A TRA tried to complain about Surrey's PCC Lisa Townsend:

"Thread TW: Transphobia

A couple of months ago, the Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend made yet another transphobic tweet that rolled into a harrassment campaign that was taking place against Emily Bridge at the time.

I reported this tweet to the office of the PCC, which is not the first complaint I have made about her transphobic statements. I was apparently one of 6 complainants on this particular
comment.

We've just received the response (it was delayed by some internal processes and they considered multiple different complaints about her transphobia at the same sitting).

The response clarifies the PCC code of conduct that they consider.

Because they are repeatedly telling themselves and each other that Maya lost

Thats the problem with echo chambers and false representation of information. You can spin a story any way you like on Twitter, but that's not the legal position

At some stage, people will need to starting dealing with facts

Why do they think Maya lost?

Those who choose to live in their self constructed pseudo realities and who believe that everyone else must be made to live there too in order to bolster their fragile identities are by definition strangers to the truth.

Why do they think Maya lost?

Because they live in a parallel universe where 2+2=5 and sex is a spectrum.

All those £25s we all paid into Maya's Crowdfunder have paid off, haven't they?

And yet the self-belief if their level of understanding, reinforced by their high status occupations, leaves me genuinely fearful of what would happen if these people ever had the gift of abuse of 'snitching' apps like this.

Look at what 'Dr Alix' and 5 other (plausibly similar) people managed to do with a straightforward complaint. They wasted the time of how many other people and put Lisa through stress all based on their flagrant misunderstanding of material reality and legal precedents that they affect to understand.

Give those people a 'snitching app' and organisations would grind to a halt faster than if they had been infiltrated by 5th columnists or operatives following the Simple Sabotage Field Manual, by Office of Strategic Services (precursor of CIA, iirc).

At some point someone is going to go on a campaign of constantly reporting tweets or public statements for being transphobic, then they are going to reported for harassment and are going to be found guilty and heads will completely implode.

All because they don't want to understand what the law actually is, despite being told it over and over again.

What is interesting is how Nancy Kelley never explicitly says someone is transphobic despite always tweeting shit like this. Because Nancy Kelley knows its legally dodgy ground to do so and it could backfire spectacularly. Instead Kelley puts couched responses like that to keep her followers on the hook of Stonewall's bullshit. Its like a dealer occasionally giving out 'freebies' to ensure they always have a steady supply of income. Its an act of cynicism at its absolute worst.

Kelley absolutely knows the score here. I simply don't buy into the idea that she doesn't.
