When Kevin Spacey was accused of sexually assaulting Anthony Rapp, he announced that he was gay.
He was hugely criticised for seemingly using his sexuality to try and distract from the accusations.
This police officer, who spoke “a lot about the powers he had” in the Met as a special constable, acted male in 2018, acted male in the five years of their “on-off relationship”, and acted male during most of the trial.
It was only during the sentencing that they transitioned.
Most trans people spend ages transitioning. Most doctors recommend living in their affirmed gender for at least three months to over a year before starting hormone therapy - to ensure confidence in their decision.
That’s self identification, and that’s not what appears to have happened here. I don’t think most people realise that - why would they?
This person may be transgender and a danger to women, but they are not a danger to women *because* they are trans.
“The key point is that you are a very significant risk to women,” Judge Cooper said. “This is not predicated on your trans status, but on your criminal status.”
I feel sorry for the victims, for women, for the trans community that has to put up with this, and for anyone who feels unsafe when they may have only seen the headline.
