Feminist teacher wins battle to overturn police 'hate incident' recorded against her because of 'transphobia' on social media

[IwantToRetire]

'I made a comment on Twitter calling out the new Pride flag, saying that I didn't particularly like the trans colours being added because I felt the original was fine as it already represented trans people.'

The officers gave her words of advice, but it was only later she discovered that the non-crime hate incident had been placed on her record after she asked Norfolk Police for more information about her case.

The phrase is defined by the College of Policing's current guidance as 'any non-crime incident which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice'.

Ms Kirby said she feared it would impact background checks for her career teaching English to school pupils online, despite it not being a criminal record.

She said the reference was only removed from her record last October after a long battle involving legal experts and a cybercrime charity.

Such good news. I feel exactly the same about the "progress" flag. It is quite the opposite!

I hate the progress flag. It is definitely does not represent progress

This is good news!

The police are loving this , don't you think?

They resent being called out for racism , sexism and homophobia. So it's a racing certainty they don't believe Twaw. Or Tmam.

But now they get to harass women - and men who support them , using 'woke ' laws they despise. How delicious.

I would like to think that this will make more police think, and according to reports what the Tories want, that they wont waste time on "hurt feelings".

But shocking what she had to go through to get this sorted out.

And wasn't it only last week that a court ruled that someone who claimed his faith meant he couldn't use the wrong pronouns was told he did have that right?
