When will this nonsense stop?

Is that picture of Jessica Smith?! Wow.

uggh. well done those paedophile hunters. ffs

I’m pleased they’re using TW in the headline rather than woman.

Good to see the BBC using the correct terminology, although not entirely clear why correct pronouns need to be respected when the intent is to rape girls? This is a male pattern crime. Sincerely hope the police are recording the crime correctly too.

Frankly, I’d like to see preferred pronouns deliberately ignored when a crime like this is committed.

Some previous discussion of this news item: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4226340-Confused-has-this-paedophile-been-sent-to-a-women-s-prison

Disgusting man.

And this is a crime that will presumably be attributed to women.

I am pleased to see the BBC refer to this person as a Trans woman, rather than as a woman, but the knowledge that crime stats will record this as a female crime is fucking galling.

Dirty fucking pervert. (For clarity MNHQ, my use of pervert relates to the accused crime only.)

Seems also tried to have sentence reduced because of gender identity along with others.

Good that this animal is referred to as 'trans' in the article, but will this be recorded as a female crime by the ONS?

but will this be recorded as a female crime by the ONS?

Probably yes.

I am waiting for the posters that come to state this is a ‘one off’ or that ‘this person isn’t trans at all’ or whatever. Where is the ‘she is a woman too, it’s ok, you’ll all be fine’ breezy patronizing we’ve been coming across lately?

TWAW - until one of them commits a crime. In which case 'they are not one of us'.

TWAW - until one of them commits a crime. In which case 'they are not one of us'.

And yet we (as in the cunty women) are not allowed to be concerned that "they are not one of us".

Surely by saying "they are not one of us" they are acknowledging that some will take advantage.

I know I am using logic here

Doesn't specify whether the 2 year sentence is to be served in a male-sex or female-sex jail.

Also refers to him as "she". He's a man. In ordinary life I would accord a TW the courtesy of female pronouns, but in sexual abuse situation to use "she" softens and minimises the abuse.

Agree.

Hideous

I was also wondering whether he'll be in a male or female prison

See, woman are just as bad as men.

So grim
Why have the BBC suddenly used TW? Does this just mean the disgusting male uses this identity rather than “woman” or are they actually getting closer to truthful reporting?

I'm hoping it's because they get so many complaints when they post a story that features a headline which says "woman" and a photograph of the offender that blatantly says "man" to the viewer that it's impossible to continue to gaslight the audience. But then I'm ever the optimist.

I hope so too HecatesCatsInFancyHats
I always wonder who chooses the photos...

Yes! Bit of a shocker, seeing as it's the BBC.
