TRANSGENDERSo much wrong with this story. Woman fined for grabbing trans man’s “genitals” and asking if they were male or female.

"We've listened to all the evidence and whatever the motivation, or whatever the circumstances, touching somebody in their genital area is deemed a sexual assault."

Now to be fair, the case in question here is unquestionably qualifies as such. But touching whatever the circumstances qualifies? Bullshit.

I've been groped like that before and it wasn't sexual assault. Non-consensual? Perhaps. Someone has to make the first move though.

Circumstances absolutely do fucking matter. We want fucking "Do I have your written consent to touch your genitals" bullshit?

Frankly they need to have varying degrees of sexual assault in law as it covers too wide of a range of actions.

Every time any one has suggested separating murder, sexual assault and rape offences into bands/degrees they get shouted down without debate. The discussion of rape and sexual assault in particular has been thoroughly poisoned.

But at least the Tories are planning on sentencing Wolf whistlers to 2 years in custody.
