Norfolk Constabulary has issued a new guide for the police force,
it appears that officers are making mistakes when describing people and their sexual identities, so this guide has been issued to police officers and staff to help them when dealing with members of the public, force staff who are confused by any of the definitions are directed to the ‘gender bread person’ diagram, which includes a series of sliding scales that relate to gender identity, sexual orientation, gender expression and biological sex, the document, ‘The + in LGBT’, explains current terminology alongside a picture of a ‘gender bread person’ lets face it if an officer calls a man a woman by mistake or the other way around I guess the police could be sued and less face it, if the police publicly called me a maverique and I was really varioriented and in no way gynosexual I would have a team of the best lawyers in a no win no fee company I could find, and sue for every penny the police force has! but with the help of the above Gingerbread man, oops I mean person, officers will have no difficulty in identifying the 37 different gender terms and sexual identities, the guide has been issued to police officers and staff to help them when dealing with members of the public, well that's a relief!
