New policing guidelines issued by the taxpayer-funded quango state that trans women could be forced to undergo female genital mutilation, despite them being biologically male.

The suggestion that they might be forced to suffer mutilation specifically intended for young girls has been branded as “insulting” to victims.

Female genital mutilation, which is illegal in the UK, includes the removal of the labia, clitoris and the almost total sealing of the vagina.

The College of Policing’s claims appear in guidance for officers investigating “honour-based abuse”, which sets out details of female genital mutilation protection orders, which are court orders officers can seek to protect potential victims.

The guidance introduced in August states that “as well as women and girls”, these orders protect “any other person who has female genitalia… and is at risk of harm from these practices and procedures”.

This includes “intersex, non-binary, trans men and women, with or without a gender recognition certificate”.

If there are people who know the difference between male and female, it's the horrendous individuals who carry out this heinous crime.

Imo the only trans identified people at risk of this are the trans identified teenage girls, any medical changes to their sexed bodies surely come under the heading of FGM
