Man investigated by police for retweeting transgender limerick
The Telegraph ^ | January 24, 2019 | Camilla Tominey and Joani Walsh

A docker from Humberside has been investigated by police over a limerick he posted on Twitter after an officer claimed it constitutes a ‘hate incident’ against transgender people.

Harry Miller, 53, from Lincoln was contacted on Wednesday by a community cohesion officer following a complaint that had been made about the plant and machinery dealer’s social media posts.

Citing 30 potentially offensive tweets, the PC singled out a limerick Mr Miller had retweeted which questioned whether transgender women are biological women. It included the lines: "Your breasts are made of silicone, your vagina goes nowhere."

Even though no crime was committed, sharing the limerick online was recorded as a ‘hate incident’.

PC Mansoor Gul told Mr Miller: “I’ve been on a course and what you need to understand is that you can have a foetus with a female brain that grows male body parts and that’s what a transgender person is.”

After Mr Miller questioned why the complainant was being described as a “victim” if no crime had been committed, the officer told him: “We need to check your thinking”.

“I can’t believe what is happening in the UK in the name of transgenderism and, worse still, we’re not even allowed to think never mind talk about it,” Mr Miller said.

The married father of four was alerted to the investigation by his company directors after they were approached by officers trying to make contact with Mr Miller.

The complainant had managed to identify Mr Miller’s place of work, despite there being no reference to his business or his full identity on his Twitter account. As part of the complaint to police it was alleged the firm was an ‘unsafe environment’ for transgender employees because of Mr Miller’s comments on social media.

“community cohesion officer”

Wow, that almost sounds like the “morality officers” in Saudi Arabia.

“the officer told him: “We need to check your thinking”.

Where is that “Looks like you’ve had too much to think” meme?

There are times where shooting the “authorities” is the correct course of action.

Here it is. It’s not a limerick.

You’re a man. Your breasts are made of silicone
Your vagina goes nowhere
And we can tell the difference
Even when you are not there
Your hormones are synthetic
And lets just cross this bridge
What you have you stupid man
Is male privilege.

You’re a man, you’re a man
We can say it, yes we can
That you’ll never be a woman
Even if that is your plan
Every cell is coded male
From your birth until the grave
You are simply a man
Neither stunning nor brave

Your penis isn’t womanly
Your wig is poorly made
Your idea of womanhood
Just doesn’t make the grade
You think we are just caricatures
Or porn tropes for your use
You pretend that you can be us
But it’s merely more abuse

You’re a man, you’re a man
We can say it, yes we can
That you’ll never be a woman
Even if that is your plan
Every cell is coded male
From your birth until the grave
You are simply a man
Neither stunning nor brave

Your great big hands and manly head
Are difficult to hide
A hand in front of Adam’s fruit
Proof does not provide
That you have changed your actual sex
Because your brain is pink
It’s laughable to those of us
Who can actually think

You’re a man, you’re a man
We can say it, yes we can
That you’ll never be a woman
Even if that is your plan
Every cell is coded male
From your birth until the grave
You are simply a man
Neither stunning nor brave

England needs another Churchill to stand up, and fast.... they are at the very end of the precipice, and are about to be removed from the age of Freedom that they helped institute with the Magna Carta and their Common Law system that they exported to all of their colonies.

It took over 450 years for our Founders to upgrade the Magna Carta to the Constitution, and nothing says that another upgrade is coming anytime soon. If England and the US both fall to the insanity of Political Correctness, and allow the Left and the Islamic hordes to erase our histories, it could easily be another 450 years (or many more) before Freedom makes any sort of a comeback. The planet will suffer greatly for it.

I always wondered how the Dark Ages could see a significant decline in knowledge, art, science, culture, etc... I do not have to wonder anymore.

Certainly not a limerick. Are millennial reported in the UK as bad and ignorant as they are here? Or is this a case of dirrerent UK / American usage?
