PCC Lisa Townsend says Nope.

Surrey’s police and crime commissioner has snubbed a complaints panel decision and refused to explain herself to Reigate’s MP after her transgender tweet caused offence. Lisa Townsend was found to have breached her office’s code of conduct by tweeting about “men who keep telling us they are women”.

She has now rebuffed councillors by refusing to carry out their proposed remedy. She said she would “not be writing to explain myself to” complainants, including Conservative MP Crispin Blunt, as was requested by the panel that oversees complaints against her following a two-and-a-half hour long discussion in February.

Women saying men are not women; whatever next?!

Back in December the PCC retweeted and commented on a post from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling implying biologically male rapists are not female, enraging the trans community.

That “implying” is artful. “Are you implying that biologically male rapists are not female??!!?!”

If “the trans community” is enraged to hear that biologically male rapists are not female, it needs to get over itself. Not that we don’t already know that.

Mr Blunt – who chaired an LGBT group in parliament – and two other men reported her to Surrey County Council’s police and crime panel, and its complaints sub-committee found the language she used was a breach. Four against three members decided that her words “We will not accept this gaslighting from men who keep telling us they are women” failed to treat others with dignity and respect.

Hey. They don’t treat us with dignity and respect. Pay attention.

The Reigate MP came under fire this month for questioning the jury conviction of his fellow MP Imran Ahmad Khan who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old boy in 2008. Mr Blunt said the Wakefield MP was the victim of a “dreadful miscarriage of justice”, which met with such a backlash he had to apologise and resign from his role on the cross-party LGBT group.

But he’s still bullying Lisa Townsend. Chutzpah.
