no, that's not PC enough…

I would suggest: Reproductive organ of a non male persuasion.

This I find confusing as it is not a reproductive organ.

The external genitailia of a female or male to female transgender.

Just to add didn't it say in the ARRSE Newsletter that we aren't allowed to swear in the current affairs forum?

I'm confused because I thought the only words policemen knew were " What'd ya want us to do about it ? "

Terms such as 'afternoon' and 'evening' are somewhat subjective in meaning

Where does it all end?

You know, sometimes I wonder if those 'diversity champions' responsible for this are actually double agents. They're actually secret BNP activists, coming out with all this toss to bring down the system from within. It is soooooooo bizarre getting it's unreal.

Tis old english…

Although it has been said that "etymologists are unlikely to come to an agreement about the origins of 'cunt' any time soon,"[5] the word is most often thought to have derived from a Germanic word (Proto-Germanic *kuntō, stem *kuntōn-), which appeared as kunta in Old Norse. Scholars are uncertain of the origin of the Proto-Germanic form itself.[6] In Middle English, it appeared with many spellings, such as cunte and queynte, which did not always reflect the actual pronunciation of the word. There are cognates in most Germanic languages, such as the Swedish, Faroese and Nynorsk kunta; West Frisian and Middle Low German kunte; Middle Dutch conte; Dutch kut; Middle Low German kutte; Middle High German kotze (prostitute); German kott, and perhaps Old English cot. The etymology of the Proto-Germanic term is disputed. It may have arisen by Grimm's law operating on the Proto-Indo-European root *gen/gon = "create, become" seen in gonads, genital, gamete, genetics, gene, or the Proto-Indo-European root *gʷneH2/guneH2 (Greek gunê) = "woman" seen in gynaecology. Relationships to similar-sounding words such as the Latin cunnus (vulva), and its derivatives French con, Spanish coño, and Portuguese cona, have not been conclusively demonstrated. Other Latin words related to cunnus are cuneatus = "wedge-shaped"; cuneo = "I fasten with a wedge", (figurative) "I wedge in", "I squeeze in", leading to English words such as cuneiform (wedge-shaped).
The word in its modern meaning is attested in Middle English. Proverbs of Hendyng, a manuscript from some time before 1325, includes the advice:[7]
Ȝeue þi cunte to cunnig and craue affetir wedding.
(Give your cunt wisely and make (your) demands after the wedding.)

Ahem, don't you mean wimmin?

I'm trying to decide my reaction if I was a Chief Constable and a report like that flashed across my desk. I think I'd either stand up, quietly crab my coat, and go home to write my resignation letter, or I'd hold a Gene Hunt look-alike contest among the force, with the winner to replace the recently departed E&D officer.

Oh my God!!!
You used the word "women" which contains the word "men" and therefore implies women are merely a varient form of men.

You MUST at all times use the word "Womyn" to refer to all females.

No, I think they would arrest you for calling them that.

No they wouldn't, they will all be too busy filling in forms in the station

I'm sorry, I'm confused, do you mean the train or the bus station?

Clearly a case of someone being confused by the word Station. I think it needs to be added to the list of banned words.

I meant in the Police Office

of course filling in their monthly diversity forms

No, those kind of words are completely unacceptable.

You couldn't make it up..

Police ...

The organized body of civil officers in a city, town, or district, whose particular duties are the preservation of good order, the prevention and detection of crime, and the enforcement of the laws.

I assume that has been extended by Government diktat to include forking about with the English language and enforcing Political Correctness?
Ooops, that's abbreviated as "PC", can we say that?
Or would that also be ...

Fork off, Cuntstable ...

A peace officer with less authority and smaller jurisdiction than a sheriff, empowered to serve writs and warrants and make arrests.
