Words, Language and Alice in Wonderland
Under English law rape can only be committed with a penis. That means that 436 males, accused of rape, identified as women.

436 victims of male sexual violence, overwhelming women, were required to call their male rapist 'she' and 'her'. https://t.co/g1AN0aF80u
Two very different tweets which make the same telling point - words and language are taking on an Alice in Wonderland quality if women are required to call their male rapist 'she' and 'her'.
51% of the population are women. 49% are men. Of them, an estimated 0.2% are estimated to identify as trans. So how the actual fuck have we got so far down this linguistic rabbit hole? Why would we redefine centuries of science and its terminology for 0.2% of the population?
