British Transport Police claims people who question gender ideology should not work for them

The British Transport Police (BTP) has suggested that people who question gender ideology should not work for the force.

It comes after an officer tweeted a picture of members of the force holding a Pride flag with the BTP logo emblazoned across it in Brighton this week.

The tweet accompanying the image said: 'Great to see BTP represented at Brighton Pride today. 

'Loads of opportunities to join us. We want you to apply to be part of a modern, diverse and inclusive police force.'

But the force's official Twitter account is facing criticism over discriminating against people 'holding gender critical beliefs'.

BTP's tweet read: 'We love to see it. Inclusion isn’t political, and we’ll always celebrate being as diverse as the communities we protect. 

'If you’re offended by this, please don’t apply to work for us - thanks.'

The tweet comes after an army veteran was arrested by police for 'causing anxiety' after retweeting a picture of a swastika made out of Pride flags on social media.

Darren Brady, 51, has slammed Hampshire Police for 'impeding his right to free speech' after he was placed into handcuffs at his home in Aldershot for sharing a meme last month.

Footage of the arrest was widely shared on social media and showed an officer who told Mr Brady he was being apprehended because his post had 'caused anxiety' and been reported to authorities.
