Re: Should Trans People Have to Disclose Their Birth Gender Before Sex?
Done a bit of research into this, and the original case was tried under Scots law, which applies to Scotland only and not the whole United Kingdom.
Secondly, McNally was released on appeal after 82 days on the basis that the original sentence had been too harsh; this didn't of course affect the finding in law that she was guilty.
Thirdly, I'm a fan of the journalist involved, Paris Lees, who is one of the sparkiest and most articulate campaigners for trans rights in the UK - she was recently named the most influential person in The Independent newspaper's annual pink list of LGBT people and also appeared as the first trans person on the BBC's weekly public debate programme Question Time. It's very unusual for her to be so careless.

Re: Should Trans People Have to Disclose Their Birth Gender Before Sex?
Are you sure Robert and could you prove a link? The physical offence was committed in England and the original trial was in the Crown Court in Wood Green, north London. I am not aware of cases of criminal law in Scotland being referred to appeal in an English court, although the Supreme Court does have jurisdiction over the whole of the UK in civil law matters. I do think that the original sentence was harsh, as other posters have also noted.
