When You Start To Meddle With The Stats, The Government Doesn't Like It...

...because they consider it their job:
Home Secretary Priti Patel has ordered ‘woke’ police forces to stop recording offences by trans women in female crime statistics.
Home Office officials are working with police forces on a new procedure for officers to record the sex of criminals to ensure crime statistics are ‘more accurate’.

Nice timing, Priti! You've headed a potential scandal off at the pass:

City firms have been wrapped up in an equality row after it was revealed diversity proposals will allow companies to include transgender women in their gender roll calls.
Equality targets will require more than a thousand of Britain's biggest companies to close the gender pay gap.
But the proposals define a woman the same way as LGBTQ campaign group Stonewall rather than the way gender is usually recognised under UK law.

Stonewall again! They seem to be the ones peering back every time a corner of the rug is lifted, lately... 

...concerns have also been raised about the role of FCA executive director Sheldon Mills, a solicitor from Cardiff, who helped draft the policy.
Mr Mills also acts as chairman of trustees at Stonewall and helped draft the diversity targets in the Listing Rules, which require companies to record the percentage of female staff in senior board positions based on their self-identification rather than legal sex.

And this is why. Because they are everywhere.

Lift any of the metaphorical steaming turds left by the extremes of the Cult of Trans and you will almost inevitably find Stonewall. I used to have a lot of time for Stonewall, when they were genuinely working for LBG equality that is. Not any more now that they've decided to uncritically align themselves and promote the cult of trans.

Ms Patel is right to clamp down on Wokus Dei aka the UK police forces recording male sexual offenders as women. It's distorting figures that are needed to work out what is going on. Sexual offending where women are the perpetrators is not that common, it certainly exists but is less common than sexual offending among males. Including those male perpetrators who claim to be women in sexual offences cases and sexual offences records gives the false impression tht there has suddenly been a jump in women carrying out sexual offences, which is not the case, what has changed is a large group of men claiming to be women being nicked for sexual offences.

It's worth taking a look at a site like Trans Crime UK to see that there are an awful lot of MTF's who are involved in some seriously nasty sex crimes including exploitative paraphilias who are getting described as women, wrongly I might add, by the police, the media and agencies that are tasked with the management of offenders.

The only way to deal with Stonewall is via a " killing method consist[ing of] immobilization of its prey followed by precisely directed, deep bites into the soft tissue driven by powerful neck muscles", not unlike Thylacosmilus.

Stonewall originally did work for LBG equality and actually achieved that which they had set out to achieve. Unfortunately, as with many other NGOs, having actually succeeded in achieving their aim left them with a dire problem: what now for our (highly) paid employees/activists?

Bandwagon jumping is the simplest answer - re-invent ourselves as activists/lobbyists for some vaguely related cause and we still have a raison d'être and can therefore justify our continued remuneration and self-justification.

That would certainly be a useful way to deal with the gender screechers. Just get some of the blokes to wear skirts to the office and everything's ok.

Perhaps they could also wear blackface, and sort out all the diversity problems at once.

Mr Treen. You are probably correct there. Stonewall achieved all it set out to and brought equality to LBG people. Why they chose to not disband and bask in the satisfaction of a job well done might be due to many factors. One could be infiltration of the group by TRA's something I'd seen and been told was happening with various workplace equality discussion groups. But another more cynical reason would be that those in Stonewall had got used to the prestige and influence that campaigning gave them and also many of them had bills to pay so they needed another cause and the cause they chose was the cult of trans.

In a way it's sad. Stonewall could have been remembered as a good thing, a group who achieved equality for lgb people, something that had been fought for since the mid 1950's. The problem is by pivoting towards the cult of trans and all the baggage that comes with it, Stonewall have tarnished their once good name and I don't think the history books will be kind to Stonewall when their story is written down.

" I used to have a lot of time for Stonewall, when they were genuinely working for LBG equality that is."

Which they've now achieved. So as Ted points out, what to do? Disband and find other employment?

Clearly that doesn't find favour with those grown fat on the 'cause'...

"It's worth taking a look at a site like Trans Crime UK to see that there are an awful lot of MTF's who are involved in some seriously nasty sex crimes..."

I shall bookmark that one!

"...not unlike Thylacosmilus."

Sadly a much more mammalian felid now, on Twitter at least.. 😉

"Perhaps they could also wear blackface, and sort out all the diversity problems at once."

That, I'd PAY to see!
