He added that people should be free to describe themselves however they like, but went on: 'In cases of serious sexual offending when public protection is at stake the vast majority of people will rightly expect the criminal justice system to deal in facts and nothing more." In other words law enforcement and new media should respect that gender is a feeling but sex is real.
Crime tsar says his own force is 'clearly wrong' for calling trans sex crime suspect a woman - and sends 'male' 51-year-old to a men's prison

A crime tsar has become involved in a row with his own force after issuing a rare rebuke over its gendering of a trans sex crime suspect.
Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Barber said Thames Valley Police was 'clearly wrong' when it relied on gender self-ID to call Osareen Omoruyi, charged with two counts of sexual assault against a child, a woman in a press release.
In a highly unusual intervention in a live criminal case, the elected Police and Crime Commissioner said the 51-year-old 'is male' and has been remanded to a male prison.
He wrote in a lengthy statement on his website on Sunday: 'Thames Valley Police have, mistakenly in my view, relied on the 'self-described gender' in publishing a press release that incorrectly states that a woman has been charged with these offences.'
He said it was important that the public and potential victims understand the facts and that statistics about sexual offences are accurate.

'The police and other criminal justice agencies must deal in facts, as best evidenced to them at the time. Any failure to do so risks damaging public confidence and overshadowing excellent policing in the interests of public safety,' Mr Barber wrote.
He added that people should be free to describe themselves however they like, but went on: 'In cases of serious sexual offending when public protection is at stake the vast majority of people will rightly expect the criminal justice system to deal in facts and nothing more.
'The accused in this case, Osareen Omoruyi, is a 51 year old male.'
However he added that the operational response by the force had been 'exemplary'.
The incident in Witney town centre, Oxfordshire, on Wednesday evening was spotted by CCTV operators, directing officers immediately to 'safeguard the child and arrest the suspect'.
Mr Barber spoke out after the force he scrutinises issued a statement titled: 'Woman charged in connection with sexual offences.'
The short press release published on Friday, which was condemned by women's rights campaigners, stated: 'Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a woman has been charged in connection with sexual offences in Witney.'

The force said that Omoruyi, of Witney, had been charged 'with two counts each of sexual assault by penetration and causing/ inciting a child to engage in sexual activity'.
Last night the force hit back, saying claimed it had been following the law and police guidelines by treating the suspect according to their self-described gender.
It said: 'Thames Valley Police is aware some public concern has been shared on social media following the publication of our charge release on Friday in relation to a sexual offences investigation in Witney.
'Thames Valley Police adheres to the law and the codes of practice, including the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) Code C, when establishing the gender of a person in our custody.
'The individual identified as a female and the officers treated them as such in accordance with College of Policing Authorised Professional Practice which outlines that officers should treat the person according to their stated preference. Consequently, our charge press release that was published reflected this position.'
The force added: 'The Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Barber has raised concerns about the press release and his comments are being carefully considered and reviewed by the force.'

When asked if the victim was raped Steed replied "the video shows someone who appears to be female presenting, so that’s why we left the gender out. Because we weren’t really sure how this person identifies—we didn’t want to get it wrong.”
He also said “The suspect we believe does have a pen" 🤦‍♀️

A trans-identified male in Witney, England, has been charged with child sexual offenses following the alleged assault of a teen boy. Osareen Omoruyi, 51, was charged on February 9 with two counts each of sexual assault by penetration and causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Multiple news outlets reporting on the charges have failed to mention that the suspect is male and identifies as transgender, and have instead referred to Omoyuri simply as a “woman.”

The Metro Vancouver Transit Police say they “don’t know” if the primary suspect in a skytrain sexual assault is male or female despite having recovered semen during the investigation.
On February 8, the Transit Police issued a press release pleading for help to identify the suspect. While photos and videos showed what appeared to be a male with long hair, some basic information on the suspect was curiously omitted from the release. No pronouns were used, and no information on the suspect’s sex was included.
In a recorded phone call with journalist Amy Hamm, Constable Amanda Steed said the information had been intentionally left out because the Transit Police were unsure of how to refer to the suspect.
“We’ve left it out for a reason; it’s because we don’t know. The video evidence shows someone who… would appear female, who is female presenting, but the physical evidence is that of a genetic male,” Steed said. She later confirmed in an email to Reduxx that the physical evidence is in fact the suspect’s semen. 
Despite claiming that the Transit Police “didn’t know” what the sex of the suspect was, Steed admitted that they “believe” he has a penis.
“The suspect we believe does have a penis,” said Steed, when asked if the victim was raped. “But the video shows someone who appears to be female presenting, so that’s why we left the gender out. Because we weren’t really sure how this person identifies—we didn’t want to get it wrong.”
