Trans woman found dead after being charged with raping someone ‘with your penis’

Its natural not to feel sympathy for a child abuser and rapist.
I can't help but feel there should have been a better outcome to this person's life. There's many clear signs of different mental issues throughout the story. This person needed help a long time before they commited those crimes.
I can't help but wonder if we stopped accepting and pandering to all these mental issues e.g. "bring you whole self to work" middle age men turning up in fishnets and high heels, that people might actually start to get the mental help they need to get through life. I yearn to return to the times when men going through a mid life crisis just went out and bought a motorbike instead of cosplaying a prostitute in public.
It's one thing to be cruel to a person and mock them, but surely we can be firm and polite and explan why it's no ok for any of the women in the office to dress like that to work, so by the same standard it's not ok for you to do it either. I don't care how authentic it makes you feel.
The pandering isn't helping people with mental issues, it's setting them up for failure. To be respectful but firm surely is better for the recipient that being told flaunting their paraphillias in public is stunning and brave.
There's a lot of people who need mental help out there, and encouraging them to indulge their mental issues is hurting them not helping them. Then they go on to hurt others.
In my opinion if the man in this story had mental help and support going right back throughout his life that there's a good chance that he, and those he hurt would have had much better life outcomes. Being kind is not indulging mental difficulties but helping people address and get through the mental challenges they face.
This story is like a little microcosm of today's wider society to me. There's warning signs all over that things are going wrong, and instead of fixing problems we are all told the problems are good things that should be celebrated.

What a shame.

He will never be a risk to anyone ever again. And with these crimes (and he had already proven) they are serial re-offenders.

He tried to play the trans card, that failed and so he had nothing left to escape prison.

Why? That would have cost us a fortune and he’d be, based on the statistics, overwhelmingly likely to reoffend once he’d got out.

Edit: deleted own post

As the judge can correctly refer to the person, why can't the newspaper?

Thank you. The Daily Mail is the worst offender for obsessing about the method which goes totally against the Samaritans guidelines. It’s even in the bloody link.

No problem. And my apologies to you for making incorrect assumptions about your reasons for reporting.

@WilfredsPies yes. The title has been changed now which is good. Sorry, should have expressed myself more clearly. As you were.

I'll be interested to see if this death is listed come trans remembrance day. Would not be suprised given Tiffany Scott's was.

Title is factual. (Alleged) rapist committed suicide. In UK law only men can commit rape. An Alice band does not make you a woman, either.

Ah, fair point.

Is that what you were thinking @NewNameAgainAgainAgainAgain?

In fairness, they may be thinking of people who had lost entirely innocent friends and family to that mode of suicide, and could have been triggered by the thread title.

Who exactly do you feel will be traumatised by the death of a paedophile?

And who exactly do you feel should be benefiting from other poster’s empathy?

I see the title has been changed. Many thanks to whoever did that.

There’s some real sickos on here, laughing at my post. No empathy whatsoever.

@Jerabilis You’ve totally missed my point. I know that. Why the method of suicide needs to be spelt out is beyond me but don’t worry, who cares eh. It’s such a laugh. I’ll leave you to it.

What the actual fuck.

I agree that the thread title is accurate.

It's good to hear a judge not pandering to nonsense and using the correct title.

It's an accurate title. These are not women's crimes.

I’ve reported this thread. Was the title really necessary? Can you not do your gloating in such a way as not to cause trauma to others?

I'd sooner have seen him tried, convicted, sentenced, and banged up in a (obviously male) prison for a long time.

I hope his death causes the victims more happiness than trauma.

That's a good angle on it.👍

I'd rather the fucker saw out his sentence.
Anyone else see the photo of him, wearing a pink headband didn't make him a woman .
