As @MerseyPolice are warning us not to be transphobic whilst refusing to tell us what transphobia is, it falls on us to provide the working definition, kindly offered by @stonewalluk 
Note: if you deny the existence of ‘gender identity’, you automatically fall foul of @MerseyPolice. If you consider sex to be binary then you automatically fall foul of the police.
What’s more, if you say nice things about Dame Jenni Murray or JK Rowling you are in danger of being recorded as a transphobe by @MerseyPolice.
If you ask ‘Is transgender day a thing, then?’, or ‘Who won the Olympic 1976 decathlon?’ the @CollegeofPolice will support @MerseyPolice recording you as a transphobe. We know this, don’t we @Humberbeat?
If you insist on single sex spaces or single sex sport, or refuse to call Sam Smith ‘They/them’, then you are a transphobe according to @MerseyPolice.
Bear in mind that it is @MerseyPolice who put a ten foot lie on a billboard and paraded it through an Asda car park.
So, it’s not really surprising that @MerseyPolice do not wish to engage with the technicalities of definition and law. They would rather make shit up and hope that no one notices. @threadreaderapp unroll.
