Woman arrested "had intially been mistaken for a man"

I'm sure this story is fuck all to do with gender identity

So you think the attacker is female?

Do you accept bets?

And?

Why is it even relevant?

There are plenty of well-built women with short hair that could easily be mistaken for men, especially in a situation where the victim is panicking I'm sure this story is fuck all to do with gender identity. Stop making it something it's not.

The fact the police didn't attend is the bigger issue.

Search East Dulwich Forum, you can read the accounts first hand.

Here is the tweet

A local forum has threads detailing all the assaults. They all say young male, 20s. The police say they have arrested a 53 year old woman apparently. I think we need to reserve judgement on this one. Something is not quite adding up.

@ErrolTheDragon do you know more - did he serve time and now is released and doing it again?

This whole thing is disgraceful and dangerous to women who need to be on the lookout for a potential attacker. The privilege of men who get to walk the streets feeling safe, and get to dictate how we should feel and talk about our safety, is staggering.

The police system seems deeply messed up and requires a massive overhaul. Not least to weed out their own abusive officers.

Let us not forget though, that the politically correct "feminist" response is to completely defund them and release all female identifying prisoners even rapists (Sisters Uncut) and also ideally not to even call them in the first place if one is a white woman (Oxfam).

Also this never happens and when it does there's no point in single sex spaces because rapists gonna rape anyway.

From a distance I once mistook a 6 foot tall bald man for my 5 foot tall brown haired mum.

Hid my embarrassment though as I walked past him after not long since waiving at him at shouting MUM MUM IM HERE.

This was actually on my way to an opticians appointment as well.

And these crimes will be attributed to women

Why are trans people's feelings worth more than the actual lives of women?

I guess they will be housed in a female prison with no safeguarding measures for the female prisoners?

More and more determined not to roll over that take this.

I feel like I'm going to explode with rage. As I understand this person is currently attacking and strangling women in Derbyshire and police are giving a confusing description of them!

I have acquired some of DSs old school sports tops (he didn’t wear them and they are good quality) so I wear them. They are for a boys school. Clothes are clothes.

Did you know that the Police are concerned about violence against women and girls? Did you know that they want us to contact them and to trust them? Did you guess, like me, that they were too busy putting on their rainbow garb for pride month to have time to respond to attacks on women?

imagine this person in court & being id by witness
lawyer "Now you are saying you were strangled by a man or a woman - your child says one thing & as you can see they are definitely a woman"
..."

Can someone please tell me why this is male attire. Cargo trousers and a hoody?

I dress like this often and I'm a woman. Am I now a trans man? I'm soooo confused!!

And angry, very very angry.

It's being memory-holed because the suspect is awkward.

I haven’t seen this reporter anywhere else. Some person is running around attacking women and it’s not report worthy?

This story has been on my mind all night. It is just so disturbing. I tried looking to see if any other news outlets are reporting on it and couldn't find anything. Shouldn't this be more widely reported? There's nothing on BBC news.

As said repeatedly on this board - police inaccurately specifying details of suspects - particularly violent suspects actively puts the public - especially women at risk.

We know why the women stated the assailant was a man and why the assailant was able to do this repeatedly in a way a woman could not, nor with male victims.

Cowardly police.

And to not turn up when there is a risk of loss of life.

She should have used the wrong pronouns - that would have got them there earlier.

Slight derail - The other day I was saw a man with his kids who were practising their cycling. They went up near a person and the dad shouted out (he was quite far away) "mind the lady!" and when they got back he asked if they had thanked the lady. It was quite (un)remarkable that he could see her pronoun badge tell that far away and it made me think how everyday it is that we do this
