Revised guidelines - exceptions for compelling pronoun use in court

[FatAgainItsLettuceTime]

I've just seen that the Equal Treatment Bench Book was reissued as a revised version on 14th July to provide exceptions so that victims don't have to use preferred pronouns of violent offenders.

Feels like July 2022 is the month of people seeing sense.

All the way down in chapter 12 in the 'Treatment of trans people in court' section

Maria MacLachlan is owed an apology and the compensation that was docked because she didn't call Tara Wolf 'she'.

I made a complaint to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office at the time and will follow up.

She deserves a public apology and compensation. The judge was so illogical in agreeing to follow that maintaining-of-a-lie protocol that their ‘judgement’ was unreliable, especially given the woman was penalised in some way.
