I understand this case it was not a female sexually assaulting another female. But it’s not true that it never happens, I have been sexually assaulted by a fellow woman. I was just minding my business at a house party when this dark haired woman barged over, grabbed my head and planted a slobbery disgusting kiss on my lips. I freaked and pushed her so hard she fell over and spilled her drink all over herself. And I was told I had over reacted. And yes, I am a female woman born one etc etc.
I’m sorry, that’s awful

the fact that assaults by women are rare does not mean they never happen, people are wrong to say that.
Regarding the article, I think, unfortunately, British newspapers are obliged to go with the gender identity of the perpetrator- I don’t know if the guidelines prevent them from referring to ‘transwomen’ (which would be more honest at least) rather than woman though.
