Refreshing to see the media reaction to this case.

If that's him in the top picture, the title should better say "transsexual man" etc...

[Comefromaway]

Who wears a red lacy basque to court? It says everything doesn't it?

[thepuredrop]

Wonder what defence he will use in Crown court. Mental anguish due to pc of GR?

He may be a gender non conforming man.

[BraveBananaBadge]

Possibly, Jelly. Still legally going by a male name, and a paper blatantly misgendering a trans woman would get hell (am not saying that status should go undisclosed in court reporting, btw). From the info we have he just seems to be cross dressing.

[Barracker]

Do archive that page, in readiness for the rewriting of history that often occurs subsequently.

[SirVixofVixHall]

He is not a transsexual man as he has a penis.

This person has spent almost every afternoon for the last five years walking around the city centre and Eldon Square wearing this exact outfit.

I don't think they own anything else.

"He is not a transsexual man as he has a penis."

My thoughts exactly, good to see some honest reporting for a change.

[Ghislainedefeligonde]

Yuck that outfit. Talk about the elephant in the room...

[MingeofDeath]

I know I shouldn't have but I did laugh when he dropped his trousers and exposed a baguette.

[geojellyfish]

There's nothing to suggest this person is trans? I thought as mostly GC feminists, we support people being able to wear gender non-conforming clothes, etc. without it meaning anything about their sex or gender identity?

[WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld]

If we are going by stonewalls trans umbrella then he is trans.
It includes cross dressing and gender non confirming

[ArabellaScott]

first suspected of outraging public decency by dropping his trousers and brandishing a bread baguette

[Terranean]

@Comefromaway I know, why waste an opportunity where so many eyes should be on you!

I might be wrong but wasn't Jessica Yaniv that went to court on a tiara?

[OneEpisode]

I don’t think Jessica (now known as Jessica Simpson) wore a tiara to court. I think Jessica wore a low cut ball gown to speak at a local council meeting. That’s different.

[RedDogsBeg]

So what happened as the case was due before the Crown Court on the 19th of January this year?

[MishyJDI]

If that person committed a crime, then they do the time. Simples. The court will decide. Individual responsibility for one's actions...

I suppose I'm from a time when this meant cross dresser. My age has been outed! Oops

[alkanet]

Dropped his trousers & exposed a bread baguette??? Bragging?

@Comefromaway

Indeed. It says everything we aren't permitted to say on this forum, for fear of deletion and a strike.

Lucky a picture is worth a thousand words.

[toffeebutterpopcorn]

I think ‘brandishing a baguette’ did it for me (then I realised it wasn’t a euphemism.

[toffeebutterpopcorn]

Are we sure they photo used was the same person?

(Brandishing a 🥖) 🤭

[BraveBananaBadge]

I liked how they had to clarify 'bread baguette' to avoid any confusion 😂
