This. And I hope the guidelines are going to be clear on this matter. Stop telling men it’s ok for them to use women’s spaces. It isn’t. They are violating women’s boundaries. Their presence in our female only spaces is sexual harassment in and of itself. Good men stay out so bad men stand out.

Telling a professional writer that they have a ‘sedentary, glued to a screen lifestyle’ is … yeah. Impressive.

But what else do you expect from people who think comedians shouldn’t joke around?

Yes. Men can't use women's changing rooms, loos, dv shelters, or any women's spaces. Men can't use women's presence for their own 'validation'. Men can't insist on being allowed access to women in a state of undress. Men stay out of women's spaces, even if they have grown their hair, or had plastic surgery, or taken hormones.

Men use men's spaces, even if it makes them sad.

Guns might be normal. But five officers? Really?

You are registered with the ICO and following all principles of the Data Protection Act since you are admitting to storing people's personal details on your computer, right? Since this isn't a xmas card list I doubt this counts as personal use which would be an exception to the data protection act.

You are asking the public for a pornographic oral sex image of a trans woman. First I hope this image isn't a private one (there are laws on posting revenge porn) and secondly how exactly is this "evidence"? Evidence of what?

Chakrabarti once made a remark that alluded to the famous “die in a fire” trans activist threat to women as a veiled threat. She’s such a cool girl!

Sadly, she's a complete fool.

You sound quite fixated on him.

Let’s clear this up shall we. The image being referred to is one the man in question, “Freda” Wallace, is alleged to have deliberately posted of himself to sexually harass women on Twitter, notably a severely disabled woman campaigning for female only intimate care.

'cyberflashing' .

'Those who send or provide unwanted images or films of genitals, will face prosecution and could find themselves on the sex offenders register, fined and or imprisoned for up to two years.
Using the new CPS guidance published today, prosecutors will make charging decisions based on whether offenders intended for a victim of cyberflashing to be alarmed, distressed, or humiliated, or whether they as a culprit hoped to receive sexual gratification regardless of whether or not the recipient was alarmed, distressed, or humiliated.
Siobhan Blake, from the CPS, said: “Women and girls should be able to go about their lives and daily commutes without being subjected to and bombarded with unwanted sexual images. Our prosecutors are ready and committed to tackling this unacceptable behaviour.
“We would encourage anyone who has been subjected to the illegal act of cyberflashing to come forward and report it. This is a serious crime, and we will work with police to build strong cases against offenders who use technology to harass, distress and abuse victims for their own pleasure.'

It is staggering that anyone deduces this from the trans debate.

How are they oppressed? Dress as you like but you cannot change sex. I've no idea why this still needs saying.

Yes I think Chris has a crush and who can blame him.

Here he is talking about it himself. Note how unbothered he is either about the photo being in circulation publicly or its effect on women

Do the police need notified he may have illegal content on his computer or content he uses to stalk and harass trans people

what illegal content?

i think the police need notifying about your computer

Many thousands of people not only take the Greens seriously but believe, not unreasonably, that their policies are increasingly vital in our corrupt society.

Do they have any policies that concern the environment and are based on actual science? Do they remember that they started out as a party that was supposedly trying to protect the environment.

they're always projecting. Images of very young children in a manga style are staples of trans activism.

Still 5 cops with guns though. And no rationale as to why he had to be arrested right at that moment, in that location, with the 5 cops with guns, rather than elsewhere (or at all).

Webberley is an attention seeker. She’s deliberately goading that she can get away with it. Expect more of this from TRAs. They are gloating.

😳😡

Exactly send 1 pc. The gun bit I suppose is understandable to a point as at an airport but even so don't they liaise with normal plods and couldn't a regular PC have done the ridiculous arresting?

Don't worry; I'm not in the least offended by you, or by anyone else who attempts to attack me. Honestly, I find such people fascinating and ridiculous in equal measure.

For clarity, I am in no way a subscriber to the ideology of GC. Neither am I a TRA.
If that non-binary stance is confusing, then I shall make it abundantly clear to you, and to anyone else foolish enough to cross me; my political stance is defined by rationalism, common sense, and a desire for measured behaviour.
I roundly criticise the absurdly disproportionate police response in cases like this in the same way I roundly criticise the disproportionate reactions of many adherents to GC when they needlessly attack the trans community.

If I sometimes come across as combative toward idiots, and give them short shrift, that's because as a menopausal mama bear in her 50s I've very little time or patience for imbecility. You don't have to like that, you don't even have to understand it, but I do expect you to spend a few minutes reflecting on it.

Hope this helps clarify things for you.

@MrsSlatersParrot you lost me at menopausal mama bear.

I didn’t even get that far. It’s too early for word salad.

He’ll be arrested if he posts anywhere else so…

Hi

Having seen police at an aircraft side at Heathrow to, err, greet people, a handful of times weapons would be absolutely normal and it's not unusual for there to be more than a couple in the team.

Anyone ordering the arrest to be done at that location would have known that...

To me the really big query about the arrest is not weapons or number of officers, it is who made the decision it should be done at the aircraft door and why?

They might have had legit reasons but at a first glance it does look as if someone was trying to make a point/make an example of a highish profile individual.

All very sinister.
