Apologies if this has been shared already. A disturbed young woman (now identifying as a woman again) presumably put on testosterone repeatedly attacks and coercively controls her girlfriend www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/3c01f6c81f1a2d35

Yes, but most men have natural testosterone and are not aggressive. Obviously I realise some are. So perhaps this is about artificial testosterone.

They are in comparison with women. It’s interesting. I mentioned a particularly nasty crime and asked DS and DH what they thought should be done about such sex offenders. Simultaneously, DH suggested cutting their knackers off, and DS suggested capital punishment. Both very mild mannered, not an aggressive bone in them. Their go to response, all be it jocular, is pretty aggressive.

I don't think she'll get her testosterone in prison, and there'll be plenty of other women there who are just as violent and unpleasant, so she might end up getting a taste of her own medicine.

I read this as the DT clearly telling us she's a she while also reporting the weird contortions in court where she is referred to as "he" because that how she wants to identity.🤷

It reads as if it was the prosecutor who used he/him pronouns for the defendant and I wonder if this was done to stress the masculine nature of the crime as well as because that was how she identified at the time. The Telegraph either uses Ms or avoids pronouns for the defendant.

Yes agreed! It's a step forward for the DT as I think they've previously tended to follow court usage.

Is there any research showing effects of testosterone on women?

Swedish research found that while transwomen retain a male pattern of criminality, transmen become more like men.

Second, regarding any crime, male-to-females had a significantly increased risk for crime compared to female controls (aHR 6.6; 95% CI 4.1–10.8) but not compared to males (aHR 0.8; 95% CI 0.5–1.2). This indicates that they retained a male pattern regarding criminality. The same was true regarding violent crime. By contrast, female-to-males had higher crime rates than female controls (aHR 4.1; 95% CI 2.5–6.9) but did not differ from male controls. This indicates a shift to a male pattern regarding criminality and that sex reassignment is coupled to increased crime rate in female-to-males. The same was true regarding violent crime.

This article by de-transitioner Helena describes the effect testosterone had on her which included feelings of rage and anger and also anxiety.

Men are more aggressive on average than women, even men who are normally not inappropriately aggressive.

And animals, including male animals, are more aggressive than female ones.

In both cases, humans and animals, extra testosterone tends to increase aggresion.

Goodness- that's extremely disturbing.
Both are victims.
I'm not excusing the previously-trans person but what an awful story

I'm not sure how the perpetrator is also a victim?
Yes it's unusual for women to be abusers but not unheard of, yes being on testosterone may have made her more aggressive but she was clearly an aggressive abuser to start with. I don't see how she was a victim.

Ariana12 · 17/02/2026 21:29

Yes agreed! It's a step forward for the DT as I think they've previously tended to follow court usage.

It's not a step anywhere, it's because when she went to court she wanted people to use male pronouns and now she doesn't. It's perfectly coherent with trans ideology and nothing to do with recognising reality.

I don’t believe that testosterone makes people behave badly.

Have you ever heard of "roid rage"? I am a qualified fitness instructor and used to be a regular gym goer up until the pandemic. I have seen plenty of examples of aggressive behaviour in males who take anabolic steroids.
Testosterone is a natural, steroid hormone, produced in the human body. Synthetic versions of testosterone are anabolic-androgenic steroids.

Yeah that's a reach
was Elliot Rodger the victim of incel ideology? I don't think so.

Ohcrap082024 · 18/02/2026 10:26

What have I just read? The woman in trial is still only 20 and these offences started just under 3 years ago. So, a 17 year old female on testosterone potentially committing serious sexual offences. Whoever prescribed to/ treated that young person has serious questions to answer.

I note that the trial is happening in Hove. Not surprised.

I didn't think anybody had suggested that the perpetrator was a 'victim', sorry if I missed FranticFrankie's posts when I said upthread that there was nothing but condemnation here.

If you wind back far enough through the history of violent people, there are often points where they went wrong/things around them went wrong.
I agree that for this young woman, it was being fed the lie that she could become a man, and possibly the effects of testosterone on a female body.

The extent of her cruelty and violence suggests that she might have been a nasty piece of work even without the testosterone.

It would be good if she was rehabilitated in prison, when she is off the testosterone - rehabilitated, not 'getting a taste of her own medicine', prison officers have enough to deal with without punishment beatings by prisoners.

There was only one victim in this case: the woman she terrified and assaulted.

Hove crown court covers a large area. I did jury service there and the crime was committed in Bromley.

Scary that she is identifying as a woman again.. just before she goes to prison and gets locked up with loads of vulnerable women.

This was one of my first thoughts too...

Yes this is the famous Swedish study that transactivists like to ignore.

And it was all done post transition, which constituted surgery I believe.

The men retained male pattern violence. And the women, whereas they were still statistically below male pattern, they were higher than regular female pattern.

FranticFrankie · 18/02/2026 13:46

Sorry @MarieDeGournay I understand your point and I absolutely agree re condemnation for the perpetrator but my point was that if this perp hadn't been led down the path of 'gender affirming care' -cross-sex hormones at 17???- and instead had treatment for her mental health, there might not have been an attack.
Of course no one can know for sure.
Perfectly possible that she could just be a nasty, violent individual

Most men have been trained to channel their natural aggression into those kinds of competitiveness which are socially sanctioned.
Just watch a crowd of men cheering on their sports team on the TV.

Trans man cleared of assaulting woman with prosthetic penis

Zainab Jamshaid wept as she was found not guilty of 13 charges including coercive and controlling behaviour

The jury heard Jamshaid was manipulative and their relationship became controlling.

The alleged victim told a court she was beaten and hit repeatedly and claimed she wept as she begged Jamshaid to stop.

The teenager also told the court that during their two-year relationship, she had also been punched in the face, hit in the face with a wine bottle and attacked with a maths compass.

The jury retired on Monday and on Tuesday, after nine hours of deliberation, they found the defendant not guilty of all 13 charges.

Another charge relating to harassment had been dropped earlier in the trial.

I've just read this. Both of them are so young. I hope they can get help and move on with their lives.

MarieDeGournay · 25/02/2026 10:09

You really have to be in court to hear all the evidence, don't you?

The jury heard everything, and found her not guilty of all charges.
I wasn't expecting that, but I hadn't seen this before:
the court heard the couple had a consensual sadomasochistic relationship.

What a mess at such a young age. As lcakethereforeIam said, I hope they can get help and support to move on from this disastrous start to their adult years.

Yes I know it reported the SM relationship but that was part of the trial.

That the "safe" word was not respected.

I cant even get my head around consensual SM, but surely even jury made up of random individuals will have heard that is they are "consensual" then at any point either can so no, stop now by using the safe word.

To me it sound like someone not understanding what rape by stealth is.

So the issue is consent.
