No because male & female are descriptions that will always be around , and we all do it to describe someone.

There's a difference between making a genuine mistake when referring to someone, similar to getting their name wrong, and doing it on purpose to harass them.

You can't eliminate MALE & FEMALE pronouns, the person can be offended all they want. But if they're a suspect the police isn't going to know what their gender terms are right off the bat. It's about catching criminals etc. |

When theybradio in to report they have stopped a male...for nothing!!! It's not all high octane, speed chases where they shout IC 1 MALE ON THE RUN, into their radios. When they stop you, for nothing...they are instantly harassing you, so to then assume your label preference is further harassment.. So should they then be held accountable? |

I imagine them stopping and searching someone "for nothing" is a bit more of the priority problem than referring to them with the correct pronouns. |

Like I said I hardly think it matters when the priority is catching criminals or questioning potential suspects, you're creating problems where there isn't . |

I may add that the police have already been instructed to not genderise people in a memo sent to all forces.

If you're so worried about this, then when or if you ever get questioned by the police to describe a suspect then I'm sure you'll say "well officer the person was a person with such and such hair colour,eye colour but I can't pinpoint their gender " . Mistakes get made ,men get misgendered as female just for having longer hair and an androgynous face ,and women likewise for being Tom boys . Last edited by GoldHeart; 15-06-2021 at 10:01 PM. |

Its not about describing someone to an officer...its about the officer assuming you, to someone else over his radio.

POW! BLAM!

If they just say male or female instead of man or woman, that'd sort it. Male and female aren't "genders", so it doesn't matter if the person identifies as something else.

If you ever get asked to identify or describe a potential criminal or suspect in an incident, what are you going to say then ? .
" Well officer I can't describe their gender as I don't want to offend them" ? . |

Depends on the crime, if it's one against a large company, I will keep shtoom, quoting the fact I dknt want to offend that person. If its rape or something slightly less serious than that I will just say male, i will say, "he was a black male officer, of youthful appearance" |

So it should technically be the other way around. They could say "man" or "woman" based on presentation, they actually do NOT know if the suspect is male or female. Unless they're naked. But then I suspect "they're running down the street naked" probably serves as a good enough description. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 15-06-2021 at 10:38 PM. |
