24 JANUARY 2019 ⢠10:00PMA docker from Humberside has been investigated by police over a limerick he posted on Twitter after an officer claimed it constitutes a âhate incidentâ 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 dealerâs 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: âYour breasts are made of silicone, your vagina goes nowhere.â
Even though no crime was committed, sharing the limerick online was recorded as a âhate incidentâ.
PC Mansoor Gul told Mr Miller: âIâve been on a course and what you need to understand is that you can have a foetus with a female brain that grows male body parts and thatâs what a transgender person is.â
4. I said, I didnât write that. He said, âAh. But you Liked it and promoted it.â
I asked why he was wasting his time on a non crime. He said, âItâs not a crime, but it will be recorded as a hate incident.âAfter Mr Miller questioned why the complainant was being described as a âvictimâ if no crime had been committed, the officer told him: âWe need to check your thinkingâ.
