He looks 'gay' in the above photo and much better without the added fangs.

I reckon he's probably now become trans so he can wear a blonde wig and keep his head warm.

From a strictly armchair psychologist POV he probably is gay and this is the way he thinks best to “deal” with it, something I’ve found of those who come out at a later stage in life. Even the way he talks about his colleagues “how could I come out to a bunch of macho guys” suggests he never saw himself in that way and associates macho with men and not being macho means he thinks he must be a woman then.

Interesting, Baroness Nichol has been asked by a tweeter to find out and clarify the pat down rights of women.



Thread suggestions anyone?

He looks less terrifying in that photo, more genuine. Can’t put my finger on why, but I’d feel more comfortable approaching pc James than I would pc Skye.

Oh wow I thought the teeth were naturally like that but seeing the before photo it’s obvious they’ve been filed. Terrifying! I suspect divorce was because of a porn addiction.

I think exactly the same. In the picture as a man he looks like he might be a nice guy (and maybe he is). I feel bad saying this but with the wig and pointed teeth he just looks plain scary. It just looks like mental illness to me. I know a lot of people would say I'm wrong for suggesting that but that is my gut reaction.

Prime contender for #NotOurCrimes. Of course this will be reported as a 'female' crime of violence.

I get confused between this board and the gender discussion one (same people on both it seems!) but wherever we were discussing Tavi v Bell - permission to appeal has been refused, 10 grounds of appeal put forward and none successful!

I hate that their idea of dressing as women is looking like cheap prostitutes.

It reminds me of a video Magdalen Berns made, commenting on a documentary about a stylist who specialises in working with transwomen to help them look more feminine. The stylist said that basically all her clients wear too much pink, glitter, lace, ruffles, sparkles etc. when they start working with her

That's always the way. Most women I know wear jeans and stuff like that. Men who dress as women always choose a really stereotyped, often quite old fashioned style. They stand out a mile.

True, they either look like strippers or wear turtle necks and long kilts and look like Anne Widdecombe. Bizarre.

Bloody hell they look rough. I'd cross the street to avoid them
They got off lightly that's for sure.

What really stands out to me here is their description of having to always be alert, because people on the street are hateful towards them.

I mean, I’m not saying it’s right, but if you truly want to “live like a woman”, you’ll always have to be alert in public. You’ll have to deal with random comments on your appearance, sexually-charged insults, fear of strangers, worrying about violence and rape.

Quite ironic really that they’re in the tabloids telling this story as if street harrassment of women is a brand new issue. Also quite interesting how they’re being given lots of column inches to cover their mea culpa, but the usual articles about women harrassed on the street are mocked. Male privilege doesn’t disappear when you put on a dress and a wig.

Fascinating how they reacted in such a male way also, isn’t it? I’ve not yet heard of a group of women battering the hell out of a man who said something nasty to them in public.

Has anyone got confirmation on what sex their crime will be recorded under?

Just catching up on this tread. Regarding the police officer of me thinks all the photos (on the DM article) of someone who so obviously doesn’t pass is maybe deliberate and a bit cruel? I know there are real concerns about pat downs ect.

It's definitely deliberate, yeah. The concerns are valid but they love stoking the ire of their conservative readership who think the real problem is that "men should be MANLY and not dress like women, political correctness etc. etc." I remember about ten years ago even before trans people became such a contentious issue in the press, the Daily Mail were criticised for repeatedly publishing provocative articles about an MTF police officer who'd won a discrimination suit against the Metropolitan Police
