I’ll be referring to McNally as female from here on out because that appears to be how she currently identifies. As the court ruling put it, though, she had a history of “self-harm” and “confusion surrounding her gender identity and sexuality.” McNally also told police that she took on the identity of Scott online — at the pivotal age of 13 — “because it made her more comfortable,” according to the ruling. Regardless of how McNally identifies, this case could be significant for those who identify as transgender — as well as those who are exploring their gender and sexuality. That’s because it sets a possible precedent in the U.K. for prosecuting people for failing to announce before a sexual encounter the gender they were assigned at birth.

Matt Kailey, author of “Just Add Hormones: An Insider’s Guide to the Transsexual Experience,” points out the potential challenges that could arise. He asks, “What happens if a person who does not identify as ‘trans’ in any way is accused of being so … because his penis is too small for his sexual partner’s tastes or her breasts are too small or not the right shape for her sexual partner’s tastes? What about a person whose genitals do not meet the ‘standard’ appearance that society expects for male and female genitalia?”

This case also brings up dystopian images of couples breaking out pre-coital legal contracts that map out their every sequence of DNA. Jennifer Finney Boylan, a director of GLAAD, tells me, “What else do people want before falling in love, a birth certificate and a set of fingerprints?”
