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The draft guidance will determine whether gender identity could affect consent and address issues over whether a suspect’s gender identity differs from the sex they were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

Probably because trans "men" can actually pass.

That's because they pretty much are men and aren't mostly just playing dress-up like mtfs. Humans are female initially, and change during prenatal and pubescent development from hormones. You can always go forward with it but you can never go back.

I love the r/ftm sub on reddit, bunch of crazy, fucked up women. They don't strike me as men at all. They think like women so they write like women.

I don't consider genderfluid sparkle girls ftm, regardless of what they say. All they want is attention. Most of them don't even seek medical treatment, because they're happy with their female bodies, they only care about the gender role. I'm sorry they're sexists but that doesn't make them men just because they think women have to act a certain way.

Also, the writing style test can easily fail. People usually try to determine someone's sex based on which one they're more stereotypical of, and it's never accurate. People don't have the social pressures of gender behind an anonymous username. Your impression of /r/ftm is most likely confirmation bias.

I'm sick of this gender stereotype nonsense, it's the driving force behind most of the recent trans insanity and "gender is a social construct". And people who think they're fighting back by enforcing gender roles again are only reinforcing it.

I admit it isn't perfect. I have confused men for women, and have even been confused for a woman myself due to some usernames.

It's possible.

Ditto!
