@AnungIkwe The involvement of the police in this is what interests me most.
I can't decide what the motivation is. My thoughts so far are:

Blackmail - Watson et al have something over one or more senior officers and the price of not revealing it is to do their bidding.
Genuine support for the cause - senior officers really think that the cause of the genderwoo is so important that it supersedes all other considerations, including the law.
Fabricated support - the police didn't want any further allegations of -isms and -phobias, so they leapt onto this bandwagon when it was fashionable; they now regret it, but it's difficult to escape without losing face.
Abilene paradox - The infiltration of Stonewall training has convinced most police officers that everyone else wants to prioritise the genderwoo so they are the odd ones out if they have doubts.

I'd genuinely like to know.
