Lee Jon Baker (39), who was born a woman but is currently undergoing gender realignment, hurled the water at his partner as he was lying semi-naked on a bed.
The 53-year-old suffered burns to his abdomen, groin, left buttock and genitals and is likely to be left scarred.
The Royal Court yesterday heard that Baker, formerly known as Tara Baker and Tara Scott, carried out the attack in his partner’s flat in the early hours of 5 February after a night of drinking.
