A trans identifying man who assaulted three cops avoided community service because he told the court he feels unsafe in a mixed sex group. "Victoria Barany, 34, who lives in a female-only hostel"... What about how safe those women feel? @DerryBanShee in @TheSun

I think I amused @Jacob_Rees_Mogg when I suggested he might be a weekend cross dresser 🤣 But this is serious. The government is planning on rolling out digital identity based on corrupted sex data from 🛂 passports 🪪 driving licenses 🏥 medical records
'The Government is sleep walking into something like a post office Horizon scandal.' Chief Executive of Sex Matters Maya Forstater explains how digital-ID could facilitate gender self-identification through the back door.

Great to see this by @SexMattersOrg covered ‘Gender’ is a word that confuses and misleads. The government could spend billions on an ID project that allows people to lie about their most fundamental identifying characteristic. It should be made clear. https://t.co/pmCJUKNLun

@MForstater said " Government’s digital ID plans are 'doomed to fail’ unless it accurately records ‘sex’ rather than ‘gender identity’ ...It doesn’t take much imagination to understand the risks, such as people using a quick gender change (or two) to hide their identity . . .
