London police investigate woman for criticizing trans doctor

London’s Metropolitan Police are investigating a woman for a social media post in which she criticized a transgender doctor.

‘Intimately examining female patients without their consent’

Dr. Kamilla Kamaruddin is a male doctor who declared himself a woman in 2015. Two years later, he wrote an article for the British Journal of General Practice in which he described the overwhelming support he received from colleagues and patients alike. 

“In fact, after my transition, [patients] even allowed me to perform more intimate examinations that they did not let me to do when I was a male GP,” Dr. Kamaruddin wrote. 

He added that patients “did not ask any questions at all because they either thought I was a female GP or it did not bother them at all that I was a transgender doctor.”

This admission prompted Maya Forstater, who heads the women’s rights group Sex Matters, to voice concerns about whether Dr. Kamaruddin’s patients were giving their informed consent. In a tweet, Forstater said Dr. Kamaruddin “enjoys intimately examining female patients without their consent.”

Police launch lengthy investigation

Last year, police summoned the 51-year-old Forstater to Charing Cross Police Station, where they threatened her with arrest for “malicious communications.” They interrogated her about whether she meant “to target a member of the transgender community” and if she understood that her “tweet could be perceived as transphobic.” Police wanted to know if Forstater had any “remorse” for her tweet.

When investigators demanded “evidence” that Dr. Kamaruddin examines his patients without their consent, Forstate pointed the police to Kamaruddin’s own words, in which he appears to admit to examining patients without them knowing he is truly a man.

On Thursday, Forstater revealed that she remains under investigation ten months later.

“Instead of issuing a firm No for the sake of women and girls, politicians squirm and call the debate ‘toxic’, ‘polarised’, and a ‘culture war’,” Forstater wrote in an article for UnHerd. “Officials and judges fear being labelled as transphobes and so avoid challenging the whims of the trans lobby. They trust and hope that someone else will draw the line on a case-by-case basis, so that inappropriate and abusive things do not happen.”

Forstater is one of many Brits who have been either arrested and/or investigated for criticizing gender ideology.

Police interrogate elderly woman for snapping photo

In August last year, British police interrogated an elderly West Yorkshire woman for a “hate crime” after she snapped a photo of a sign expressing support for women.

The 73-year-old taxpayer used her phone to photograph a sign which read, “Stand by your trans” on which someone had placed a sticker reading, “Keep males out of women-only spaces.” Though she did not share the photo on social media, a CCTV surveillance camera caught her taking the photo. Days later two West Yorkshire Police officers called her at home claiming they were investigating the action as a hate crime and then tried to re-educate the woman.

Police arrest autistic child for ‘lesbian’ remark

The incident came just weeks after Leeds police violently arrested an autistic child for remarking that she thought a policewoman looked like a “lesbian.” The 16-year-old, who has scoliosis, was held in custody for 20 hours before being released.

Police arrest mother at her home for ‘misgendering’

In June last year, Surrey Police attempted to assign a probation officer to a journalist accused of “misgendering” and to monitor all her communications. 

Caroline Farrow, a journalist and mother of five, was the subject of a five-month-long police investigation in 2019 for opinions she expressed on social media regarding gender disorientation. According to Farrow, her chief crime was “misgendering” — referring to someone by their actual gender and not the gender they claim to be.

In 2022, Farrow was also arrested in her home for “malicious communications and harassment” while she was making dinner for her children. Photos provided by Farrow show police forcing their way into her house. When she asked to see a warrant, they replied, “We don’t need one.” Police seized several electronic devices, including from her husband’s parish next door. They then brought Farrow outside where a female officer subjected her to a body search and took her to the station.

Police arrest taxpayers for posts about rainbow flags

In December 2022, London’s Metropolitan Police summoned James Goddard to a meeting due to a social media post which offended supporters of rainbow flags.

In July 2022, a decorated British war veteran was arrested for “malicious communications” after police received a complaint about one of his social media posts. The offending post showed a swastika made of rainbow flags, a commentary on the state-sponsored intimidation of citizens to embrace same-sex attraction and gender disorientation.
