A transgender woman has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a male partner by failing to disclose her gender status to him, meaning he could not consent to the sexual activity, British prosecutors said.

The T woman still had male genitalia and performed sex acts on the victim w/o disclosing the truth. They claimed to be a born woman on their period. This isn't about being trans, imo. It's about taking away the other person's ability to decide on engaging in sexual activity based on a lie.

If lying to partners was a criminal offence, pretty much everyone would be locked up.

Fucking gross. If anything, and I mean anything, this should be a civil matter not a criminal matter. And even that should be a stretch. Shame on the prosecutor and whomever brought the charges.

Yeah if I a woman wanted to hook up with another woman and she stuck a real penis in me without my knowledge that a real penis was even an option I'd be going to the police too. I'd feel raped.

I mean, I can't speak directly to that cause I'm not woman but that isn't what happened here. The man in this case wasn't penetrated in any way. From the article the trans woman didn't allow him to go below her waist And when he pursued her, after she blocked him mind you, she disclosed her genitals

If a woman had an sti and did not disclose this to a partner with whom she had sex, would it also be illegal in the same way or would said partner have been felt to have simply been prepared to 'take a chance". Or was this guy just embarrassed?????

What I don't understand is why 2 in some ways similar situations, as I outlined, should be treated differently....The whole trans debate leaves me cold but I don't understand the legal logic here

The difference is an sti represents actual harm, and a blow job does not.

spookybutkind.bsky.social @spookybutkind.bsky.social

I agree, but then you have to define what a partner is obligated to inform you about, and that discussion will take you to some ridiculous places unless you draw the line somewhere objective. Physical harm is where I would put it.

Chopperholic.〓〓 @chopperholic.bsky.social

Fair point. But I feel in this case the issue seems to be around consent given rather than the harm done. Lack of informed consent and a "thoughtless "sexual encounter could both lead to an STI or this guy's humiliation so why is this trans person before the courts? Weird....

Perhaps just telling your prospective partner? If you don't feel comfortable telling them then maybe you shouldn't be sleeping with them?
