The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has launched a consultation over whether a suspect's gender identity can affect consent in cases of rape and sexual assault.

Wider guidance on rape and sexual offences was comprehensively amended last year, but a particular section about gender deception will now be updated following a 12-week consultation beginning today.

The draft guidance will determine whether gender identity could affect consent and address issues over whether a suspect’s gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.

This includes whether language used to describe a transgender defendant in a criminal case is appropriate.

The consultation comes after multiple high profile cases where an offender has tricked a victim into believing they are a different gender in order to sexually assault them.

This seems to be an area where transmen lead the way, at least in the number of convictions, tricking women into sleeping with them.

Nice to see the other side of the troon coin come up for a change.
