Norfolk Police Issues List of 37 Genders and Sexual Identities

by Toby Young
1 May 2022 9:00 AM

A guide listing 37 different gender terms and sexual identities has been issued to police officers and staff to help them when dealing with members of the public. MailOnline has more.

Norfolk Constabulary’s document, ‘The + in LGBT’, explains current terminology alongside a picture of a ‘gender bread person’ – a play on gingerbread man.

Critics called it a “complete waste of taxpayers’ money” last night.

The guide, on the force’s internal computer system, was obtained by the Mail on Sunday using a freedom of information request.

Some of the terms relating to sexuality, such as ‘questioning’ or ‘asexual’, are self evident, but others will be new to most, such as gynosexual (someone who is attracted to feminine gender presentation) and grey asexual (a person who “experiences attraction rarely”).

Another lesser-known term is ‘varioriented’, which is described as “when your sexual and romantic orientations do not target the same set of genders”.

Similarly, a range of gender terms is also listed.

It includes words used in everyday language, such as binary, but also less common terms such as ‘neutrois’, which is when someone “identifies as agender, neither male nor female, and/or genderless”, and ‘maverique’, which is used to explain a “non-binary gender that exists outside of the orthodox social bounds of gender”.

Force staff who are confused by any of the definitions are directed to the ‘gender bread person’ diagram, which includes a series of sliding scales that relate to gender identity, sexual orientation, gender expression and biological sex.

Norfolk Police declined to say whether it had produced the guide itself or had obtained it from another organisation.

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: The College of Policing has ordered police forces in England and Wales to “decolonise” their training materials in order to recruit officers from more diverse backgrounds. The guidance also encourages police forces to become Stonewall Champions. MailOnline has more.
