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.

” a foetus with a female brain that grows male body parts and that’s what a transgender person is.”

Is there a discernible physical difference between male and female brains?

That poem shouts TRUTH in every line. What a brave man.

Britain has gone fascist. Buckingham Palace is but a gilded cage. Orwell could conceive of two way telescreens monitoring citizens in their homes. But with social media the thought police (that’s what they are) can monitor far more than microphones and television cameras.

Pres. Trump needs to tweet out a travel advisory warning Americans that Britain is now a nonfree country like Cuba or North Korea.

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.”

With the proper psychological techniques, a person can change his mental state and have more options and choices of behavior. The conceptual level of consciousness is volitional.

Only in the usage.

"I am Woman, Hear Me Roar Whine" was a ridiculous piece of nonsense, as is most feminism.

This bit is neither feminist, nor masculinist (if that's a word), nor any other kind of "ist". It's simply truth, told in not-too-terrible poetry.

This transgenderism is offensive to men who understand what manhood is, to women who understand what womanhood is, to men who like women, and to women who like men. Apparently, it's also offensive to lesbians ... not sure about fags.

Sounds like a poetic statement of truth.

If this is simply stating the truth, then why is there so much uproar over this?

There’s no profanity or insulting statements. It is simply stating the truth of so called transgender females.

Sure. Every brain cell in a male brain contains a "Y" chromosome. Every single cell.

Female brain cells do not have any "Y" chromosomes.

I've been saying this for awhile, but it needs to go further than just Britain. Australia and New Zealand have also become tyrannical.

It's just a different flavor of fags. Something I learned years ago when studying the issue is that Homosexuality is a spectrum disorder, and there are all sorts of variations in it.
