Covent Garden - why don't I trust the reporting ?

So the answer to my question to StopFolding ("Exactly how many times would anyone need to lie to you before you started double-checking what they said?") must be n>40.

Helpful to know.

I've had a post hidden upthread for providing evidence of 39 male criminals (rapists, murderers, paedophiles) who have been referred to by police, CPS and Courts as 'she'.

Exactly how many times would anyone need to lie to you before you started double-checking what they said?

Don't underestimate the power of a woman especially if they have schizophrenia or something like that but yes I understand why people are sceptical

and a couple of examples is not, and never will be, regarded as “numerous examples”

Some of these crimes are so rarely committed by women (rape for example, which in the UK must involve a penis) that just a couple of examples make a huge impact on data.

The thing you have to understand is that we are taking about tiny numbers.

I'm going to assume that you are just having difficulty understanding the point of the thread, so `I will attempt an explanation.

The point is not that trans people are always committing violent crimes.

The point is that women (regardless of their identity) very rarely commit violent crimes, and there has been a policy of misreporting some men's crimes as women's crimes.

This means that when one of these very rare crimes occurs we wonder whether the reporting is accurate.

This is all important because, when numbers are small, incorrect reporting has a disproportionate impact on data.

Do you understand now or do you need further explanation?

Here's a list of men referred to by the police courts, even the CPS with female pronouns:

My first thought was surprise that it was a woman, but then on reading the weapon was scissors my next thought was that she must be very unwell or something horrendous has happened to her.
Women's criminality is generally very different to men's (as well as being far less).

This never happens. Do you have an example? You have provided me with an example, I now demand numerous examples. You have now provided numerous examples. I will criticise you because you have provided numerous examples.

I see. Go well.

She was apparently homeless and was seen regularly around the area by various stall and shop keepers. I immediately felt the same as others, and was a bit suspicious, but then I thought that maybe she had been traumatised by abuse by homeless, and other, men on the street, and this was her response.
I always feel that homeless women are particularly vulnerable.

Here is Katie Birtles, imprisoned for 5 years for sexual offences - contacting and aiming to meet a 14 year old, in a police sting by Grantham police, who omitted to mention that Katie is a man:

london999.co.uk/grantham-woman-jailed-for-child-sexual-offences-after-attempt-to-meet-14-year-old-girl/

I don't think it is unlikely. She could have slashed at the men rather than stabbing as such.

Some key points:

• fortunately, none of the injuries were serious
• sadly, the perpetrator seems to be someone who is known in the area for needing, and failing to access, mental health treatment
• male crimes continue to be misreported as female crimes, leading to suspicion and speculation when crimes rarely committed by females are reported as being carried out by females
• TRAs continue to misunderstand or misrepresented the views of people who recognise sex matters in some contexts.

For the people who are outraged over people's suspicions. Here's an interesting thought.

The authorities and media have done everything possible to be inclusive of trans people, in particular reporting of crimes by the perpetrator's preferred gender and name. The backlash (as seen in this thread) is a result of the authorites and media "trying to do the right thing".

You could argue that authorities and media response to transphobia has actually resulted in creating more.

Personally I fail to understand why TRAs know that male criminals are abusing the self-ID system and why they refuse to call it out.

if shes john wick trained then maybe, other wise do we know the results of injuries the locations of the marks, the depth, the blood loss from each person, the times between the attacks, the angles of the scissors' also the types of scissors etc

I thought this too.

This is a report about Zoe Watts who is a male who identifies as trans. Everywhere - the BBC and other papers - we are led to believe he's a woman. Why? Because Lincs police (for whom Watts used to work as a PCSO) never told any of us he's a man and the BBC et al didn't think to correct this in their reporting when informed of the truth. He was imprisoned for 3-D printing a gun.

Here is Watts using a rainbow coloured baseball bat, with glass shards embedded in it to wallop the effigies of people he hates, including feminist Germaine Greer.

The point of the thread is that past misreporting and obfuscation has led to people mistrusting what is being reported.

The likelihood of a female randomly stabbing unknown males is very small because it is highly unusual for females to commit violent crimes. Questioning the reported sex of the perpetrator is unsurprising because (1) this is highly unusual (2) on several occasions, males crimes have been reported as female crimes due to male perpetrators holding trans identities.

Posters misinterpreting the thread as being about people assuming a violent crime was likely to be committed by a male with a trans identity are missing the point, which is that it’s more likely to be a male committing this type of crime.

All we care about is accurate reporting of sex.

And accurate reporting of scientific taxonomy. Oh, and I get quite aerated about misunderstandings of PAYE tax bands.
