This one, too.

Some choice quotes about that case:

One victim saw images of Watts without her disguise. Watts initially claimed the picture was her cousin and then claimed it was Jake trying out women’s clothing. When a victim asked Watts why Jake’s bedroom was pink, she said it used to be a female relative’s room.

"When the police told me Jake was in fact called Gemma I thought this was not really real."

"It’s been life-changing for all of the victims involved. They believed they were in a relationship with a young teenage boy, to then find out this was actually a female."

"They have been completely taken in by Gemma Watts. They all believed they were in a relationship with a male."

"I think there will be further victims, who were in a relationship with Watts, who will now realise she is a woman."

This from the judge:

"None of them would have consented to sexual activity with you." (One victim was 16, legal to have sex with a 21-year-old.)

Also the judge, from the Evening Standard:

"she (the 16-year-old) felt physically sick when she found out you were a girl. She too has had suicidal thoughts."

Everyone involved (the victims, the law enforcement) is horrified by her lying about her sex, not her age. Everyone understands lying about one's sex negates consent. They're almost ignoring she's also a pedo.

And yet say the magical word trans, and sexual assault is suddenly ok.
