If these people are indeed of the xy sex class it is bloody chilling that trans is not being used. So much for a free press, and for the right to speak truth.

I wonder what the victim thinks.

That's disgraceful Luna it puts women and girls in direct jeopardy due to some villain's "feelz".

What happens if the perpetrator escapes and the reporter and police don't actually know how the perpetrator might identify themselves? Do they assign them man/woman based on gender-based clothes or on sex-based physique?,

I seem to remember that when the police were looking for Lisa Hauxwell there were some very oddly worded statements...

Alexa this is how a convicted sex offender on the run was reported. Clear as mud.

Well last time that happened, it was a "woman who sometimes dresses as a man" Hmm

OvaHere · 26/06/2018 13:41

These are not women. So much gaslighting by the media.

Another thing is if there was a transperson going around murdering women, and we were told it was a woman we wouldn't protect ourselves so effectively as if we were told it was a transwoman. After all, suspects are generally described roughly "white middle-aged man, stocky build" so why isn't such an easily recognisable visual indicator not allowed".

I don't understand why they can't use the term trans woman or transwoman - apologies can't recall which is acceptable?

It's 'outing' them. Cos clearly if no one mentions it's impossible to tell.

poopsqueak · 26/06/2018 13:35

I can only see the fb comments on the lbc article. Does anyone have a direct link to the fb page?

I don't know either. Unless they have GRC?

FloralBunting · 26/06/2018 13:32

You ain't no woman, bruv.

AngryAttackKittens · 26/06/2018 13:25

Man, not mad. Though just barely at 19.

Dragoncake · 26/06/2018 13:24

*'birth sex'

AngryAttackKittens · 26/06/2018 13:23

If an outlet does report them as trans I wonder how quickly the comment tone will change to "well I'm sure that nasty mad did something to deserve being stomped on"?

Dragoncake · 26/06/2018 13:23

Oh that explains the odd reporting then Allymcbeagle. Thanks for the link. I think that there are guidelines on reporting which mean that reporters can't refer to trans people's birth sex. They get around this by publishing a photo or video.

littlbrowndog · 26/06/2018 13:21

Perhaps just gave them the side eye

Enough to send em into a frenzy of violence

I'm sure their supporters will convince themselves that the man deserved it. He probably committed an act of literal violence against them, or said "hello chaps".

Hmm
misscockerspaniel · 26/06/2018 13:16

Self-id in action.

AngryAttackKittens · 26/06/2018 13:15

If some kind soul could explain to the people at that site what a drag queen is that might also be helpful.

AllyMcBeagle · 26/06/2018 13:14

To be fair, it looks like the British Transport Police have said that they were women, so it's not just the LBC reporter...

Registering and making a comment is well worth it to my mind. Every little helps.
