Two police forces are slammed after refusing job applications from candidates who believe people cannot change biological sex

Two police forces have been slammed after they refusing job applications from candidates who believe people cannot change biological sex.
A woman who enquired about a role at Norfolk Constabulary was told the job would not be suitable for her because of her ‘gender critical’ views.
Her application to another force in the southeast was unsuccessful after she made it clear she does not believe a person can physically transition to the opposite sex.
She was told her views would likely fail the behavioural competency test and her views did not constitute ‘the behaviours expected’ of a member of the force.
Campaigners have criticised the police for deciding ‘which views are acceptable and which views are not’, reported The Telegraph.
It comes as a police officer of 16 years in her 30s anonymously emailed 26 forces that were advertising for future constables asking whether her ‘gender critical’ views would be a hindrance to her application.
She wrote: ‘I must point out that I am gender critical, which means that whilst I am firmly against abuse and discrimination to trans people, I do not believe you can change your biological sex.’
Of the 14 forces that responded, two suggested her application to a constable job would be unsuccessful, including one from her own employer in the southeast.
