One Victoria Police source told the Herald Sun it would be a travesty if anyone was lying about their gender status for extra money and questioned whether it could be a criminal offence.
“It goes to their integrity,” the source told the newspaper. “For VicPol, this would be terrible and its taxpayers’ money, this is offensive to genuine non-binary employees.”
How could it possibly be a criminal offence?
The whole point of gender identity is that it's an inner sense and unfalsifiable by its very nature, so if you believe in gender ideology, you cannot also believe that there would be any way to disprove someone's assertion that their gender identity is different from what they say it is.
What's utterly bizarre about this is that people seem genuinely surprised that having a policy where men and women are treated differently is undermined by letting people choose whether they want to be treated as men or women.
