A 17 year old is socially transitioning themselves.

Nobody socially transitions themselves. It is impossible.

Her "tr--n" tweets and similar have been seen by police and recorded under investigation, which is ongoing.

“Give me a child until seven and I will show you the man” is a saying variously attributed to Aristotle and St Ignatius Loyola, and is generally considered to have some truth. This is why I think socially transitioning very young children is active abuse.
Lying to and emotionally manipulating older children is surely abusive, and confirming them in unfounded and impossible beliefs is borderline abusive. Of course they will probably present as they wish, but their beliefs shouldn’t be confirmed, just as you would not confirm the irrational belief of an anorexic child (there are very strong parallels between this and gender confusion/sex rejection in young women).
Apologies for the continuing derail.

I'm reporting this entire section of Mumsnet to the boss to ask for it to be changed to reflect its actual content

Perhaps this police constable acted on his own initiative and didn’t clear his actions with higher ups 🤔 which, if he did, was foolish because any hint of potential police interference with elections is not a good look. Particularly given the multiple negative news stories in recent years about police forces and their behaviour towards women.

If this policeman exceeded his remit on this issue I would expect some sort of public apology is owed to POW.

No, the police officers actions are under investigation.

I'm not a sensitive person generally but that link needed a warning!

I don't know about that, but I can confirm her tweets are.

All that means is someone reported them. I could report your posts and then you'd be under police investigation

All this means is Christinapple reported it. It seems they are quite comfortable with the undermining of democracy

I can confirm all kinds of things on the internet.

Your view on my credibility might vary.

Christinapple is Cuthbert Cringeworthy

"If anyone misbehaves behind Teacher’s back, he can always count on me to inform him immediately".

All this cringeworthy telling teacher on people does is make people utterly despise the people that do this.

It does nothing for what people call 'true trans' people.

So keep on keeping on, if that's what you want.

#OperationLetThemSpeak

In your post that I replied to, you said:
I think its ridiculously arrogant to label parents like David Tennant, Emma Bunton etc as "abusers" because you've decided you know best about their family circumstances.

I believe Tennant's child is 9, which is in the age group referred to by Transgender Trend. So I think it's fair to comment on the likely outcome for his child brought about by social transition at that age.

Do you agree that transitioning pre-pubescent children is abuse?

What?
So you think even adults don't choose to transition, other people do it for them?

Sorry. Thats what I think of when I think of "profound abuse"
Or Victoria Climbie. Or Baby P. Or Daniel Pelka. Or various other children who have been chronically neglected and murdered by people who should have loved them.

I don't like the term "abuse" and especially not "profound abuse" because that implies an active choice on the part of the parents.

I think transition can be damaging; equally I think there is not enough research to know if social transition is an appropriate treatment for some children.

I think parents with gender distressed children must be having a very hard time and I'd prefer not to throw around terms like "abuse" when I know nothing about them or their circumstances.

Now I'm going to ask you a question. Do you think Angelina Jolie abused Shiloh by letting her live as "John" as a child?

You may be manipulating what "democracy" means here. It doesn't extend to running to twitter and throwing around abuse and hateful slurs because one was told off by a cop for something.

"#OperationLetThemSpeak"

What does this even mean anyway? If we're using "POW" as an example it just appears to means "let gender critical people talk shit about trans people". Right?

Some may also seem rather dismissive when transphobic hate and slurs are used. If a political candidate went online and used, for a hypothetical example, a homophobic slur or the N slur against black people, almost everyone would be in agreement they should not be a political candidate and should be investigated by police.

I haven't seen the leaflets so haven't taken part in that discussion. Did they have the slur "tr--n" or something like that on them? Did they use the word "tranny"? Was there a hint or implication on there that trans people are "only trans for perverse/sexual reasons"? I see the sort of things some people with gender critical beliefs sometimes say and some of it can come across a certain way and be seen as offensive.

I can't imagine how people who are actually trans or have trans family or friends may feel when this crap goes through their letterbox.

Any concern for women when misogyny is posted through their letterbox from those pushing genderism? What about migrants when they get a Reform leaflet?

If you were really interested then you'd look at the leaflet as it's linked to in the OP. There is no mention of tranny or troon on it so no need for the smelling salts

@Christinapple Images of the leaflet were posted very early in this thread.

You may be manipulating what "democracy" means here. It doesn't extend to running to twitter and throwing around abuse and hateful slurs because one was told off by a cop for something.

It absolutely does.

Free speech is the cornerstone of democracy
