Rapists Can No Longer Claim to be Women
Rapists will no longer be able to identify as women following the landmark transgender ruling by the Supreme Court, with police forces now expected to begin recording criminals’ biological sex rather than preferred gender in official crime statistics. The Telegraph has more.
Forces are now expected to begin recording criminals’ birth sex rather than preferred gender in official crime statistics following the ruling, which stated that trans women are not the same as biological women under equality laws.
It will end a situation where some police forces record rapists as being women, even though the legal definition of the crime requires a penis.
Campaigners, including gender critical police officers, have hailed the move as a victory for common sense and have said it will help restore public confidence in policing.
Current guidance from the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) recommends forces ask suspects if they are “male”, “female” or “intersex”.
But it goes on to state that: “Using the term ‘gender’ as a substitute for the term ‘sex’ is not appropriate as gender is not a protected characteristic.
“Gender is a social construction relating to behaviours and attributes based on labels of masculinity and femininity.”
However, not all forces follow the guidance and a recent report into the way public bodies collect data on sex and gender revealed that at least 12 police forces allowed rape suspects and other sexual offenders to self declare their preferred gender identity.
This means men arrested on suspicion of violent sexual attacks can self-identify as a woman and be recorded as such on official statistics.
The records form part of the annual data requirement (ADR), submitted by every police force in England and Wales to the Home Office. …
Police sources who have examined the Supreme Court ruling in detail believe it will sweep away the current confusion around transgender sex offenders.
David Spencer, Head of Crime and Justice at Policy Exchange, said it was time for policing to adopt a common sense approach.
He said: “This week’s judgment by the UK Supreme Court shines a light on policies across the public sector.
“An independent review this year found police forces do not consistently record the natal sex of alleged sex offenders – meaning suspected rapists may not be accurately recorded in police records.
“This could have grave consequences for whether the police are able to effectively investigate sexual offences.
“This is the sort of nonsense which leads to the public losing confidence in the police. As Policy Exchange has repeatedly made clear – it is long past time for police chiefs to adopt a common-sense approach to their work.”

That it requires a legal judgement to determine the correct viewpoint speaks volumes about the state of humankind.
The ‘social proof heuristic’ (aka the instinct to go-along-to-get-along) is partly to blame. These people begin to inquire but the first accusations of bigotry will cause them to retreat.
Others lack courage, knowing it’s nonsense but being unwilling to face the consequences of saying something.
Those who shrug off these instincts are very rare. All power to them.
We here have been rebelling over the last few years but a BTL comment is easier than facing possible career oblivion. I’ve been vocal in conversation (when circumstances allowed) but I didn’t go so far as to risk my career.
The nasty worldwide overreaction to the coof really woke me up
I’m proud to have become a lot more outspoken since the scamdemic. I have also made an effort to be better at making my point. It’s not easy, especially when it’s on subjects where I realise just how much I am fighting for and how much is at stake.
I have since called out the trans crap at work. No lawsuits yet.
I am also repeatedly presenting a different narrative on Trump, Ukraine, Save-The-Planet, etc. I know I am ruffling feathers but it’s usually the feathers of the champagne socialist types. I take pleasure in that.
But what ‘s*x’ would you use to describe this beauty? And which changing rooms should he/she/it use? http://www.snouts-in-the-trough.com/archives/37621
Seems it’s been a busy day all over England with the ‘cocks in frocks’ nutjobs and their traitorous women handmaidens out en masse, collectively chucking all their toys out the pram. The state of these mentally unhinged mingers;
”Men fighting to put rapists in women’s prisons. Absolute scum.”

A couple of counter protesters get mobbed by what can only be described as the inpatients who have escaped from the local psychiatric hospital. One of the placards of these brave ladies reads, ”The word woman is ours. You’re still a man”. Think the word ”man” might have triggered them. I get that, a lot…;

Interesting. And they only seem to identify as women *after* they’ve been arrested. What sort of woman-hating psycho puts men proven to have abused women in a female jail, locked up with vulnerable women who cannot escape? It’s a predatory man’s wet dream;
”Sir, I am delighted to see that the Supreme Court has applied the test of common sense. I was horrified when it was decreed that pre-operative male offenders with a gender recognition certificate could be held in female prisons. A high percentage of these prisoners were convicted of sex offences against women, and the reality was that it was not possible to guarantee that female prisoners — many of whom had suffered abuse — could be kept safe.”

“…criminals’ birth sex…”
So…. their sex, then.
Let’s not continue to use their twisted language.
That’s very welcome news, but it’s insane that rapists were allowed to pretend to be women in the first place, and the victims in court were forced to call the rapist ‘she’ and ‘her’. No right-thinking person could regard that as appropriate. It’s an absolute disgrace that it happened.
What is this “are expected to” bollocks?
How about some “will be obliged to” and the chief constable will be sacked if he doesn’t?
Mealy mouthed b’staads.
Why would it restore confidence in the Police? They gleefully went along with the nonsense and targeted biological women who resisted the twisted LIE that a born man can become a woman.
In yet another sign of the mental deterioration of the people running this country is the list of 51 – yes just to confirm like unusual football results were in the teleprinter days FIFTY-ONE – genders that criminals have claimed to be to avoid justice.
