Let’s start with the facts, shall we?
A former Conservative MP has been given a community order and fined for harassing his ex-wife.
Jamie Wallis, who now wishes to be called Katie Wallis (sighs) and who uses female pronouns (sighs some more!), represented the constituency of Bridgend in Wales from 2019 to 2024. Here he is at that time.
At an earlier hearing, the 41-year-old from Butetown in Cardiff (there’s a joke in there, somewhere) denied harassing Rebecca Wallis, now known as Rebecca Lovell, between 14 February and 21 March. Wallis was sentenced to a 12-month community order involving 12 days of rehabilitation activity and fined £500 plus £650 costs and a £114 surcharge. A restraining order was also imposed for 12 months to prevent contact with Rebecca Lovell.
So ends the tale of Britain’s first trans MP.
The details of the case are horrendous
The former MP made unwanted phone calls, sent unwanted messages and a voice note. Cardiff Magistrates Court heard that the messages contained abusive language while accusing Rebecca Lovell of being “mean” and seeking to find out details about her new relationship. A message demanded £350,000 within 15 minutes and wished to ensure that Wallis’s former wife and others “never have a happy moment again”.
Furthermore;
His Defence KC told the court that “her” client was “having profound and emotional difficulties in completing the passing stage” of transitioning to become a woman, but accepts that the behaviour was “wrong”.
This is surreal. The Supreme Court makes it clear that your birth sex is your sex until death and that you cannot change it. No one can “transition” apart from rationality to insanity and that seems close to what happened here.
