A police force has deleted a social media post encouraging trans people to report 'deadnaming' as a 'hate crime' after an intervention from the Home Secretary.
Leicestershire Police took to Twitter to encourage people who are transgender to report when a person deliberately refers to someone by their pre-transition name.
The force used a 'stock image' of a trans woman with 'fictitious' quotes which were made up by an 'experienced' officer.
But the post, which was widely shared on social media, sparked a backlash from Home Secretary Suella Braverman.

I just read the article. The article was in ‘English’.
But I’m still not sure what I read. For every statement made, there seemed to be another statement saying the exact opposite. Oh well.
If “Jane” walks around in public looking like that picture, then “Jane” is the problem. People are’nt going to keep on playing Make Believe, like it or not.
That looks like Dick Butkis wearing a Zsa Zsa Gabor nylon wig
Thank God the pathetic Boris Johnson is gone.
I wonder what “Jane” does? Does this person go into the pub they’ve drunk at for years and people address them by the male name they went by for most of their life?
“My Name Is SUE,
How Do Yo DO?!!”
Yes. At bottom, saying something that hurt some person’s feelings (and not just the person the words were directed at) is still a crime in King Charles III realm.
And, as UK lesbians recently found out, it’s not just words. Their very presence was considered hateful to Trannies and the police preemptively excluded them from a public event for LGBT. Even threaten them with arrest if they didn’t leave.
BTW, this is the same line of reasoning that is used by radical protesters in colleges in the US. Speech that contradicts their established viewpoint is deemed violence and must be excluded as a threat to their community. Thankfully, we still have the First Amendment… for the moment anyway. But the lefties don’t like that either and want to do away with it.
I’ve given up. Everyone will be called Citizen by me from now on.
No more he or she or him or her. Just Citizen.
Isn’t that what the PTB want after all?
Or maybe I should just say, Comrade?
Except people have been prosecuted in the UK for speech alone, with no underlying crime involved. So they do not actually have laws “just like the USA” in this regard.
Two words: Leah Croucher.
Unfortunately, the UK’s Deep State is still in charge.
Nope.
They just suffered a defeat in this and other cases.
Not sure but bump for l8r.
