Serving officers have established a gender-critical network to challenge self-ID policies they believe undermine public confidence and the law. The Mail has more.
The serving officers have launched the Police Sex Equality and Equity Network, accusing the service of “actions that embed gender ideology” within forces nationwide.
They called on bodies representing both rank and file officers, as well as chief constables, to recognise lobby groups and activists within policing in England and Wales had created a “culture of fear” among those holding gender-critical views.
The group said by focusing on gender issues, police forces risked undermining public confidence.
‘Police SEEN’ have said the group intends to emulate the civil service network, which was established “to re-focus attention on improving equality and equity between women and men”.
The group said in a statement: “Police SEEN warns that the influence of lobby groups and activists within U.K. policing has created a culture of fear which prevents officers and staff who believe there are two sexes and that sex is real and immutable, from speaking out, for fear of disciplinary action.
“They believe a formal internal network is desperately needed, not only to provide a voice and support for those who want to ensure the law is upheld, but also to restore political impartiality to policing.”
Examples cited by the group of gender ideology in the police service include recent guidance that would allow trans-officers to strip search people of the opposite biological sex.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council, which published the guidance, was forced to retract it and conduct a “thorough” review, following an outcry and concern from the Government. …
The group also accused police forces of routinely recording crime data based on gender self-ID, rather than biological sex, including in reports of rape – an offence which can only be committed by a man.
The National Police Chiefs Council, the Superintendents’ Association and the Police Federation, were all asked to support the new group, Police SEEN said.

An excellant article – I particulary like your point about saving face. The government made this political stand of lockdown, with the associated dire effect on the economy. They must now realise the we are not dealing with the Black Death, but they have to ease the lockdown slowly so that it looks like they know what they are doing! It’s not their money, after all.
I agree, an excellent article – even better after seeing the UK Governments response to the ‘second wave’. It seems many of the new restrictions are made to counter (future) criticism that it was slow to lockdown at the beginning. Alexander Hamilton is right, ‘political’ fortune is inflaming the minds of men.
I wonder if the shortage of tests has been engineered to get the government out of their own hole? By limiting tests to Joe Public, the number of positives ought to decrease because as we suspect the positives increase when the number of tests increase. This shortage should at the very least prevent the daily positives from rising.
I agree entirely. I have only just come across this website and wish I knew about it earlier, as at the time of your article I thought I was the only person to see the madness.
To sum up how people thought/think we saw a cyclist riding on a dangerous dual carriageway, with black clothes on, no high-vis or lights on – but he did have a face mask on!
Yep. Because the media hadn’t told him he could get hit by a car at night earlier in the day. Troubling how gullible and devoid of original thought so many are.
We need to fire the media. People are getting sick, but we don’t need to be told about Covid every time we turn on TV. We know if we or our loved ones get sick because it actually happens.
I wonder if they’re trying to cause mass hysteria.
But fear produces an emotional response. Terrifying headlines make good clickbait.
“The New Normal” and similar propaganda soundbites scared me more than any disease. It sounds like some want this current state of affairs to be permanent. But not where I live. We’re sick of it. We enjoy socializing and acting like human beings here.
I masked out of fear of infecting others. Doesn’t seem to help much but it is flu season. I quarantined twice when I suspected I had it and feared I might infect the elderly in my neighborhood.
If it were just my own life at risk and the chances were 50% death instead of 0.4% (according to CDC) I’d say “Hang the risk” and go out and LIVE. We’re all going to die anyhow.
I hate this nightmare. But many seem happy with it being permanent. Hermit misanthropes I guess. If they remained quarantined permanently and let the rest of us live like people should, would anyone miss these antisocial, misanthropic cranks?
BTW, the New Normal can’t last forever. When the economy gets worse food shortages and rolling blackouts will further inconvenience us. Wonder how the lockdown zealots will handle those? And how will they cope with no TV or “social” media to tell them their daily thoughts during blackouts?
