Scarlet Blake - murder to officially recorded as a crime committed by a woman

But there was the transgender criminal ( biological male) who aided/encouraged the rape of a 4 year old by another paedophile. He was reported as being a female by Manchester Police and the BBC.

Being gay also does no physical harm to young people who feel this way, moreover, they can explore this but change their mind at any point in their life.

Another point, is that young people who are gender non conforming who might according to research have grown up to be gay, are being persuaded instead that they are transgender which is much more dangerous for them.

Young people are also being encouraged to escape traumas and difficulties by becoming transgender when this will not alleviate their state of mind in the long term.

The judge said the fact that ‘she’ was transgender was not a consideration!

“Thames Valley Police adheres to the law and codes of practice, outlined by the Equality Act 2010, and the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) Code C, when establishing and recording the gender of a person in our custody.”

Does the Equality Act say a crime is recorded according to gender, not sex?

What then do they do about rape a penis/male crime carried out by a transwoman (a person born a biological male? How then do they record it as being by a woman?

🙈🙈🙈🙈

I received a reply from the BBC too. Mine coupled the fact that Blake was referred to throughout the trial with she/her pronouns as a guiding factor, ie because the court honoured Blake’s request their guidances dictates they should also honour that. This means that had Blake chosen to be cat gender, they’d have referred accordingly … madness!

Exactly. I’ll reference this in addition to further comments when I follow up the complaint response in ‘stage 1b’ 🙄

So it's not just this specific item that needs fixing but the 'style guidelines' as a whole since evidently they aren't sufficiently emphasising clarity and accuracy.

People don't all correctly understand phrases like 'transgender woman' - anyone rational may assume it means a female who is trans rather than a male.

I complained to the BBC about their coverage of Blake, not mentioning he is a man. This is their pathetic response. You need to tap on the photo to see the whole thing.

There was a thread on AIBU earlier this afternoon on Blake which was trending enough to get into the top 5. And now it seems to have disappeared.

They didn’t even chuck it into the naughty corner here. Anyone know if it was just deleted?

Absolutely

Thames Valley Police didn't book Blake in as a cat then?

Can someone do a government petition, please? I can’t because of my job but all the other kinds of petitions are merely performative and hot air. A gov one with 100k signatures gets a debate which would be a nudge towards changing laws. Reading between the lines of the Thames Valley police head’s chief, that is what he is asking for.

Or to say the same thing a slightly different way... no-ones' identity, self-knowledge, marriage or experience of love or sexual desire had to be redefined or denied in order to accept the existence and validity of LGB identities, self knowledge, marriage, love or sexual desire.

In order to accept TWAW and TMAM, the meaning of "man" and "woman" has to be written for all of humanity, imposing on to every single one of us the assumption that our minds are "womanly", "manly" or "non-binary" regardless of whether this aligns with our actual self knowledge and life experience.

But someone who is same sex attracted is a reality. That person is attracted to the same sex as they are. It’s factual.

Identifying as a sex you are not is not factual or reality.

fundamental difference

You think if the Government were genuinely listening to GC groups, that they would have made that change ages ago.

No.10 has an opinion, except they think a piece of paper can change a person's sex.

The statement from the Police SEEN is thoughtful, this indulging this nonsense is taking the focus away from the victim.

Seeing comments on X that Scarlet was a Tavistock ‘graduate’… perhaps more evidence that these children/YAs need help and therapy, not affirmation and medicalisation.

Doesn't the phrase garbage in garbage out have a bearing on this issue.

Exactly.

Quite. Either the data are important for [X] purposes, and therefore need be accurate. Or they are never used for anything, so we shouldn't waste time and resources on recording them.

Apart from the huge injustice of attributing crimes to women that have actually been carried out by men in frocks, what is the point of deliberately creating data that is just plain wrong and misleading.

What is the data then used for? funding decisions, allocation of personnel, where to allocate resources? Doesn't the phrase garbage in garbage out have a bearing on this issue.

And this is why gender identity in data collection over biological sex does not work...

I see this too - I think men don't think they'd be fooled millions of male tourists visiting Thai bars might disagree and don't seem to equate the idea this man was murdered by someone using the appearance of being a woman out at night as a disabling factor. How would he feel if he stopped in the middle of nowhere to help someone who appeared to be a woman fix a tyre in the dark, only to find it was a man in a wig wielding a wrench?

Absolutely. Also that all previously falsified legal documents and statistics are corrected.

Unfortunately we know what the SEX of the officers who - often intimately - searched these "women booking in as men" would be.

You can bet your life there wouldn't be a transman officer available to do the necessary.

the wording where it has been disclosed has been very careful and about specific things raised in the trial rather than about her gender overall.

HIS gender.
