Small-Scale Question Sunday for August 13, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I'd wonder: if a cis man is convicted of a sex crime and then suddenly "comes out" as a trans woman post-conviction, is the crime retroactively amended to indicate that it was committed by a trans woman? Or are they only so recorded if the perpetrator identified as a trans woman at the time they were convicted?
