The photo is a still from a YouTube video showing this person clubbing a water melon with Germaine Greer's photo on it.
Obviously not keen on feminists

Other media like the BBC refer to this person as simply a " woman'" No pictures of course.

Daily mail report uses female. It is not clear at all that Zoe is trans and a biological male.

i) The press must avoid prejudicial or pejorative reference to an individual's, race, colour, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or to any physical or mental illness or disability.

Hang on, why is sex missed out of the second one then? Why not just require 'Person' unless it's relevant, like everything else?

But since sex is fine to use, I still don't see the problem here, reporting a person's sex, and only report a person's gender identity if relevant is the rules here, so why aren't journalists following them? Why are they reporting gender identity, and ignoring sex in clear contravention?

Using 'woman' is bad enough but 'female' is completely incorrect and entirely misleading. Aren't there press guidelines prohibiting that sort of thing?

The Lincolnite are reporting the charging of this individual now. All reference is to a female. Someone's had a slapped wrist I assume.

Oops just reread, The Lincolnite don't say female. The Police say "this person" and ask for people to moderate their speculation on social media...

Apologies - when I read "woman" my brain remembers it as "female". I am silly.

The Lincolnite article mentions their original name, and if you look at their YouTube videos it's fairly apparent.
