AIBU to think the media should report people’s actual sex—not preferred gender—in legal cases, courts, and crime reporting?

I really don’t think it matters in most instances to the general news reading public.

And if they don’t understand what a “trans woman” is….Google is free.

I agree. I'm so fed up with male crimes being reported as committed by women.

It also obfuscates the issues.
For example writing

"She was given access to the female changing rooms" vs

"He was given access to the female changing rooms"

Make such a difference in getting the message across.

Yes
It has impacted both set of stats

Police changed the way they recorded crimes.
so if you IDed into the "trans" classification you report was recorded under a "anti-trans hate" crime

So you Errors (F) go to the police as your NDN (M) was parking blocking your drive and you/NDN both hit each other.
You both report each other.
You dont ID as trans your NDN did
Before the change you have not committed a "hate" crime but after the record method changed you have.
And the sex box was renamed so you a female have assaulted another female.

So overnight your local nick went from having zero to a 100% increase in "anti-trans hate" crime.

That was used by the media and politicians.

In court for both caaes your NDN is reported as female and gets she/her prononus.

On conviction the stats would be
2 Female perpetrator
2 Female victim

If you IDed as trans
1 Female 1 Male perpetrator
1 Female 1 Male victim

And its a 200% jump in hate crimes

Yanbu….obvs

Yup.
People carry their wokeness as part of their identity and so get very defensive when it is challenged. Almost as though you are attacking them personally. I try never to pick a hill to die on, instead basing my opinions on whatever knowledge I have up to that point. I have never seen a valid argument in favour of transgender people’s right to take over women’s spaces.

They are very black and white in their thinking. In order to virtue signal and feel like a ‘good person’ they will believe that any ‘marginalised’ group is full of good people and they can do no wrong. I have seen threads on here where people have accused the OP of being racist because she has said that anyone who is not a British citizen who rapes a woman in this country should be deported back. Let’s forget for a moment that not everyone who isn’t British is non-white, just as not everyone who IS British is white, these people showed more compassion towards men committing violent crimes than the women on the receiving end of it. It beggars belief.

Do I believe that the majority of trans people are good people just trying to live their lives how they wish? Of course! Do I believe that there will be a number of them that want to abuse that? Absolutely. Do I believe that women should budge up for any of these people? Absolutely fucking not.

I can feel sympathy for an individual suffering from gender dysphoria and still believe that they should not have access to spaces meant for people of the opposite sex.

I will say some of the less #bekind media does what they’re instructed to and use the preferred pronouns but post a photo to clearly say up their readership ‘look with your eyes and see clearly what this person is even if we’re not allowed to actually use the words but come on, the state of it’

Regardless of its many faults the Daily Mail is very good at shining a light to show its readers exactly what’s going on

Yanbu

Should be.. "Bob Jones, a 57 year old man from Wigan who now refers to himself as Barbara Jones..."

No more nonsense.

Totally agree with you the wokeness of this country infuriates me

Probably you’ll get told that TWAW and everyone who doesn’t agree is a hateful transphobic far right nazi bigot.

Just the same tired old cliches on repeat without actually offering any genuine insight to their thoughts.

Unfortunately some seem to think ‘misgendering’ a rapist in a bad wig and pink leggings is a worse crime than the sexual assault he’s committed and seem more concerned about his hurty menz feelz than the victim.

Under English and Welsh law (not sure about Scotland) rape requires a penis, ergo it’s a male crime.

Surely the answer is to refer to people as Male, Female, Transman or Transwoman universally then everyone knows who we all are.

The proposal that Transwomen are called Women and real Women are renamed CIS Women is stupid and illogical. The VAST majority are born women so no good reason for them to be renamed. The tiny minority can have the new name Transwomen.

All of those poor people without movable thumbs - who can only jab at every single thread and open it, whether they want to or not, rather than being able to scroll past all of the ones that don't interest them like most of us, eh?

I couldn’t agree more, it leads to really confusing reporting.

I would though like to a few steps further and record patient sex on hospital records as currently it is gender though blood result levels are adjusted for patient sex. 🙄

Totally agree. It's lying and creates distrust. Now whenever we get a report of a 'woman' committing a violent or sexual crime, we always doubt it's actually a woman.

They did, don't know if it's changed back

Some people think we spend too much time on it, apparently. It could also be that. 🫠

Yes me too

I never cease to be astonished that we got ourselves here. Imagine seeing this thread ten years ago?

I would have thought it was an elaborate hoax

Of course the press should report facts and not fantasies. I’d like to hear from some of the 12% who think you’re unreasonable

It’s outrageous this is happening, it only benefits men to attribute their crimes to us.

It does feel like 1984 territory when the press is telling the public "woman has been found guilty of rape", when the accompanying photo shows that "woman" is very clearly a man. Yet of course we are not "allowed" to say that a man is a man, for fear of offending his delicate sensibilities.
