This is untrue. Every human being has evolved to determine the sex of other human beings in seconds, if not quicker.
All mammals can for very obvious reasons. You’re pretending that evolution doesn’t apply to you; we can distinguish men from women.
It’s the ‘Misogynists Bill’.

Yes.
Thanks to evolution. And if you think you can’t it’s either because you’re ideologically captured or….
It’s just because you’re ideologically captured.

KC, in contrast to some of the deliberate misinformation doing the rounds.
Also worth reading interview from Baroness Kennedy, a lifelong advocate for women's rights who led the working group on misogyny.
This may be an unpopular view, but if the misogyny bill is going to have an aggravation for misogyny then logically it will have to be capable of applying to trans women, if the evidence supports the inference that the offender did in fact perceive the complainer as female. 1/

Baroness Kennedy’s report clearly recommended that the proposed offences in a misogyny bill should apply where the victims are ‘women or those who perpetrators perceive to be women’ this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse that is motivated by prejudice.

If a man threatens to rape a woman, he is unlikely to know if the victim is born a woman or a trans woman.
That behaviour should logically be seen as misogynistic. Again, this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse motivated by prejudice. This is not new.
