Revised guidelines - exceptions for compelling pronoun use in court

I've just seen that the Equal Treatment Bench Book was reissued as a revised version on 14th July to provide exceptions so that victims don't have to use preferred pronouns of violent offenders.

Feels like July 2022 is the month of people seeing sense.

All the way down in chapter 12 in the 'Treatment of trans people in court' section

That's a small step. I suppose there was the realisation that all the self interested legal professionals who contributed to the initial directive were actually promoting perjury and lying under oath?

I'm still unhappy that the ever growing number of male born sex offenders who claim to be women get to be called she - especially when their crimes are against women and children.

Mmm... Gender assigned at birth? Hmm
