"Fog on Guernsey" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

In the late summer months of 1883, Renoir enjoyed a brief visit on island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands where he painted approximately fifteen pictures of the area surrounding Moulin Huet Bay.

OK, what with the coronation coming up, I've seen quite a few posts about the UK, by people who don't quite understand the difference between the UK, Great Britain, England and so on.

Which is fair enough, because it is a bit complicated.

So here's some explanation.

The British Isles is a whole bunch of islands, but the main ones are those two big ones, Great Britain and Ireland.

Great Britain is divided into three countries: England, Scotland and Wales.

The island of Ireland is also divided. The northeastern six counties make up Northern Ireland, which is also sometimes referred to as Ulster, although the traditional province of Ulster is somewhat larger.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make up the larger country of the United Kingdom, a sovereign state. The full name of the state is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but that's a bit of a mouthful, so generally it's the United Kingdom or the UK.

"Britain" can be used to mean either the island of Great Britain or the UK as a whole. Anyone from the UK is a British national (a Briton or Brit), although many Scots, Northern Irish, and some Welsh don't describe themselves as British because of their political position. There's a strong Scottish independence movement, and the situation in Ireland is complicated, to say the least.

It's very important to remember that England is not the same as Britain, Great Britain or the UK. It is merely part of it. A lot of people use England interchangeably with the broader terms, but this is wrong. Try going to Scotland and saying it's part of England and see how long it takes to get a smack in the face.

The rest of Ireland is an entirely separate country, a sovereign state in its own right. Its official name is simply Ireland, but it's often referred to by its official description, the Republic of Ireland (RoI) for clarity. It can also be called by its Irish name, Eire.

It's not unheard of for the Republic to be referred to as Southern Ireland, but this can cause a lot of offence, and in any case, it's by far the larger part of Ireland and actually reaches further north than Northern Ireland.

King Charles III has the title of King of the United Kingdom. The title King of England is archaic and hasn't actually been used for centuries. He is the sovereign of the UK and has nothing to do with RoI.

There are lots of smaller islands that are part of any of the five countries above, but there are also some more islands just to be confusing.

The Channel Islands aren't even in the map above, because they're closer to France, but they're often grouped in with the British Isles. The largest two, Jersey and Guernsey, are separate countries (Guernsey has some even smaller islands within its territory). They're what's left of the ancient Duchy of Normandy. There's also the Isle of Man, also called Mann, between Great Britain and Ireland.

These three are NOT part of the UK. They are Crown Dependencies, which means they essentially belong to the King, but have seperate governments. The UK has sovereignty over them though, and is responsible for their defence and representation internationally.

The UK and the Crown Dependencies are also legally known as the British Islands (not Isles, as this includes all of Ireland), but no one really uses this except in important international treaty stuff.

See? Perfectly straightforward...

Another member of an "oppressed" group getting a light sentence for a violent crime

By Natasha Biase October 30, 2023

Several months after a Guernsey Royal Court jury unanimously found a 19-year-old trans-identified male guilty of rape, the court has announced that Freddie Christian Trenchard, also known as Alyssa Christine Trenchard, has been sentenced to three years at a youth detention centre.

As previously reported by Reduxx, Trenchard, who began identifying as a woman three years ago, assaulted his victim after inviting her to his home in the summer of 2021.

Despite the victim testifying that she cried and screamed “no” during the attack, Trenchard’s defense lawyer argued that no intercourse had occurred and even accused the victim of being motivated by transphobia.

Trenchard’s July conviction hearing was attended by Guernsey Women’s Rights Network representative Jane Roper, who informed Reduxx that the court referred to the rapist by “she/her” pronouns. Roper added that the assault was described as “having been committed by a transgender female with her penis.”

“The judge sent a message asking the defendant what he would like to be described as, and then actually apologized to him and told the court that Trenchard would like to be described as a ‘transgender female.’ In her opening statements, the judge said the alleged crime occurred ‘when the defendant was biologically male,'” Roper previously told Reduxx.

Describing how shocking it was to witness the legal system affirm a violent criminal, Roper added: “It was a truly bizarre experience to witness the court jumping through hoops for this man. As a woman, that felt really shocking, especially as we had all sat through the complainant’s harrowing oral evidence detailing the rape.”

Speaking with Reduxx, the media representative for the Guernsey Police confirmed that Trenchard was recorded as a “woman” at the time of his arrest, in accordance with his gender identity.

Although Trenchard, who refers to himself as “trans femme,” was released back into the community until sentencing was issued, ITV has reported that he was handed a three-year sentence followed by three years of probation. Trenchard will be placed on the sex offender registry and “is subject to notification requirements” for the next ten years.

The judge on the case, Judge Catherine Fooks explained that: “Those who commit rape can expect to go to prison and to have long orders made against them.”

A still from a now-private TikTok video in which Trenchard mimed being sexually aroused while being addressed as “miss.”

“Your actions have had and will continue to have a lifelong impact on your victim,” she added.

As a result of the sentencing, prosecutors confirmed that they were planning to appeal Trenchard’s three-year sentence, calling it “unduly lenient.” No date for the hearing has been set.

The English Channel island of Guernsey has a population of only 64,000 people and an extremely low violent crime rate. There is only one prison on the island where both males and females are detained.

Although there are currently only three women and 71 men serving time at the facility in separate wards, the prison’s governor, John De Carteret, admitted that the institution “has accommodated trans prisoners previously” and has established protocol in place to accommodate transgender individuals.

“Where a prisoner expresses that they identify as a gender that is different to the sex they were assigned at birth, we instigate a Transgender Care Board to review all relevant information before decisions are made,” he said.

“Each offender is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and an appropriate assessment of risk is paramount for the management of individuals who are transgender … We would not accommodate a preoperative trans prisoner in a prison location that is not consistent with the sex they were assigned at birth.”

While Trenchard lists his gender as “female” on social media, often posting videos on TikTok using hashtags such as “#trans and #transisbeautiful,” he has also admitted that he is sexually aroused by being called “miss,” which the court referred to him as during the trial at his request.
