Then please tell me to my face right here on Saidit before everyone, that modern day criminal forensics is now a load of horseshit because of its "inherent transphobia". What about criminal forensics experts using DNA samples to determine the sex of the criminal? All BS, you say? That forensics experts can't even tell a criminal's sex, let alone anything else from a DNA sample. I bet every criminal forensics expert is laughing at this article right now. The mere suggestion that criminal forensics cannot use a DNA sample to determine the sex of the criminal because that would be considered "transphobic" is beyond delusional. Yeah, let's not bring up criminal forensics, because the mere existence of that field is hard proof that there people are just parrotting a salespitch from Big Pharma mean to push synthetic steroids, not giving people the actual scientific FACTS. No matter how many synthetic steroids you swallow or feminization surgeries you undergo, your DNA stays the same. You commit a crime as a trans person and leave behind DNA at the scene of the crime, the forensics expert will plainly tell the prosecutors what you really are.

Absolutely. I remember a while back, I came across this tweet ("Even archaeologists can’t always tell female from male bones with certainty."), and I LMAO because whoever posted this nonsense literally doesn't know how contemporary archeology (or anthropology for that matter) of human remains is conducted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeogenetics

Police in the UK are the biggest goon squad of Europe, so many instances where I've seen like 10 policeman try to control one person. They're hopeless. One guy has a screw loose or a weapon and they're literally fucked. They literally get bullied.

They have a technique where they all hold a limb and the head so the guy doesn't hurt himself hitting the floor. But people still see it and see 10 police on one man - obviously must be police brutality.

In the UK we have a very low rate of police dying on the job, and a very low rate of DIC (deaths in custody) compared to America. We can literally have years go by with no cops dying on the job. We've had oonly about 250 die since 1900. Adjusting for officer numbers its about 10 times higher in America.

I had one ex UK cop tell me that he was against being armed because US police are more likely to be shot and killed by a crazy and stupid colleague than by a criminal.
