Inaccurate BBC story - Trans identified male

Bbc Sussex has described trans identified male murderer as 'woman' throughout story, with no reference at all to his sex or trans identity.

If you wish to complain about this inaccurate reporting of a male's violent crime, the bbc's complaints link is here:

Do you have personal knowledge that this person is trans?

The media outlets are just republishing information released by the police, they won't have done any research into the people involved.

Haven't we learnt from a recent thread not to jump to conclusions just because someone looks like a masculine woman in a photo?

Not saying that's the case here, as some media sources seem to know more about the accused's personal background than the likes of the BBC etc.

To be fair, the bbc article is illustrated with a photo of the accused being escorted into a police vehicle whilst clearly being a bloke in a blond wig with a bit of five oclock shadow.
