Man investigated by police for retweeting transgender limerick
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/0 ... -limerick/
A docker from Humberside has been investigated by police over a limerick he posted on Twitter after an officer claimed it constitutes a ‘hate incident’ against transgender people.
Harry Miller, 53, from Lincoln was contacted on Wednesday by a community cohesion officer following a complaint that had been made about the plant and machinery dealer’s social media posts.
Citing 30 potentially offensive tweets, the PC singled out a limerick Mr Miller had retweeted which questioned whether transgender women are biological women. It included the lines: "Your breasts are made of silicone, your vagina goes nowhere."
Even though no crime was committed, sharing the limerick online was recorded as a 'hate incident'.
...After Mr Miller questioned why the complainant was being described as a "victim" if no crime had been committed, the officer told him: "We need to check your thinking".
Here's what the limerick was:
You're a man.
Your breasts are made of silicone
Your vagina goes nowhere
And we can tell the difference
Even when you are not there
Your hormones are synthetic
And lets just cross this bridge
What you have you stupid man
Is male privilege.
You’re a man, you’re a man
We can say it, yes we can
That you’ll never be a woman
Even if that is your plan
Every cell is coded male
From your birth until the grave
You are simply a man
Neither stunning nor brave
Your penis isn’t womanly
Your wig is poorly made
Your idea of womanhood
Just doesn’t make the grade
You think we are just caricatures
Or porn tropes for your use
You pretend that you can be us
But it’s merely more abuse
You’re a man, you’re a man
We can say it, yes we can
That you’ll never be a woman
Even if that is your plan
Every cell is coded male
From your birth until the grave
You are simply a man
Neither stunning nor brave
Your great big hands and manly head
Are difficult to hide
A hand in front of Adam’s fruit
Proof does not provide
That you have changed your actual sex
Because your brain is pink
It’s laughable to those of us
Who can actually think
You’re a man, you’re a man
We can say it, yes we can
That you’ll never be a woman
Even if that is your plan
Every cell is coded male
From your birth until the grave
You are simply a man
Neither stunning nor brave

Ironically this limerick was originally composed by a feminist who apparently was insulted by the concept of "transwomen" because she believed it could undermine and derail the feminist movement. (How can you argue for special protections to uphold women when the other gender can just claim to be a woman?)
Her name "Ali Bee" on YouTube and describes herself as a "Radical feminist, gender atheist, abolitionist, old woman singing", and the limerick first appeared in a song she sung and posted on YouTube on January 28, 2019.
