Police raid seizes book saying that men cannot become women
by Tony Rucinski, Coalition for Marriage:
Police have arrested a 53-year-old disabled woman and raided her home, after receiving complaints that she had put up posters around Newport featuring phrases that caused offence. The phrases included “humans never change sex” and “Woman = Adult Human Female”.
According to The Times and the BBC, Jennifer Swayne accused Gwent police of acting ‘like the Stasi’ after her annotated copy of the book, ‘Transgender Children and Young People: Born in Your Own Body’, was taken in the raid. The academic book argues that the rise in transgenderism is the result of political activism, not science.
Ms Swayne, a women’s rights campaigner, told the Times she was not transphobic, had never used the word “trans” on her posters, and was only concerned about women at risk.
Upon arrest, she reportedly had to lie on her back in a police van, owing to her disability, on the way to the station. She says she was detained for over 12 hours and questioned, before being released after 3am and finding the book had been taken.
