Damn, I wonder how all the TRAs who were trying to blame this on TERFs are going to spin this now?

And I really wonder what his motive was now. Did one of the women at the club reject him? I really hope they're not going to try to keep this story all hush hush now like they did with the Dana Rivers trial.

It could just be a desperate attempt to escape hate crimes charges, which wouldn't surprise me in the least - but it's been fascinating watching both sides leap to conclusions without waiting for any details to emerge. Social media really has created a huge divide in human relations in the west.

But gee, I thought no one could ever pretend to be trans to get away with crimes? Maybe he is "pretending" to be NB, but by TRA logic that's not actually possible. If the only requirement for being NB or Trans is identifying as such, then him claiming to be NB means that's just what he is now.

So either TRAs can admit that self-id is and always was a terrible idea or they can follow their own rules and honor this guy's "identity". Cuz I'm sick of their hypocrisy. They're always screaming how "misgendering" is lItErAl ViOlEnCe, yet they so often seem to be first in line to misgender dudes like this or the big fake tits shop teacher or Yaniv.

I also find it funny that somehow identifying as trans should lower the possible punishment. So are the trans actually the most oppresed minority ever, which is always at risk of being murdered or actually a privileged class thriving on its made-up victimhood?

Not only that, but they get to be placed in women's prisons which are generally lower security and they get the run of the place.
