A homophobic murderer that explicitly targeted gay men through Grindr.

While agreeing that it's shit that person is now identifying as female, I don't know why you're referring to them as a homophobic murderer. The partners in crime were gay, they probably used Grindr because that's what they were used to, and it seemed to be about stealing, not killing. Callous disregard for the safety of their victims, and anyone normal would have stopped after the first death. But neither of them can have been 'normal'.

Indeed, nothing like a prison sentence to focus one's mind on one's gender identity.

Oh of course, I can totally see his "inner woman" just desperate to burst out.

Looks like blatant misgendering by the BBC there. Isn't that a hate crime, these days?

'Passing sentence, the judge said Matovu, who now identifies as female, was a "highly dangerous predator".
He was jailed for a total of 39 offences relating to 14 victims.'

Interesting... the BBC is referring to this 'self-identified female' as a man, correct pronouns. I guess they're allowing for context (as MN does) rather than 'acceptance without exception' ...Have they done that in the past?

A homophobic murderer that explicitly targeted gay men through Grindr. I wonder what part of h* lifestyle lead h* to identify as a woman?

Another case of Prison Onset Gender Dysphoria it would seem...
