I honestly don't get this.
As in, she's wearing make up and nail varnish.
So bloody what?!
It can't be put down to anything like '' valid concerns, taking over toilets!''
I sometimes think anyone who is trans can't win (that's a saying in the UK, it doesn't mean trying to win an end game or anything!)
Don't wear make up.
'' You look too much like a bloke!!''
'' At least makes an effort -
Stop appropriating womanhood! Who says you can wear makeup or nail varnish?!
At least make it consistent.
Or should it be that people shouldn't be trans at all?
Genuinely (honestly) curious
Because it's nothing to do with being trans and everything to do with being a visual representation of the Police. The Police force having rules and applying the rules without fear or favours should be standard operating procedure.
It may be that there is a toilet and changing room issue in some of the stations, there is if some males are being allowed to use female areas. This Police force has indicated that rules don't apply to some male officers. If there is a problem can a female officer have confidence that her concerns about the service provision for her and her fellow female officer will be acknowledged or will she be told that it's "fine" to have a male use the female service areas?
If a male officer has a dress code and a female officer has a dress code these are the basic PR checks that a publicity photo shoot should adhere to. In this case neither dress code was applied.
So who should care if the Senior Officers in a Police force decide that the rule book is an optional extra when it comes to achieving the optimum positive publicity?
Who should decide which rule books should be applied or when they should be applied?
Who should decide which individuals get to operate out side the rules?
Is that how the Police should operate?
The Police Officer in charge of PR who first responded on Twitter said that they would remove offending tweets. This is not possible on Twitter. So the PR tweeter is less than competent with the PR role.
The next tweet was a statement of intent to report tweets the Police PR account dislikes to parties unspecified in the tweet.
If the PR person was properly informed on the recent Court case etc then their PR rule book would not have enabled that PR sequence to develop.
The two tweets sets out the "official position" of tone policing by a arm of the State who have the power to obtain a UK tweeters details, turn up at their house, and threaten to arrest or actually arrest the individual.
