UK law is weird. Technically they’re right. In UK rape is defined as:
(1) A person (A) commits an offence if—
(a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,
(b) B does not consent to the penetration, and
(c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
But as it is worded, especially the first top comment, it reads like defining rape.

Its a law setup to discriminate against LGBT+ couples by diminishing any rape comitted against them,
It isnt considerd ‘rape’ unless its man raping a women.
Another ‘quirk’ of the UKs system which has a 3% conviction rate for rape
Its one of those things where they know the situation is completely fucked up so they just change how they record it rather than address it.
