This is interesting.
'During the two-day hearing the paedophile asked to be referred to as 'Ms' and by the pronouns 'she/her', and sat in the dock thumb-sucking, with long hair in bunches and wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with pictures of kids' ABC building blocks as well as the words “I am mentally 3-7 years”.
But the court heard Verainer, whose previous convictions include sexual assault of a child and possessing indecent images, has no underlying mental health disorder, learning difficulty or brain injury.
Furthermore, a psychiatric report concluded that despite an expressed desire to be diagnosed as an "adult-child" or with "adult-child syndrome", no such medical condition exists and was, the expert stated, "perhaps a life choice or a manifestation of extremely poor coping skills" by the defendant.'
Verainer is absolutely and every bit as entitled to be seen as a transwoman as every other transwoman. His offending history should have no bearing on the matter.
And frankly, if the court and police are willing to say he is a woman and call him 'she', then I can't see what's stopping them accepting his 'trans age' declaration, either. Changing sex is just as possible as changing age.
(We saw this chap before, btw: 'During those legal proceedings, the sex offender made headlines by appearing in the dock dressed as an elf')
