer's New Clothes couldn’t see he was naked.

Yes, exactly this, sheshoots! We didn’t get it back then.

Oh how we’ve got it now.

magicstar1 · 17/10/2019 11:39

I shared a photo of Tom Hardy on FB a few days ago, and my husband posted that he's now identifying as Tom Hardy...and referred to himself as a "Transhardy" Grin.

Should I get the bail money ready?

StrangeLookingParasite · 17/10/2019 12:49

Christ what will the French some when this lunacy spreads? Their entire language is based on gendering and therefore probably misgendering things and people!

Not just French; nearly all European languages, if not all (I haven't done an exhaustive survey), as well as other non-European. It's more common to have gendered words than not, though.

nauticant · 17/10/2019 12:54

Stonewall, you are doing nothing but push people against LGBT people, I know you are looking for ways to justify your funding but creating a hostile atmosphere against LGBT people is so dangerously irresponsible.

If everyone became non-bothered about people's sexualties Stonewall's purpose would vanish. Stonewall exists to find areas of conflict to lobby over. I'm off now to make a hat out of kitchen foil.

MockersthefeMANist · 17/10/2019 12:57

The French are agonising at the moment over plurals, where a hundred women are elles, but a hundred women and one man are ils.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 17/10/2019 13:02

Well, we know Stonewall don't give a flying fuck about LGB people. Their sole purpose at the moment seems to be to get the rest of the world to bow to the T.

I already encounter homophobia from lgbt people for my sexuality
I've encountered homophobia direct from Stonewall for my sexuality. They've called the police on me twice for protesting in support of lesbian rights outside their conferences.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 17/10/2019 13:04

If everyone became non-bothered about people's sexualties Stonewall's purpose would vanish.

I'd never thought of it quite like that before but it makes all too much sense.

If Stonewall achieved whatever it is they're after with trans rights - the gay marriage equivalent - I wonder if they'd then try to switch back and get funding for digging us out of the shit they've dumped on us?
