Good job she didn't tweet a misgendered tweet about her attacker. She'd be booked for commiting a non-crime hate crime.

At least the police response would've been faster. 🤪

Seriously though, wtf is going on in this world? The courts and police services need a serious shake-up regarding this gender identity nonsense. Has self-id been written into law yet? If not, how are they getting away with identifying a suspect as a woman when it's actually a man, and in all likelihood has no GRC?

I’m fucking incandescent with rage. Beautifully written, JL. Women are no longer a priority according to the Met and London is a very dangerous place with no guaranteed protection for the female sex, especially from TIMs.

Thank you, Ms Growler. Yes, it's enraging, isn't it? The police took three days to turn up. You can bet if there'd been a misgendering incident the whole effing station would've been out in force.

The problem is that women will be looking out/wary of fellow females reading the police/media reports. It also plays into the MRA that women are as violent as men. The police do this copiously, frequently arresting women in domestic violence for the crime of defending themselves which the police log as co aggression. This is how they've massaged the dv figures up to 40% of domestic abusers are women ...

If there is ever an "enquiry" into why women suddenly became more violent, you can bet the self-id debacle will barely get a mention.

Is that right? I've often wondered about that particular statistic.

They tried this with me when my ex attacked me and the neighbour called them reporting they could hear our child shouting no daddy no. Said a scratch on his arm was evidence that the violence had been mutual. I then asked them to tell me what he'd told them and then pointed out that none of the physical evidence fitted his story, whilst it fitted mine that he'd thrown a glass at me whilst I was hanging out washing, then thrown his boots at me, a coffee table and then pinned me on the bed whilst repeatedly punching me in the head. I reminded them that under UK law, someone being attacked has the right to use comensurate violence to defend themselves/get away from an attack and a scratch is way less than being repeatedly punched in the head, kicked in the back and having tables/boots/glasses thrown at you. If I hadn't been used to holding my own in a professional environment, knew the law and 40 years old, they would have arrested me as a fellow perpetrator. That's what they started off threatening. I tried to complain and the police kept me waiting in Streatham police station for 4 hours and refused to take my complaint. Then the IPCC said I hadn't complained within the time frame and the police had no recollection of me visiting the station, despite the fact I had handed paperwork in for a hit and run against me that went to court on the same visit which was date stamped as being received at the station on that day. The police and judiciary have a very very discriminatory attitude towards women reporting male violence which is why the conviction rates for Dom Abuse/Rape rates are 1.6% and why family court repeatedly violates basic human rights legislation and awards the children to the male if a woman speaks out about domestic abuse or sexist violence from men. Our children are taken hostage by the courts and its all done in secret to 'protect' the child. Social services are in on this scam too. I was told by a senior male social worker that all my evidence of 17 years of domestic abuse was self generated/reported and that I might well have broken my own ribs etc to frame my ex. I haven't seen my child for 2 years now as ex stopped contact on a series of fake allegations that my home was unsafe/overcrowded and family court has refused a fact finding/refused to get a heavily coerced child a guardian, school and social services state that unless the child reports coercive control herself, they don't have to do anything and she's too scared/brainwashed by him to do so as she now thinks reporting domestic abuse is an abuse of him. The last 2 years have been hell and police are refusing to act on his post separation abuse as they say family court will deal with it whilst family court state that they dont have to acknowledge criminal behaviour if the police choose not to be involved. Its a self perpetuating cycle of violence, state sanctioned and why women don't leave abusive relationships as the state will punish you by taking your kids and giving them to the abuser, all done in secret.

there you go. That's exactly it. the MRA drivel that has also captured institutions though on the sly. THIS is why they are supporting it, the MRA whiners.

Honestly - ordinary police officers will be finding this stuff as unpalatable as we do but they are under orders from above who are captured by Stonewall. I know of one male officer in Leicester who dressed as a WPC during the day, had access to female changing facilities and lived as a married male person at home. AGP in full view. Female officers who complained were silenced. He still works as a police officer.

Bloody hell, that's appalling. And OF COURSE his poor female colleagues didn't get a say in whether or not they wanted a hulking great bloke with bollocks hanging out of his thong cavorting around the locker room while they were half-naked. Diversity, innit?

Think about any woman/girl who has been attacked and THIS man turns up to supposedly help them. Double trauma.

Three fucking days to show up?!? Perhaps women are better off putting an Adult Human Female sticker on a lamppost rather than call 999. You can guarantee an immediate response then.

Fuck's sake. I am apoplectic with rage.

If the first victim had been responded to, would the other three victims have been spared the trauma? The violent person would have been detained. The attacker was permitted to roam around for an hour, stalking the woman who he had just attempted to murder. Do the other victims have legal recourse? (I am pronoun fluid: If he identified as a male and was indulging in male pattern behavior at the time of the assaults, then "he" seems a more appropriate pronoun.} The problem with the charge is that they list him as a woman, rather than the more accurate "female impersonator" or male who when faced with the penalty for his behavior decides to hide behind a woman's skirts. If you do the crime, you gotta do the time, and you need to do it in the same self-identified gender you were when you did the crime.

Not only has this person changed sex, but also age as he was reported by the attacked women as being in his 20's I think. I read it and wondered if it was his mum who'd been arrested for maybe being an accessory to his crimes. Do we yet know what actually happened? It shows perfectly how pointless it will be for the police to give out any information beyond 'a person committed an alleged crime against someone else'. Lots of us no longer have any faith in anything the police say. This is just such a mess that, if what we all think turns out to be true, we may see the 'Hubbard Effect' we are getting from the new of Gavin/Laurel going to the Olympic games. As in 'WTAF'????

I used to live in East Dulwich, which once upon a time actually had a police station down the road from where these attacks took place. No longer.

We won’t know the details until it turns up in court. Expect it to be reported as crimes committed by a woman though!

And will the witnesses be forced to refer to the violent male as “she”?

Expand full comment

I hope the women stand up to this if it ever gets to court. I absolutely wouldn't refer to a man as 'she' in court, whatever they threatened me with. Scenario: you'd be in the witness stand, swear the oath on the holy book of choice or affirm that you will tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth and then immediately be told to lie. How is this not perjury? I think this stuff comes from 'The Equal Treatment Bench Book' (authored by some woke outfit) and I do not see why it should apply to anyone who isn't on the bench, i.e. witnesses.

Yes, I think the forces of law and order have been well and truly captured by Stonewall, et al. But they're losing their grip. And I genuinely believe incidents like this will be their undoing.
