I complained to greater Manchester police about a similar case a while ago. Their eventual response admitted it was not a woman. Took a while to get a reply though, I had to chase it up. I don't know if they've changed their news report yet though.

Go to the Lancs police page and complain. I will. You don't have to live in the area to complain.

Please could you share the link to where we can send a complaint?

It is utterly absurd and frankly fucking insulting for a British newspaper to describe a violent, abusive and manipulative man as a woman. There is nothing at all about this person that is female and there never could be, since he is MALE. Yet the word in the headline that is in parentheses is 'dangerous' and not 'woman'. Why??????? This gaslighting bullshit has to stop!!!!!

deedeemegadoodoo · 17/12/2024 08:48

I’m also sick of this. What can we do protest? Is there a petition?

@AnnoyedAsAllHeck "Yes, but I will bet my monthly chocolate allowance that he raped her with his penis. But, because he calls himself something he can never, ever be; they call it sexual assault."

This makes my blood run cold. So he probably did rape her with his penis but because he's decided that he is a woman, therefore, by law, he can't be charged with rape. WTAF?! This is utterly stark staringly mad fucking bonkers!!!!

I just cannot make sense of any of this. Why, just why are certain people pandering to these pathetic individuals?!

It’s skewing all the data and statistics as well as tarnishing the reputation of women. It simply shouldn’t be allowed.

Startingagainandagain · 17/12/2024 08:58

This is not a woman and this will never be a woman.

At the very least the headline should say 'transgender woman'....

Not appropriate that this man will be skewing the statistics for women and crime or that he should be put in a female prison.

Whatever happened to common sense...

"Assault by penetration" 🙄- fuck off with that, HE raped her. Disgusted with this now.

For 'in general' stuff, check out Women's Rights Network. As for this specific case I guess you can just email the newspaper and complain.

I've just come across "UK Women's March - 2025" (a walk in various local towns/cities to protest about VAWG) from another thread in 'Feminism' on here and I thought 'brilliant, something I can physically do to show how fucked off I am about all this shit'....but don't be fooled though, it's for women but also that includes transwomen...cos TWAW after all.

We literally cannot have ANYTHING...ANYTHING to ourselves can we. FFS. I'm so angry. 😡

@OutWithTheMule the well justified outrage needs to be show cased. Or should be all just pipe down and be kind to dangerous violent rapist ?

So insisting that male born rapists, paedophiles, murderers etc should be accurately sexed and not called women in the media is now a hobby? I can think of worse.
Campaigning for the media, police and judiciary to stop lying and report accurately male violence against women and girls seems a very acceptable hobby.

I’m so sick of these trans crimes.

I'm astonished that 3% of people voted YABU.

Hairyesterdaygonetoday · 17/12/2024 09:34

Shame on all the authorities who collude in these lies. Victims are forced to commit perjury by agreeing they were raped by a woman. Statistics have become useless.

Given the madness in the world at present I’m surprised it isn’t higher! And also a bit depressed that I feel heartened that it’s ‘only’ 3%.

They've put quotation marks around the word they are quoting. (From the judge's remarks.) Punctuation, not trolling.

This makes my blood run cold. So he probably did rape her with his penis but because he's decided that he is a woman, therefore, by law, he can't be charged with rape.

The law is clear that the offence of rape is committed with a penis.

Whatever the identity of the person to which that penis is attached.

A charge of assault by penetration means something other than a penis - an object or other body part - was used.

Which is still horrific for the victim.

And as has been pointed out already, the sex of the victim in this case is not stated. Either sex can be victims of rape or assault by penetration.

HangryBeaker · 17/12/2024 09:59

They should open a special prison for men pretending to be women. Better make sure to secure a big plot of land next door in case it needs to expand in future.

Wittow · 17/12/2024 09:59

It made me so angry that he has called himself "Angel". It feels like absolute madness that he may actually go to a women's prison depending on how far he has gone with "transitioning".

I fear any action events about VAWG are now infiltrated by hostile trans activists and our right to protest about this shit is even being compromised.

Yep. How can you ever monitor statistically whether women are at more risk now they’re allowing trans women in to female only spaces, if the perpetrator is recorded as a female?

And it’s ’only’ 3% because it’s been posted on MN. Any other forum and that number would be far higher.

As for coming on and saying it’s boring?!!
Has anyone seen that family guy sketch where a trans woman is sitting at a bar, openly watching porn and the bar man goes over and says ‘you can’t do that in here’ the trans woman replies with ‘it’s ok, I am a trans woman’ the barman replies ‘oh sorry, that’s ok then. Do whatever you want’ and walks off.
Feels like that here doesn’t it?

NordicwithTeen · 17/12/2024 10:06

This and the shooting by what seems to be a trans student...we really need to be clear on bio sex so the stats don't change and not match the psychology of crimes.
