Scottish Parliament public petition on recording sex accurately in cases of rape or attempted rape

“If the male who self-identifies as a woman were to attempt to or to penetrate the vagina, anus or mouth of a victim with their penis, Police Scotland would record this as attempted rape or rape and the male who self-identifies as a woman would be expected to be recorded as a female on relevant police systems”

I'd think not GillT57 as the definition of rape is that it was committed with a penis.

It's completely ridiculous, though, that there is even any doubt about this.

** To all : Please consider signing the petition in the OP, if you haven't already done so.
