UK Set to Ban Sex Criminals From Changing Their Names and Genders

Actually, the Law of God and Biology says they can't change their genders, but the UK will act to ban them from changing it officially by just filing Form 339 "I'm a Girl Now See" paperwork.

But there's a problem. The UK wants to crack down on people changing their names and genders to avoid having to sign up for a sex offender registry.

But apparently, if you're changing your gender because You're Really a Girl Now See, then the law... wouldn't apply?

Suella Braverman will announce today a lifetime ban on sex offenders changing their name and gender in an attempt to close a loophole that is allowing criminals to evade the sex offence register.

Details from other government agencies including HMRC, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) HM Passport Office and the DVLA will be merged with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

Any change in a known sex offender's details on any of those government agencies will alert the DBS and they will face prosecution, government sources told The Times.

The home secretary will use her speech at the Conservative party conference in Manchester to announce new legislation to introduce an outright ban on anyone convicted of a sex-related crime changing their identity, making it a new offence.

Currently, all registered sex offenders are required to notify their local police force within three days of changing their name. Failure to do so is a criminal offence but the onus is placed entirely on the offender to comply with the law.

Thousands of offenders are changing their name without notifying the police every year. Between January 2019 and June 2022, there were almost 12,000 prosecutions against people on the sex offence register who failed to alert authorities about a change in their personal information.

...

There are also legal hurdles that may still allow sex offenders to exploit loopholes.

There are concerns that any outright ban on changing their personal details would not be enforceable if an individual claims they are doing so on the basis of changing their gender or for religious purposes. Both reasons would be protected by the Equalities Act, government sources said.

What?

Aaron Walker notes that her speech warns of the danger of "going the way of San Francisco or Seattle."

So San Francisco and Seattle are now, officially, international jokes and cautionary tales.

She should have contrasted her plan with that of Washington State, which is going in the exact opposite direction, helping sex offenders hide in the general population and get jobs as caregivers for children.
