The Telegraph makes the transgender connection in the headline:
Drug dealer who murdered man he met on gay dating app Grindr is to seek gender reassignment in prison

"But during mitigation at the Old Bailey, his lawyer, Louise Sweet QC, said Matovu had identified as female from the age of eight and now intended to seek gender reassignment while in prison.
Ms Sweet said Matovu hoped to have gender reassignment while in prison".
By self identifying as female, Matovu could be entitled to a separate cell, be permitted to shower alone and even apply to serve his sentence in a female prison".
Weird that the guy waited 18 years until he was on remand for murder before he actually chose to do anything about his "gender issues".
So strange.
