Is this a man or a woman?

[GreatBigBird]

YANBU: man

I can’t even begin to express myself.

Argh. Move the thread. I forgot about the new place after complaining constantly about it 🙄. Why can’t we have voting there?

It's an absolute disgrace that this sort of thing is filed away under women's offences.

A correctly defined AIBU with clear choices and voting turned on should stay put, I’d have thought.

Of course it’s a man. Canada has gone right down the rabbit hole with this nonsense.

Man by sex

Transwoman by gender.

Definitely a bloke.

I'm tempted to say that the press calling this person a "woman" is almost as evil as the crime he is alleged to have committed. Perhaps "almost as evil" is a gross exaggeration, but it's certainly evil in its own way.

It depends on what they feel like of course.
Isn't that what we're supposed to accept?

Definitely male identifying as female.
I do hope the sentence fits the crime.

No way knowing anyone could look at that picture and not know that is a man.

Will they go to a women's prison?

Sex is a man…adult human male.

I have no idea of the gender as I believe it’s as relevant as the soul.

Fuck sake. When will this madness end.

Crimes should be reported by sex. Currently 98% of sexual crimes are committed by men. Keep reporting like this and it will be 50:50. How will that help women to feel safe. But they can say crime has gone down I suppose.

That's a trans woman I think. Shocking.

Don't care what he wants to call himself, that's a man.

As pp said, Canada is really going all out for this sort of self identification.

Yes, it is what we are "supposed" to accept, but it is factually wrong. He can "identify" as a woman - he is a man. He can have his genitalia removed and relaced with female genitalia - he is a man. The media and governments of the world can insist that he is a woman, and laws might be changed so as to sentence anyone who still insists he is a man, to prison or worse. He is still a man.

I assume the 2% who have replied YABU have pressed that button by mistake. Sadly we can't correct errors.

How confusing for the children assaulted to be told it was a woman who did this to them

So some publications are not using the word ‘woman’ in articles about birth and women's health, and instead refer to ‘people’ or parts of anatomy, but are use ‘woman’ to describe a biologically male perpetrator of sex crime!

And 3% think this is a woman ?

I’ve just used the ‘report error’ button to point out the error they seem to have made imho.

Oh. I can see why confusions could happen.

Jesus, he’s not even trying to look like a woman!

That is a male person. If they have committed a penis crime, they're a man. Women don't commit penis crimes.

That is indisputably a man. And a nasty one at that.
