Represented by Claire McCann.

If successful this could also apply to sexual offences such as rapes.

Implications of this plus self-ID for women's safety are hugely disturbing.

I guess they think NO ONE should be ever allowed to know. It's ridiculous as most of these males are probably pretty obviously male.

I think we can take it that Claire McCann knows exactly what she’s doing.

Too woke for her own good, or the good of most women.

M&s McCann is a barrister doing her job, FFS.

Ms. Also FFS.

Beachcomber i totally agree with your carefully worded post at 09:29.

True but a few minutes on google and Twitter seems to suggest she is very invested in representing the interests of transwomen. I assume WEP were fully aware of this when they invited her to speak.

This should really be posted in AIBU or Chat. It's huge and has very far reaching implications.

Incidentally wtf is with "birth gender" all the way through the article? Birth sex!
Also, sorry, but "outed" as trans? It's unlikely anyone doesn't realise! Like someone will find out about his past male crimes and go "shit, I really thought you were a laydee"
This is definitely trying to set a VERY dangerous precedent. But why?

They did. It's seen by transactivists as a UKTELI panel. Not a neutral one.

There's a question.

They're tying themselves in knots though aren't they? We keep being told that women have have penises, so what exactly is the problem? When will someone in a very senior position stand up and say enough of this madness?

I don't agree with birthh sex. It's just sex surely.

Id guess this person has probably physically transitioned. But I agree it's strategic litigation so that the GRA changes will open this up to many more.

The group mentioned "Unlock" are said to be "looking for other cases".

This kind of thing is exactly what UKTELI was set up to do.

Can someone explain how importuning is different to prostitution? They were in a clip joint presumably money was involved?

As it stands at present, you’re legally obliged to reveal all previous names. It includes names before marriage and changes by deedpoll. For a number of reasons, I would like to forget my previous name before I married. I must still disclose it for a DBS check.

This does rely on people being honest. However, it’s an offence to fail to disclose relevant details or to give false information and it’s an offence they take very seriously.

What I mean though is if women can have penises and that is completely normal a v uninteresting then of course penis - specific convictions could validly be in a woman's record.
But they want them removed. As they know full well women don't have penises.

They know no one else believes it either. But I'm not so charitable as to think they will only do this for privacy reasons.

Well exactly. It's such an amazing coincidence that previous sex offences would be wiped from their records. We can trust these people though, right?
Let's hope this is laughed out of court.

And by 'these people' I mean the MEN who are using the trans agenda for their own ends. I feel very sorry for genuine trans women at the moment who are aligned with this lot.

Wtf!

"Helen’s barrister, Claire McCann, said disclosure of offences that revealed Helen’s birth gender in criminal record checks was “severe and discriminatory interference with Helen’s right to respect for her private life”."

So, Helen is concerned about Helens right to a private life - nobody knowing that Helen is in fact trans...

Helen weighed up a few people at the DBS end (who have no idea who Helen is) having access to that info, versus a controversial legal case and the predictable nationwide press coverage that would ensue, and decided the legal case was the best way forward...?

Umm...

I can see why this could become a very lucrative income stream, for all the wrong reasons.

I need to stop being shocked at things like this. Every day more and more evidence to show that the safety of women and children is far less important than the feelings of these men.

I just had a look at the Unlock website, to see who is donating to them. There is big money somewhere financing these Trojan Horse cases.
