This is obscene! Police have basically said "if you are trans join us and we will let you sexually assault women as a 'perk' of the job"! The police are out of control and need to be told they don't make the law!"
This decision was taken to make policing more attractive as a career to ‘transgender individuals’.
What about women?
No women’s groups were apparently consulted either at national or individual force level regarding this policy.

Why is this do difficult for so many to understand? Trans are not asserting their rights, they are taking away the fundamental building blocks by which biological reality is based on and asking us to pretend black is white to appease their own delusion. I live in the real world!
If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.
