Woman arrested "had intially been mistaken for a man"

Does anyone remember this case and gem of a news report?

That is a gem. That's just trolling now 😂

Maybe the US does it better than our press

I am not sure I know many women who have the height needed to be able to strangle another woman,

The first victim estimated her attackers height to be about 5'7" although we don't know her height. Her account is on the East Dulwich forum linked above.

No idea what’s going on with the sex part but worrying as my area

Women in the area are asking if the police have arrested the right person and whether they are safe.

This is what happens when words no longer have meaning

Ah. This is absolutely bonkers. It's actually intefering with police work and isn't helping victims.or potential victims either. Absolutely mad and bereft of common sense. I'm raging!

That is absolutely bonkers. Wtf is going on here?

I am not sure I know many women who have the height needed to be able to strangle another woman, the power of grip or the handspan. Although, it didn’t say whether the person tried to strangle with something other than hands, which again requires height and power.

But I guess the victim and the other women, they were all mistaken and we are all just nasty people.

I do look forward to the photos during the court case.

This is a mess, women's confidence in the police must be decreasing. I'm generally supportive of them but I've started to feel they can't be trusted.

I live near where this happened, and there's been discussion on the local forum (including from the first victim herself). The attacker was initially described by her as a man in his 20s. It makes no sense whatsoever that the person arrested is not only female but also apparently 53. It's about as unlikely you might misjudge someone's age so drastically as you might their actual sex too. This whole thing, including the utterly appalling 'response' from the police, just stinks.

Strangling strikes me as a very male crime, this whole story is odd, not helped by the fact you can't believe what the police say anymore.

As for the inaction of the police, that is a disgrace. They virtue signal about violence against women and girls, but in reality this is how they act

If this comes to court and the victims are made to use female pronouns I will personally give every penny I have to legally challenge the bench book.

Certainly, it is possible it was a woman who was mistaken by 4 people she attacked for a man. (Maybe because they have assume knife attackers to be male). I'm not ruling it out. But I'm betting on the other possibility for now.

Oh and (d) men are increasingly aware there is a lot of upside to saying they're women. Particularly if they're an offender.

The person appears to be male but is female

Again, do you take bets? I'm betting the person is male and calls themselves a woman.

I think this is significantly more likely because (a) all witnesses described them as male after close-up encounters, where their build would have been obvious, (b) males are far more likely to be commit this sort of crime, and (c) we know the police will lie about men's sex and call them women on demand.

The story is clear that a way was attacked in the street by a complete stranger who she identified as a man. Police did not attend because they were busy on other calls. During the flowing couple of days, three more women were attacked at exactly the same place and all identified their attacker as male.
An arrest has been made and the suspect identified as female.

This tells us a number of things

Someone is crazy violently attacking women in east dulwich
The person appears to be male but is female
The police are so under resourced that they cannot attend attempted murders in this area at times

Why is it even relevant?

It's relevant because I think the police are lying, and I don't think the police should be lying.

Even if they're not lying in this case, which I doubt, their behaviour where they've lied a lot of times in the past has now led me to believe there lying, and I don't think police should be making people think that they're lying.

Is that unreasonable?

Do you accept bets?

Id lay a healthy bet on the sex of the perpetrator being exactly as the victim described.

Would the police take more seriously reports of a man throttling a woman, or a woman throttling a woman?

Ian’s it wasn’t that long ago that the police wouldn’t bother to come out to ‘domestics’.
