Paedophile with 1500 abuse images now identifies as a woman

This is all beginning to feel a bit like the “grooming scandals”.

God no idea what that mess of a link was. Try this: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-53410019

Courts are different from newspaper reports and I'm not sure of the guidance for court. But IPSO guidance is clear - you don't mention it unless it is relevant to the story. https://www.ipso.co.uk/member-publishers/guidance-for-journalists-and-editors/transgender-guidance/

I think the fact that these are men is highly relevant to the story. It's an absolute distortion of truth for the media to report these crimes as committed by women. This BBC article is an absolute disgrace:

Complete madness and you'll give yourself a headache trying to understand the mindset of such a person.

That’s what they bank on and then they disappear off the thread when people point out how incoherent their argument is. It’s all bluff and blunder.

Their strapline is The Star news you can trust since 1887.

Considering how women were treated in 1887 and onwards, that’s hardly worth boasting about. 😁

This article from the Star from July last year doesn't even mention the defendant is a transwoman or show a photograph, they committed a similar crime.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, Clymene. So newspapers are free to use whichever pronouns they see fit? And police can record crimes according to sex?

No, they don't scrimshaw. This is another 'stonewall' law which is being challenged via IPSO.

In the last few months, we have had John Robert Marshall, Anthony Scales and Joshua Harvey, all male, all identifying as women, all paedophiles, all reported on in the press as women.

These. Are. Not. Our. Crimes.

The police have become weirdly shy of providing photos of men who are claiming to be women in these instances. What a headfuck if you were some of the children approached by 'a woman' at the Remembrance Day parade which is what harvey did immediately after his release from prison following conviction for grooming.

Here is what Harvey looks like.

As do the police. As I understand it they have no choice in the matter. Pronouns are to be respected. These things are embedded in policy.

Newspapers have to record pronouns as the paedophile identifies, don't they?

I’m sure the likes of Paris Lees and Juno Dawson even mutter under their breaths when they see reports like that - surely? Can they really not see where we’re coming from with this - this isn’t some ‘hypothetical’ that you can deal with by saying ‘well Rose West was a woman!’ Can you? No. Just no.

I do wonder, sometimes if the the papers know exactly what they’re doing, when they say ‘she’ to describe male bodied people who identify as trans, that commit these horrible crimes. Is it their way of making people sit up and take notice?

No photo of Julie either.

Looking at csa images while in hospital! Dear god. Wonder which prison?

I've known pedophiles get suspended sentence violate the conditions and get another suspended sentence and violate it again for ANOTHER SUSPENDED SENTENCE

Male privilege

Two in one day! There's a news story about Julie/Jon Marshall in the Blackpool Gazette today. Same crime.
It's reported on Yahoo's homepage as well, with absolutely no mention of 'transwoman' just with the headline 'Woman convicted etc etc'
I can't work out how to share the link on here from my phone but perhaps someone else could?

Why not record crimes by sex - there's a novel idea!

A suspended sentence? A fucking suspended sentence? Jesus Christ! I mrs you go to prison for years for fraud and other crimes that effect money but being a peado

Gah!!

This will be recorded as a female crime. Thereby contributing to skewed statistics that MRAs and lib fems alike will use to throw back at us with a "look women do it too; therefore sex isn't real/you don't deserve boundaries".

I trust we’re permitted to correctly sex this person, since he committed a sex crime towards females, MNHQ, as we are with other sex offenders?

On the other hand, this person IS a transwoman, because they identify as such and that’s how it works, so I’ll probably get reported by those who wish to support the paedophile.

Ooh... I know, because then people would start comparing crime trans rates with "cis" crime rates. And that would raise a lot of extremely awkward questions that TRAs do not want to have asked, let alone answered.

Excellent point, that I'd never considered like that.

Scotland seems to be modelling itself on Canada, in this respect.

Awful.
