Aug 24, 2024, 01:54 AM

A former police officer in Spain has reportedly changed his legal sex to avoid harsher penalties for attempting to murder his wife and two daughters. This case has been described as 'trans fraud' and is the second such incident in less than two weeks. The individual was handed a 15-month jail sentence for assaulting his partner but avoided prison by changing his legal gender, thereby circumventing punishment for gender-based violence.
