Civil Servants Can Use Male or Female Security Passes and Can Change Gender Daily

by Richard Eldred
27 August 2023 5:00 PM

The Home Office’s policy of issuing dual security passes to nonbinary staff for flexible gender identity presentation has critics arguing it poses security risks and unnecessarily promotes gender ideology. The Telegraph has the story.

Nonbinary staff in the Home Office are given male and female security passes allowing them to change their gender identity day by day.

According to the Home Office’s gender reassignment and gender identity policy, nonbinary officials can “present in the gender which matches their identity on a given day”.

The guidance, issued in 2010, updated in 2021, and described as “current policy”, continues: “This includes practical considerations such as access to premises.

“The department has introduced dual passes for staff that wish to attend work as more than one gender.”

Miriam Cates, the Conservative MP, told the Telegraph the nonbinary pass policy poses “serious security and safeguarding risks”.

She said: “A policy that enables someone working in what should be a secure environment to have a different identity on different days of the week is clearly open to abuse and is unworkable.

“The obsession of some senior civil servants with pushing gender ideology in the workplace is very concerning.”

Helen Joyce, the Director of Advocacy at the gender-critical group Sex Matters, said: “These ‘diversity champion’ roles are clearly being used to push contested beliefs about ‘gender identity’ as something distinct from a person’s sex.

“That’s got no basis in either U.K. law or biological reality.

“When civil servants promote this by writing policies that embed gender ideology with concepts like ‘nonbinary identities’, or that promote the use of ‘preferred pronouns’ and suggest it’s bigoted to use phrases like ‘man up’, they’re failing in their statutory duty to be politically neutral and impartial.

“This isn’t just a waste of time and taxpayers’ money; it’s discriminatory towards the majority of perfectly sensible civil servants who don’t believe in this nonsense and just want to do their job.

“The Home Secretary needs to get a grip and tear these policies up.”

The gender reassignment policy promises for transitioning staff “a gender identity liaison officer (GILO) who will act as coordinator throughout an individual’s gender reassignment”.

In March this year, Steve Dann, Chief Operating Officer of Border Force, which is part of the Home Office, wrote a blog on the department’s intranet celebrating ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’, where he urged officials to use people’s “preferred pronouns”.

The mandarin said: “As an LGBT+ champion, Trans Day of Visibility is about recognising the contributions of our trans colleagues to the crucial work we do here in Border Force.”

Mr. Dann, who is paid around £150,000, committed Border Force to being a work environment that is “supportive, inclusive and respectful for all regardless of a colleague’s gender identity”.

He invited staff to “share their thoughts and personal stories” to a Border Force email address.

In the same blog, Jackie Armstrong, described as “Director of Operational Capabilities Command, Immigration Enforcement (IE)” claimed to be a “straight ally” and the “IE LGBT+ champion”.

David Kuenssberg, who earns around £150,000 as Director General of Corporate and Delivery, is another Home Office LGBT+ champion.

On June 26th he wrote a ‘Pride message’ to civil servants, in which he claimed Pride has in recent years “become more inclusive” and now celebrates “transgender and other sexualities and gender identities”. …

Paul Lincoln, who was promoted to the Ministry of Defence in April this year, was Director General of Border Force and the Home Office gender equality champion.

In May 2021, Mr. Lincoln introduced the Home Office Gender Equality Action Plan, which aimed to boost gender equality in the department.

He wrote: “I am clear that the issues facing people of all gender identities in the workplace are complicated and often conflicting.”

In November 2019, Mr. Lincoln published an intranet blog entitled ‘Men as allies’ in which he told officials to “mind your language”, claiming “gender-based language can have a negative impact, even if unintended”.

“If this were a normal drug, it would be taken off the market.”

Exactly this. And here is the reason why it never will be;

“Because the mRNA vaccines fall under the PREP Act definition of “emergency countermeasures,” their production is not subjected to the same testing and quality control regulations as licensed pharmaceutical products. Their production and deployment resemble that of military products during World War II.
The legal framework for this bonanza was established by the PREP Act (Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness) of 2005. This authorized the Secretary of Health and Human Services to deploy a wide array of “Emergency Countermeasures” in the event of an infectious disease outbreak. When invoked by the HHS Secretary, the PREP Act provides immunity for the “manufacture, testing, development, distribution, administration, and use of covered countermeasures.” On February 4, 2020, HHS Secretary Alex Azar declared COVID-19 an emergency and invoked the PREP Act.”

😄 Yeah alright, Mr Subtle. Bringing new, pertinent things to people’s attention is what I prefer, as opposed to posting the same comments on the same themes time and again, rinse-repeat. I don’t enjoy feeling like a broken record.😉 Thanks for the kind words Obi-Wan.

The hilarious dichotomy between Reps and Dems reg. its efficiency is a strong indication that we are basically just dispensing and dealing with a (toxic) placebo.

Worth noting that Republicans and Independents track reasonably well, it’s the Democrats that are the clear outliers.

Exactly. And one of the main reasons they will never take these death shots off the market is because now the floodgates have opened for other traditional vaccines to be changed over to an mRNA platform, as they can manufacture and get them to market way quicker, therefore proving to be more lucrative to Big Pharma. So if they removed the Covid jabs due to the major safety issues then this would be an admission that all future mRNA products are also unsafe. Sort of puts the kibosh on the whole thing really, especially the depopulation plan, which appears to be going swimmingly doesn’t it?

The mRNA system, now authorised is effectively a licence to kill.

Government agencies are all-in on the mRNA clot shots, they wont change.

What is interesting is that here we have a major polling company openly admitting that they cannot publish the results of their own poll in full because they will face censorship. This is astonishing. The land of the free? Not so much.

“A 7% major side effect rate is unprecedented. We know from the V-safe data that this effectively means that the side-effect was so bad, they had to seek medical attention. If any drug had that kind of safety profile, it would be immediately pulled from the market. Would you take any drug with that kind of side-effect profile? Of course not. It’s off the charts! However, because we are told it is a safe and effective vaccine, people do what they are told despite the lack of safety. That’s how science works.” (My emphasis)

Note that the schools that did not properly teach logic and independent, critical thinking are also culpable in this shambles that has resulted in so many deaths and injuries. If they had, it would have been much harder for the corrupt drugs companies and their collaborators to pull this off.

Many of use including myself, predicted this disaster. That is why we are unstabbinated.

41% minor and major injury. 150K dead in the US, I am guessing 50 K dead from the stabs in the UK.

Against what? 0.03% IFR….the same as the flu, average age of death 84. Not so with the stabbed dead and injured. Average age is in the 50s.

And yet Tards still want to play Rona. Diapers, more Quacksines, more LDs.

A friend’s husband (2 x AZ, 1 x Pfizer) had a major heart attack 3 weeks after the Pfizer booster and has now had another 5 months later 48 hours after having the ‘flu jab.

My friend says his brother is an NHS Consultant in A & E and they are seeing a lot of heart attack and myocarditis patients. So the NHS knows there is a serious problem ….. and they know why.

She has – finally – said they will not be having any more jabs.

“That’s how science works” is a bit pejorative, at least to those who actually have a proper understanding of the term. Something like “That’s how political abuse of science works”, or just “that’s how politics works” might be more accurate.

That said, there is no doubt that most products that had such bad results in reality would be withdrawn from the market, along with a serious risk of prosecution for many of those concerned.

This is poor science. The effectiveness and safety of vaccines can only be determined by Randomised Control Trials before they are approved. The trials were obviously inadequate and proved nothing. This is the message that needs to be repeated and those responsible need to he jailed. Because of the lockdowns and failure of health services it is difficult to determine what is causing the claimed increase in deaths and other issues. A survey of 1000 people is not reliable.

Agreed but surely it gives you a big red flag. Also when I did a Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) course admittedly many moons ago we were told anything over 30 is a large sample.

Wow, just lovely. If the jab commercials were honest: “May cause fever, chills, blood clot, stroke, heart attack, sudden death….and runny nose”
