This turns my stomach. Utterly vile crime, and then terrifying oppression of a woman by the state. This state sanctioned denial of reality is re traumatising for victims. But trauma apparently doesn't matter when it is experienced by women.
Misgendering is so terrible that a victim has to lie in court about her male attacker; the police don't mind if their description of a dangerous criminal on the run is highly misleading and it gets a woman silenced on social media. (I think there was an incident where Mermaids misgendered and that was OK. This I find weird because as Mermaids believe in gender ID surely it is far more insulting when they misgender?)
Why so much empathy for transwomen (it is rarely transmen) and so little for the devastating mental and physical toll on women who are traumatised by males and retraumatised by the very institutions that ought to protect them?
