Another Female Sex Offender

I'm not saying this person with an Adams apple, high hair line and conviction for a crime 99% of the time is committed by a person with an XY chromosome is not female (and yes, I know females can be deviant and evil to).

But, how can I be sure they are female, how can I know that what is reported is factually correct if we are not allowed to state biological facts.

Don't the publishing guidelines include anything at all about not having headlines/content which is blatantly misleading?

The thing to do is go to a popular, heavily read article in the Mail where comments are not being moderated and put your comment there. Do it on as many articles as you can.

Yes!

I wonder if the reason they weren't sent to prison was for the benefit of the female inmates, it doesn't seem right to send in a sex offender with a penis.

Could be they've described this individual as female because there's a GRC. If there isn't, it's a straight-up lie

I wondered this too as the Daily Mail are usually good for stating biological sex, and they use of the word female throughout rather than woman that I think they would typically use. Smacks of sticking to the letter of the law.

Agree as said upthread, if this is the case, it proves again that the GRA, GRCs and surrounding legislation and demands for GRC secrecy are undermining the safeguarding of women and children.

Does anyone know what style guidelines the Daily Mail follows? AP and NYTimes have recently updated their guidelines (like only 2 years ago) to not reference the sex someone was born unless it's necessary to the story. So, curious if that is part of the Daily Mail guidelines AND if someone decided sex is not necessary to this story. I'd argue it is.

His FB says "I am a tran if you do not like it tuff am 5'9 slim built shoulder length hair long legs baby blue eyes I enjoy my. Life as a women. I may not have boobs like some there to come xxxxX ps if you do not have photo or a profile pic do not ask me to be a friend as you will be blocked those that are on my friends list are ok i do not do videos of any sort do not ask or you be blocked , i do not what asshole or pervs if you do not ask to be my friend thankyou"

That doesn't seem like it's secret information to be omitted from news reports?

It depends who writes the Mail report. Sometimes they're great and make it clear it's Not A Woman. Other times it must be their wee woke misogynist writing it and they just ignore the male sex fact altogether.

This must have been the latter.

Actually they all work to the IPSO editors' code which says they must respect a person's gender identity. The problem is they report as if that is the person's sex - or that is what most readers will think it means. Also they are not supposed to reveal trans status unless it is relevant, which is fair enough - but since 98% of sex offences are committed by men, I think sex is relevant here. A woman committing these crimes would certainly be news.

Delphinium I don't know about in-house style guidelines but as pp said, Daily Mail is IPSO member and this style of reporting is in accordance with IPSO's own guidance. Journalists claim they can't do anything about it, but my hunch is that a lot of this is deliberate trolling.
Some sections of the UK press are still butthurt having been forced to set up a new regulator after the hacking scandal.
They have no interest in changing the guidance because it allows them to publish sensationalist stories about eccentric "women" criminals whilst making a mockery of the idea of press regulation.
That is my theory anyway - I find it very difficult to believe that it's anything to do with ethical standards.

I think my New Year resolution should be to review all the journalism style guides and note the history of their changes the last decade.
