Police send 344 officers on sex-change training

Humberside Police has been criticised for taking officers off frontline duties in a crime-ridden neighbourhood to send them on sex-change training The move is in response to one of their colleagues undergoing treatment to change from a 42-year-old married man into a woman called Lauren.

But senior officers have said it constitutes "political correctness gone mad" to have staff on anti-discrimination training when they could be out on the beat.

A total of 510 staff - including 344 police officers - working for Humberside Police in North East Lincolnshire received a letter from the chief superintendent saying they had to attend the half-day training course to help PC Lauren's transition.

The training is likely to cost thousands of pounds but could help to protect the force from a potentially embarrassing lawsuit if PC Lauren were to experience discrimination.

Kevin Sharp explained in his letter that she suffered from gender identity dysphoria, which left her feeling like a woman trapped in a man's body.

"As from today, Lauren starts her new life and over the next few weeks you will receive awareness training during which you will be able to read a personal letter from Lauren," he said.

Aren’t these people getting tax payers money to perform a duty? Then what are they doing promoting a liberal political agenda? I would like to know since when has government gotten into the business of promoting perversion in the name of equality? Forget it, what am I talking about, the socialists have succeeded in corrupting our country. It’s an outrage!!!! It just goes to show you how much decency has lost out in the name of political correctness. I just can’t stand the way the socialists are going out of their way to degrade normal men. Damn it, can’t they just leave it alone? The guy is a freak. No one should be forced to pretend he isn’t. No one should be forced to go to a brainwashing class either!

The 334 other officers best get used to such things. Officer Lauren is now an officially protected class. S/he can never be passed over for a promotion, given an average pay increase, terminated, suspended, disciplined, or even questioned without fear of a lawsuit.

“As Lauren was being pampered, petted, getting attention that “she” deserved and being hailed as a stupendous example of shemale beauty, 20 acts of burglary, 10 cases of heroin overdose and 2 cases of assault occurred in Humberside all due to the fact that there were no police available for crime prevention.”

This is tyranny, plain and simple. And it’s on it’s way to America.

You see, faceless beaurocrats or “panels” and commisioners make these decisions out of FEAR, and they are usually sheilded by the system in some way. The media are always compliant and don’t ask where the buck stops.

It almost always takes courage to stop tyranny in it’s tracks, and that is in short supply in the UK.

When I think of all we’ve learned from the Brits and how many of our high standards were based on their high standards, I cant help but wonder how close and far we’ll follow them into lib hell.
