It turns out that Isla Bryson, the trans woman accused of "raping two women with her penis", is the one who's really suffering here:

A transgender woman accused of rape was “in no way a predatory male”, her lawyers have said.

But prosecutors insist Isla Bryson, who is alleged to have raped two women: one in Clydebank in 2016; and one in Drumchapel, Glasgow, in 2019; “preyed” on vulnerable women.

A court previously heard in agreed evidence that Bryson identifies as a transgender woman, but was previously known by the “dead name” Adam Graham.

Giving evidence herself, Bryson, 31, told the court that she knew she was transgender at the age of four but did not make the decision to transition until she was 29, and is currently taking hormones and seeking surgery to complete gender reassignment.

She said in 2016 she was “struggling with my sexuality and having issues emotionally”.

Defending at the High Court in Glasgow, Edward Targowski KC, described the three main witnesses in the trial as “vulnerable”, adding: “And that includes Isla Bryson.” …

Mr Targowski spoke about Bryson’s gender, saying: “She is transitioning from male to female gender.

“That is the position.

“If you accept that evidence, that she is transitioning, that she is aiming to continue on that path to becoming female gender, that goes a long way to acquitting her of these charges.”

Nice. Playing the trans card.

Update: it didn't wash. The man was found guilty.
