To be angry that Scarlet Blake is being called a woman.

I feel the same but have also logged a complaint.

The murderer must go into a male prison. Any intact m2f transgender must not be in a prison with women. The Home Secretary needs to instruct all prison governors of this.

That BBC article should have had a content warning. I wish I hadn't seen those gruesome details and felt sickened. They're rather more careless with my sensitivities than they are with selected others.

It's a badly written article and not just because the unnamed author does not know how to spell disdain. The lie of reporting a male criminal to be a woman is blatant and cruel. And it's amplified in a bold heading and link underneath the article:.

"From other local news sites

Woman, 26, GUILTY of murdering Jorge Carreno "
...
Then we are informed "...and came out to her parents as transgender at 12."
Stick the word 'transgender' on a child or assert that a child can 'come out as', as if it is something that the child is. It's slipperiness with language. What does the writer think the 'trans' in 'transgender' signifies? It not just a free-floating arrangement of letters. How does the BBC justify using the term? There has to be something behind attributing that to a child. But what? I think we should be told because otherwise we might believe it is taking an ideological position and feeding us a line.

I heard about this as a woman committing the crime and thought how strange. Now I know why.

I have no issue with Scarlett being referred to as a transgender woman or the female pronouns being used for her. I think the press (and judge) are right to report in this way. It is a basic respect shown to all transgender people.

It's complete and utter disrespect for all women. This person lost the right to the polite fiction of 'woman' or 'she' when he torturously killed that poor cat and murdered a human. What 'respect' is this man due?

I've complained to the BBC. I am bloody angry about this. The lying cowards.

I am annoyed that the BBC complaints demands your email address, name, home address, and phone number in order to place a complaint against a service WE FEKKEN WELL PAY FOR.

But I have registered a complaint.

I'm 61. It comes as a shock to me, over the past few years, the extent to which the BBC has lost its way.

But please put in a complaint.

Bbc News South Today just now gave absolutely no hint that Scarlet was anything other than a woman.
I am so bloody angry.

This actually really upsets me. I’d read previous stories and having not seen any photos believed it was a woman. I thought it was very unusual but didn’t question. Now I realise I have been duped. I’m fucking livid frankly. Where will this end?

Fucking furious that the media are choosing to fawn over this convicted murderer with his preferred pronouns rather than get behind the women who are saying, "He's not ours, we don't want him."

The courts, police, cps, prison and probation services will not have him recorded as a woman. While they tend to use people's preferred pronouns just for politeness the assessment of risk presented by any individual and the location at which they are held is very much linked to biological sex.

Cat killer gender. Rapist gender. Oh the coyness and the cowardice.

Well said, totally agree with this.

The graun, inevitably, respecting murderers preferences. Refers to a previous female name but not the name that this person would be known to authorities as

Meanwhile they have no problem with slut shaming and dead naming when it's the right hate figure

The Times has changed the headline so it’s no longer ‘woman’ but ‘cat killer’. Honestly

I don’t want men’s crimes attributed to women. With what other “minority” group would it be ok to blame the minority knowing full well that they were not responsible.

Sex not gender.

“Blake who was born male but now identifies as female” or similar near the top of the article would cover it.

…and the crime should be recorded as male crime because it is.
Or if that is too problematic “crimes committed by men that identify as female” would also cover it.

This is absolutely disgraceful. It should be made very clear in news reports that Scarlet Blake is transgender. This is another case of trans 'rights' superseding women's rights. This person wants to identify as female and we must all oblige, despite the fact that they're a sadistic murderer. Statistics show that women rarely commit violent crimes. It's frightening to see that the BBC is untrustworthy. I bet this person is placed in a women's prison, it's utterly shameful.

Same, so bloody disappointed in them.

Just read the article in the Times, all she / her and only mention to being transgender is that they were previously known as Alice. Trying to work out how to cancel my subscription, looks like I need to call them up tomorrow, absolutely fuming

It has become apparent that there are an increasing number of violent criminals who are hiding behind the mask of womanhood with insidious agendas. These people are manipulating the general public and by reporting on them using their own narrative, the BBC and other broadcasters/journalists become complicit in that.

Society is effectively being gaslighted into believing that the right of a small minority to hijack a gender identity to further their own nefarious means, supersedes the rights of the majority.

Blake also identified as a cat sometimes. Why isn't the media respecting his right to be called a cat? Why isn't his crime being recorded as being committed by a cat? Why aren't all the pronoun-respecters also honouring his right to be referred to as a cat? I'm not being facetious; if you think this person is a woman then don't you dare try to wriggle out of recognising he is also a cat. Own your ridiculousness.

None of the articles even seem to have the guts to explicitly say that the perpetrator was born a man. Saying that at least would bring some clarity to this charade. It's scary how quickly it has become acceptable to perform this deception on the general public. The lobbyists have really performed miracles.

The truth matters and that is that. There's something actually humiliating and sinister about being lied to in this way and just being expected to keep quiet about it. It feels like an attack on integrity itself.

Aside from that, we need to know the objective facts about crimes in order to understand them and prevent or solve them in the future.

This crime was committed by a man, a man with a warped fantasy about being a female serial killer. Every media organisation describing this man as a woman is showing their willingness to degrade women as nothing beyond a man's fetish.

I wonder how the victim's family feel about Blake being described throughout as a woman while knowing if that were true the chances of this crime happening or being successful are incredibly small?
