He'll be identifying as a woman as soon as it's sentencing time.

"Transwomen are women" unless it's inconvenient to the narrative.

A 'male sex pest' who allegedly dressed up as a woman to assault another man in a town centre was today remanded in custody.

Wayne Rogers, 46, from Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire, was arrested yesterday accused of assaulting a man in the town centre in the early hours of September 11.

He appeared before Hatfield Remand Court this morning where he was remanded in custody to appear before St Albans Crown court on December 5.

Detectives have been investigating the incident in which a man was assaulted by a suspect, who was a man dressed as a woman.

Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, is leading the investigation.

She said: 'I would appeal to anyone who has any information about the incident, or anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area to please contact us.

'I would also ask anyone who may have been approached in similar circumstances to make contact with my team.

'Please be reassured any information will be treated with the utmost sensitivity and in the strictest confidence.'

Note how careful the reporter was to stress that this was a man dressed as a woman and use the appropriate pronouns.

That is weird. The cynic in me would say the sex of the victim is playing a role there

The no true Scotsman fallacy used to be common among TRAs whenever a sex offender was discussed. That has mostly fallen out of favor because it went against the newer ideology of identity being the most important thing to consider over any crimes or anything else at all.

Notice also that the victim is a straight male so there is an element of oppression validation where they probably can't place a "woman" below a straight male on the oppressionometer. It doesn't align with their inverted hierarchy if a "transwoman" victimizes a cishet.

Yeah, this might actually be the reason. Being trans is self reported. If this man hasn't said he's trans, he's still a “man in a woman's dress”.
