thanks for the clear reporting, PeakedReporter
I presume this is going to be recorded as man’s crime because as I understand it (even in the case of rape, an offence which requires a penis, the male sex organ) crimes (which are recorded by sex of criminal), are now being recorded based on how the criminals identify.
Basically making it look like women have suddenly been committing a lot more sexual offences and crime in general than they actually have done. Which is then used to inform all kinds of policies and service provision...

Sorry if you know all that already. It’s patently offensive to women and worryingly misleading to everybody because of what follows from the idea that it’s women doing these crimes.
