I suppose this trans-identified rapist assaulted Anna with "her penis."

Absolutely despicable. The victim is doubly victimized, first by the rapist and then by the court, expecting her to bend the knee and capitulate to their assailant's demands to be referred to as "she."

And to do this to a 14 year old! Despicable.

Referring to a trans identified male as 'she' during a court case is another form of abuse. Women do not rape women with their female penises, there Is no such thing. Everyone involved in this cruelty are not fit to do their jobs, and they aren't necessarily yielding to a toxic ideology, they are simply behaving the way misogynists with power behave.

The Court is asking a victim of sexual assault by a male to commit perjury at the court's direction. This is obscene.

Thank you, Julie, for everything that you do.

It's only because the authorities are playing this stupid game. If they said "You are male and will be treated as a male in this case" it would kill this behaviour stone dead. If these men thought they'd have to go into a male prison wearing a dress, they'd soon realise that the game was up. Just stop playing the game.

This is one of the weirdest stories I have ever read. Shows how much women are devalued in our society.

It isn't the first time it's happened, and I'm sure it will continue happening whilst women are barely given the status and rights of human beings.

Thanks Julie.

These are not women's crimes and should never be recorded as such. Furthermore, it does re traumatize the victims of rape to pretend that their attacker is a fellow woman. Rapists are absolutely not women.

No, we don't really read The Sun but I am glad you get published anywhere you can get your message out. It's important.

I’m so heartbroken for her. First he defiles her and then forces her to further degradation with a not guilty plea and appeal and subjecting her to having to hear him described as a woman. And such a trivial sentence🙄

He’ll offend again, that much is sure.

The system is absolutely toxic for women.😑

Child rapist in California is claiming that their gender-affirming treatment will make them more vunerable to attacks in prison. He's has also been previosly convicted of having sex with a 13-year old girl. Here is the article from the San Francisco Chronicle today. https://eedition.sfchronicle.com/infinity/article_popover_share.aspx?guid=23c83000-0ec6-4139-b239-a9a1bae51c84&share=true
