Woman, 41, pretended to be a boy to groom a girl

I wonder if this is like prison post code lottery.

I have been puzzling over this as well (as an aside):

"Mitigating, Robert Harding said that because technology had changed so much in the past 15-years, Brooks had struggled to understand social media and online networking."

I'd say that they understood social media and online networking EXTREMELY well.

Some clever person on twitter mentioned tweeting this to Penny Mondurant. I think she should get tweeted all of these stories doing the rounds.

As posters upthread have pointed out under self ID logically if claiming / believing he's a woman means he's a woman, then claiming / believing he's a minor would mean he gets tried in the juvenile courts. Having read a bit of queer theory, I do wonder if that is the endgame here. Same with trans racial. Either they're all real, or none of them are and it's a psychological condition (body dysphoria).

You really can't have it both ways.

Going to take advantage of the freedom allowed in this instance to say he is not a woman never will be and never was. Ah that's better

It's like scratching a really bad itch, isn't it?

It's pretty simple really, either they are all women including Jacinta or none of them are.

I hope this story travels and travels it’s so rediculous.

I keep feeling like I've slipped into an episode of Black Mirror. and

Twitter link, anyone?

Ooh thanks that would be my second strike today.
Thank god he is in a men’s prison. Funny though him being a woman and all.

According to this article this person is in a men's prison: HMP Winchester:

There's another report - it's his third offence but the good news is that this says he's in HMP Winchester which is a men's prison

Fires of Mordor just been on the phone- they want their Ork back

I thought you knew, jocularity is banned.

Completely fluffed that

If TW are not women only when they do bad things,

Oh.... I give up. I've confused myself

By the way, has this lovely story hit Twitter?

All over it.

You cannot claim that self-ID is a good thing, that TWAW, and say "but we didn't mean the rapist paedophiles." Either your proposed law encompasses everyone, or it is meaningless. (I'm going for meaningless, but then I've been saying that for years).

Correct.

Molokonono

Good point

And if TWAW only when they do bad things, does that mean that I'm not a woman?

And is Myra Hindley a woman or not?

That is not a woman though! How come the press are saying so?!

NothingonTelly and Molokono nail it.

This is clearly a man. As are Craig Hauxwell, "Karen" White, David Ayrton, Martin "Stephanie" Ponting. The list is long.

But so too are our lengthy list of twitterati and sports "stars".

FFS. Being a 'genuine woman' is not a matter of moral purity. It's not a club you can only join if you are not a child abusing creep. It's not a moral judgement to say someone isn't a woman.

It's a simple biological categorisation that has feck all to do with how you feel about yourself.

What the ever living fuck is wrong with you if you can't grasp that simple fact???

"No true TW", eh?

So are we breaking the rules by saying this man is not a woman??
