Daily Echo: Hampshire woman appears in court charged with raping girl

The Mail has long had form for publishing stories on both sides of a topic - clicks matter

Headlines that enrage one or both side get more clicks and thus more ad revenue

its ALL about money

It would be interesting to know about the internal politics of the gender style guide at places like the Mail and the Times. The Mail often runs pieces pulling apart new examples of gender theory idiocy, then also runs pieces describing hideous trans-identifying criminals as women.

In the Times, they use transwoman and trans woman, as well as trans-identifying man. I wonder whose decision wins, the starry writer, the chief sub-editor, the down table sub? These issues must be being endlessly debated within media.

The paraphilia has long been associated with sexual criminality - Silence of the Lambs anyone? Buffalo Bill was actually a montage of multiple trans sex offenders.

But if they accept that this violent sex abuser is a genuine trans person, then they have to also accept that genuine trans people can be violent sex abusers - something which is vehemently denied by the TRAs. The usual disclaimer for cases like this is that they weren’t genuinely trans. So you see the massive contradiction, and the knots they tie themselves up in to distance violent sexual abusers who also have trans identity from those who ‘just want to pee’ etc.

Why do you say this man was misusing trans identification?

Even the pro trans people who think some men are just pretending to be trans mostly take the view that someone who has had genital surgery is really trans

And many pro trans people say that anyone who says they're trans is trans

FUCKING PREACH.

That seems to be the line the Coroner was trotting out.

I can imagine this will be spun by activists as an example of trans people being the most vulnerable. He killed himself as a result of 'transphobic' attacks citing the smashed windows.

I note the BBC is referring to him as she/ her. No respect for his child victims.

On the plus side, he's spared his victims the trauma of cross examination and saved the public purse £££ in prison costs.

A case of the trash taking itself out.

That quote in the BBC article is unbelievable. They should be ashamed of themselves.

'Acceptance without exception' remember. Actually I agree with them on this, this unfortunate, monstrous man was as trans as anyone else who claims to be trans.

I don't understand why the "pro trans " lobby arent up in arms about people misusing trans identification in this way. Surely they are horrified by it?

Me too. And it’s so horribly damaging - not just to individuals (which, in this case, is so horrific) but to the wider social contract as well. The people we pay to protect us and our kids are not protecting us. The people we pay to determine and report the truth are lying to us. As long as our institutions are wedded to this deceitful, destructive ideology, the world is going to find itself walking into an ever-bigger mess. If populists like Trump get into power on a ticket that they ‘tell the truth’, it’s because every liberal/left party and every taxpayer-funded organisation has just given them a wide open goal by lying and apparently not caring about the consequences.

Sex offenders are basically gaslighting their victims by claiming they're trans.

And they're enabled by the establishment and institutions including the media and judiciary etc.

The Daily Mail knows that creep is a man. They know he's at it when he claims he's anything other than male. But they still refer to him as a trans woman.

It makes me sick to my stomach.

I agree. He’s dead. There can’t be a trial now. It doesn’t serve anything to cast doubt on the victims. There are children in different parts of the country allegedly hurt by this man. “Brother doesn’t accept accusations about family member” - hardly unusual.

So what will it take? How many cases? What level of data? What degree of harm needs to be inflicted before the trans lobby admit that the widening of the LGBTQ umbrella has brought in and given shelter to some of the worst abusers in society. This total denial makes it ever harder to maintain sympathy for those people with a trans identity who just want to live their lives in peace. They need to start calling this out, so we can talk about the clear risks and start being able to manage them properly instead of having to pretend these clearly deviant men are just lovely ladies.

It would be unkind of me to ask what the quotation is....

He got what he said he wanted. There's a Ben Cooper quote for occasions like this.

But it would have been horribly evil and mean not to give him what he wanted wouldn’t it?

This, in the BBC article, is imo completely irrelevant and unnecessary

The witness said he did not believe the criminal allegations against her, because she had herself been "molested" as a child.

Victims don't need to have the nation's broadcaster calling them liars. There was no need for the BBC to publish that quote.

If the reassignment surgery he underwent in November 2024 entailed removal of his genitals, he obviously had a lot going on. Any one alone might have driven a man to suicide. He was perhaps not the best candidate for such radical, life changing surgery at that time.

Who’d have thought that a pink hair band could cast a magic spell over journalists, language and the courts?

It’s beyond words, these disgusting men twisting everything around them for their own sick desires.

Inquest confirms he offed himself.

Yes !!
I’d better be careful though; or I may be deleted

Well if India was to say that wouldn’t it be transphobic? Isn’t it “acceptance without exception” according to the TRAs?
