Regarding gender identity and sexual orientation
After reverting an edit just now, I see there have been several other instances of (mostly anonymous) editors removing "heterosexual" from the description "heterosexual trans woman" in the lead of this article. I'll assume good faith and offer the following explanation for the genuinely ignorant:
- Sexual orientation and gender identity are separate things.
- The shorthand is that sexual orientation is who you go to bed with, whereas gender identity as who you go to bed as.
- Just as cisgender people can be of any sexual orientation, transgender people can be as well.
- A heterosexual trans woman is a woman who was assigned male at birth and is exclusively or primarily attracted to men. Funcrunch (talk) 23:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
The UK’s CPS publishes updated 'deception as to sex' guidance
I think the UK section need to be updated. (Generally I think the trans panic defence merits an article of its own).
The UK’s CPS new charging guidance is being described by some as close to a trans panic law:https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/prosecutors-publish-updated-deception-sex-guidance
For example, in the recent stabbing of a trans teen who did not disclose her being trans, the reaction of some in internet forums such as mumsnet and Reddit are justifying the stabbing as a trans panic defence:
