Rape victim’s legal fight after transgender woman allowed to access female-only support group  | Daily Mail Online

The victim known only as ‘Sarah’ joined the Survivors’ Network in Brighton last year but says she felt shaken and upset after seeing ‘someone who appeared to be a man’ in one of the sessions.

fter filing her legal claim to Brighton County Court last Friday, Sarah told The Daily Telegraph: ‘It was really reluctantly that I brought this case. On the surface, it appears anti-feminist to challenge a rape crisis centre.’

However, she said that ‘hundreds’ of survivors have since contacted her saying they have had similar experiences when requesting female-only rape counselling.

‘I want to stress that we’re not looking for this instead of the mixed-sex women’s groups,’ she added. ‘It’s in addition. It seems like a really small ask for a supposedly trauma-informed rape crisis centre.’
