It begins.

Rapists will no longer be able to identify as women following a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court.

Forces are now expected to begin recording criminals’ birth sex rather than preferred gender in official crime statistics following the ruling, which stated that trans women are not the same as biological women under equality laws.

It will end a situation where some police forces record rapists as being women, even though the legal definition of the crime requires a penis.

Finally the police will have to stop forcing rape victims to call their rapists “she/her.”
