The CPS has completely caved to gender ideology

It would appear that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has finally caved completely to gender ideology. New CPS guidelines for prosecutors spell out that it could be a criminal offence for spouses to refuse to fund their partner’s gender surgery.

In the new guidance, the CPS has listed certain behaviours, such as ‘withholding money for transitioning’ that might be classed as coercive control. To put it in context, coercive control is a serious offence punishable by up to five years in prison.

I was one of the feminists that fought to get this aspect of domestic abuse recognised in law. For many years, female victims were told that certain behaviours amounting to coercive control – such as constant bullying, the monitoring of movement, withholding sleep, and constant humiliation and degradation – were not criminal offences.
