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

Many of the comments on the Oxford Mail website are pointing out he's a man.

It is! I also think it makes a very difficult topic about gender identity even more philisophicaly difficult. It was a savage act of brutality carried out by a deeply troubled individual.

@Thisisnotarehearsal I just don't believe the press any more. If I read that a woman has done something vanishingly unlikely, like indecent exposure or sexual assault, then unless there is conclusive evidence that it's a woman, I assume it's a man.

I must thank you for this thread @ArabellaScott

I cannot believe I was so naive, but when I read about this I was shocked it was perpetrated by a woman. It wasn't until I saw your thread that I realised that of course it is a man. Yet another violent sadistic one. There's plenty about. Look how many kill their partners in the UK every single week.

I am sick to death of our media and politicians lying to us.

Crime statistics should only be recorded by biological sex and I couldn't give a single shiny shit if that hurts the feelings of some cellar dwelling TRA who hates women because they can't get laid. Women are at risk from men who commit more violent acts. The only immorality around that is the people trying to obscure the facts around male violence without considering the impact on their victims.

And no I absolutely will not be kind to anyone who dares to appropriate womanhood or puts women at risk by suggesting men should be in their spaces.

The victim was one of triplets. So sad that the family are still showing this man the respect of his preferred pronouns when he couldn't even respect their brother's life.

Mr Carreno's two brothers read a statement to the court and said the extent of their grief was "impossible to express".

"We were triplets, born together, grew up together - we were best friends. Jorge lit up any place, he was always spreading joy. He was, above all, a good person," they said.

"Scarlet Blake has shown no remorse for her actions, making it even more difficult to process. She has taken the life of Jorge for her own sexual pleasure. It is deeply disturbing to know."

Reading a tribute to the court, Mr Carreno's mother, Carmen, added: "Jorge was not only an exemplary child but also an exceptional being.
"This loss feels like a traumatic, devastating blow, leaving a void impossible to fill. Going through the pain of losing a son, a brother, under such tragic and unjustified circumstances, is a trial no family should face. Today his absence leaves a deep wound in our hearts."
In his closing remarks, Mr Justice Chamberlain said the Carreno family had sat through the trial "with impressive dignity".

Yes, Reddit is ridiculous and misogynistic.

I see that almost all of the 40+ comments underneath were deleted… There are clearly plenty of TRAs on Reddit who are ready to report “hateful” (factual) posts.

On the older one, the main thing that's got through is someone saying that they are relieved he's being held in a male prison, snd then someone asks (possibly disingenuously) why a woman would be in a male prison. Why indeed.

Not a single message on that new Reddit thread yet, @Ereshkigalangcleg . I’ll be amazed if anything meaningful makes it past moderation.

The TV reporting is less explicit from what I've seen. One BBC report on Friday didn't mention the trans identity at all and just called him a woman.

Just had a look! Gaps all over the place where messages have been deleted 🙄

The BBC is finally mentioning that Wang is transgender in today’s coverage: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-68401335

The sentence will be served in a male prison.

Their earlier thread is completely Swiss cheese

The thread has been put under the "moderated flair" rules for "AMAs, 'debate arbitration', Q&As, but mostly related to anticipated Content Policy problems given our experience of such in the past".

"The flaring means some, or all, comments will be immediately hidden. Whether they are approved to show or not depends on the aim desired during the submission"

Which doesn't sound like very free comment to me.

Might be the American. Also Trans

I'm surprised that Blake's minimum sentence to be served is only 24 years. It seems very lenient for the murder of a stranger, and Blake is clearly a sadist who gets sexual pleasure from killing. If he hadn't been caught after this murder, I'm sure it wouldn't have been his last.

Described in court as a "girlfriend" but given the context and the lies promulgated in this case, a person of unknown biological sex.

Who's Evie Brockman?

I think you have a fair point , I also think its an unimportant issue in this particular conversation. When the real point is the heinous murder a young man and the torture and mutalation of a living creature just for Jollies, I will be interested to see if this meat sack will be sent to a male or female prison, I am a libitarian I have no real phillisophical problem with poeple being what they want to be or for that matter how they identify, I also think if you avail your self of those freedoms. You have a duty to understand you have a to follow the law and an eqaul duty to be mindfull of poeple who are biologicly female or male thats just simple decency we all make concessions in life.

I wonder when the cat’s family realised why their cat had disappeared. Presumably someone had to inform them, when the videos and trophies were found.
