Thankfully this child has been found safe and well now but if you were local to the area and read this appeal would you have been keeping your eyes out for a male or female child?

Call 999 if you see this missing schoolgirl
She was last seen wearing her school uniform

Merseyside Police is appealing for the public's help in finding a teenager who vanished on Monday morning. Schoolgirl Emi Glover-Wade, 15, was last seen on Monday (January 2) morning and police say extensive enquiries are ongoing to find her.

Emi, from St Helens, was last seen wearing a school uniform, including a black blazer and grey jumper. She was also wearing a Linkin Park T-shirt, dark trousers and black Converse trainers with rainbow laces, police said.

The force described her as being around 5ft 3in tall, a slim build, with shoulder length hair and wears glasses for reading. Emi is understood to have links to Glasgow and Inverness.

If you see Emi call 999 immediately so police can make sure she’s safe and well.

Female but from your title I'm guessing he's a male

Didn’t the parents originally have an appeal which said “help us find our son” named Kieran as they didn’t know their child was identifying as female at school etc. So the appeal was changed once they were made aware, to only use the female descriptors.

Seeing their photo, if I was working in a shop and served that child then I’d definitely think I had served a male teenager. If I then read that appeal, I wouldn’t call in to say I’d seen them as it gives no indicated that the person was a male teenager.

Yes, the parents referred to 'our son'.

This kind of madness is a pedophiles heaven. A 15 year old teenage boy with long hair looks like a teenage boy with long hair, not a girl. Same for makeup.

No one would be looking at a boy in uniform and thinking they were the missing child.

I'd be looking for a child who matched that description.

You wouldn’t discount an obvious male, haven’t been told that a girl was missing?
Yeah, sure.

“School uniform, converse, colourful laces” describes at least half the kids in Glasgow, where I am. I’d be looking for a teenage girl with shoulder length hair and glasses and English accent. I would absolutely not call in to report that I had seen a teenage boy with shoulder length hair and glasses and English accent.

We had something like that happen locally. People being told to look out for a boy in school uniform. But the uniform was from the girls school. The picture of an obviously teenage girl with short hair. Lots of confused comments, lots of people calling the confused people bigots.

I hate these things - it's not the first time it has happened. Which is more important; to affirm this person's pronouns online, or to find them? I tend to think the second, a scary amount of ppl seem to think the first.

From the description - girl.
From being on this board - boy.

But my biggest wtaf is the parents not knowing he was pretending to be a girl but the school did? Is that really true?

Has happened before on a few occasions near me where locals were struggling to know whether they were looking for a boy or a girl which caused numerous debates in the Police Scotland threads on social media. Thankfully this kid missing from the Liverpool area was found and is home.

Well, that’s exactly how this ideology works. They’d rather a child remain missing than ‘misgender’. They’d rather women be put at risk. They’d rather humiliate women by them having to undress in front of males. They’d rather people be put at risk by their health professionals not knowing a patient’s sex. They’d rather girls and women not be able to win at their own sports.

Everything, everything is worth it for for their obsession with pronouns and misgendering.

The police (or whoever gave them this false description) should be ashamed of themselves for putting this child’s life at risk.

Given that schools are on record as "socially transitioning" pupils without telling their parents, yes, it probably is.

Of course I would be looking for a girl based on that description. It wouldn’t occur to me to question that.

Good to hear.

No one would be looking at a boy in uniform and thinking they were the missing child.

This. And quite clearly from his photo he doesn't look even remotely female.

Exactly, and the description uses female pronouns, therefore everyone is automatically ruling out 50% of the population - the half they're actually supposed to be looking for. If they used the correct pronouns, people would be looking at the correct 50% and automatically ruling out others.

Yet another example of how gender ideology increases danger with complete disregard for those who it impacts the most. We're talking about a missing child for goodness sake. If that child had been abducted, do you really think he would have cared if anyone "misgendered" him if it led to his safe rescue? Jeez.

Was the description changed with the parents' consent? I'd be livid if I were them. Surely wanting a missing child safely located is something that people can agree on? I can't vouch for men but I'd lay a bet that almost every woman will read the poor kid as male with barely a glance.

It's really common for missing person posters to include other names the person is known as. Why couldn't they just do that?

Edit to add : Or was it a performative act of affirmation to lure the kid home from a known location? I could understand why a parent might need to do that.

This is pretty obviously a boy, and no one would recognise them as a girl from the description.

Good for you

Transgender Reddit are all over it. The awful transphobic parents, deadnaming their daughter, now found and being returned to said transphobic parents. 🙄

Clearly the description didn't hamper the child being found, so it's difficult to understand the point of your thread - unless you are simply taking the chance for promoting an anti-trans agenda.

Unless of course the child was found through known contacts.

Not spotted by a member of the public.

It's why pictures are so useful these days as descriptions are so useless.

I suppose it I was very switched on rainbow laces and the name Emi- may have made me wonder a bit more but probably not most days.
