I cannot understand how this report isn’t considered to be misleading. Anyone who didn’t know would have no idea that Zoe Watts is a man who claims to be a woman. Surely the BBC should be obliged to make this clear even if they do use ideological language to make the point.

“13 December 2024
A former Lincolnshire Police worker has been accused of multiple firearms offences.
Zoe Watts, who had worked as a police community support officer for more than eight years, was arrested after armed police were called to her home in Lincoln on Wednesday.
She is charged with possessing a firearm when prohibited for five years, possession of a firearm without a certificate and manufacturing a firearm weapon.
The 38-year-old, of St Helen's Avenue, did not enter any pleas when she appeared at Lincoln Magistrates' Court on Friday and has been remanded into custody until 13 January when she is due to appear at Lincoln Crown Court.”

Zoe Watts has medium-length hair, which is dyed purple and reaches past her shoulders

If he went to prison 2021/22 then perhaps that predated the updated rules from the MoJ.

They still don't totally preclude violent men from going to women's prison, though, as far as I can make out.

Good grief. I thought the MoJ weren't putting violent men in prison with women? Especially men who threaten violence against women?

He also posts on 'LesbianActually' on Reddit, and identifies as a 'Kinkster'.

This man should not have been in a women's prison.

Zoe Watts. BBC report is misleading.

This violent, dangerous man claims to have been in a women's prison.

'I met at least three Murders, a pedophile, a mad bomber, a women whos daughter mysteriously vanished and hasn't been seen since, someone who tried to commit suicide by setting their house on fire, a cannibal and a school teacher who had a fatal car crash on a first date (killing the passenger) and one women who was confined to her cell for months, she decorated it with religious imagery and would often go mental screaming and throwing things.
The surprising fact was just how normal they all seamed
One woman beat her neighbour to death with a shovel, and she was a perfectly normal person, engaging to talk to and would show off whatever craft project or knitting she had done recently.
Another had tried to hire a hitman to kill her ex (she featured on an episode of 24 hours in police custody which aired while we were there) and we were talking one day about a scheme that was being ran to learn degrees and I expressed concern that you were required to take out a loan - and she responded she'd never be realised so wouldn't realistically ever have the means to pay it back.
The main trouble came about ironically when a prisoner got bail and left their job as a food server vacant, her "gang" were under the impression one of them would get the job, only for the guards to offer me it as I had a food hygiene certificate - things became more difficult from that point on as they tried to pressure me to quit the role, constant complaints about me to the guards and homophobic and transphobic slurs became commonplace from that point on until I was released.'

Yes, x posted with you @ArabellaScott

Although she's done some YouTube videos, she's not a political activist," said Mr Fooks.

Yes, the YouTube videos were putting pictures of people's faces on watermelons and smashing them up with a baseball bat, including gender critical feminists like JKR.

Another violent, dangerous man.

The BBC needs an enquiry.

Definitely a familiar face

Maybe Marianna Spring should apply her fact checking skills to this story. YANBU btw but the BBC is a captured cesspit, on this and other issues, and sadly like many outlets has destroyed its credibility.

We have seen this one before, where?
