From the Telegraph:

Police are treating graffiti stating that “men can’t be women” as a hate crime, The Telegraph understands.

Gloucestershire Constabulary is investigating after slogans were daubed around Stroud ahead of the town’s annual Pride march.

Police said the graffiti was “targeted towards transgender people” and the incident was being treated as a “hate crime”, but did not reveal what the slogans said.

The Telegraph understands that the slogans included statements such as “men can’t be women”. Others included “you can’t change sex”, “being female is not a costume”, and “trans women are men”, according to sources.

So hateful! 

The Telegraph previously revealed that the Pride event planned to ban performers with gender-critical opinions whom organisers deemed “harmful”.

Which presumably explains why people decided to put up these slogans, as a protest against the constant pandering to trans activists. Pride is clearly no longer about gays – who've won their rights and would just like to get on with their lives thank you very much – but all about the T. 

The slogans were either cleaned off by Stroud council or covered with painted “pink love hearts”.

Photographs show that the slogan “you can’t change sex” was altered to say “you can change sex” and left in place, along with new graffiti that stated “trans rights”.

Tony Davey, the mayor of Stroud, said the original gender-critical slogans were an attempt to sow “hate and division” and to “instil fear”.

Instilling fear? By pointing out the idiocy of gender nonsense?
