Only source so far, but appears to be potentially corroborated by the Sun:

This infuriates me.

"never happens" apart from a shit load of times that it does happen but the fucking paedophile passes themselves off as a woman.

It's men. Men dressed as men and men dressed as women.

I'm so sick of this.

mrshoho · 07/02/2023 20:16

So thankful this girl was found. Hopefully she recovers from it all.

Ericaequites · 07/02/2023 20:21

I’m on match.com, and blatant men in men’s clothes post as women attracted to women. It’s annoying, but not as much as heterosexual couples looking for a third. If I wanted that much pain, I’d go to Costco, fill a cart with canned goods, and roll it over my foot in sandals.

mrshoho · 07/02/2023 20:23

So 'deadnaming' 🤢 is ok in this instance? Confusing 😕. Has something changed? This man has been known as Amy George and identifies as a woman. Great news if this is how the police and courts are going to deal with these men in future.

MichelleScarn · 07/02/2023 20:26

Wonder how the Grundiad will report this news? Will they?

mrshoho · 07/02/2023 20:38

And this man when prancing around as Amy is someone we were expected to tolerate being in single sex spaces such as female toilets.

And why has mainstream media and police not included any reference to the 'Amy' persona?

bringmethehorizontal · 07/02/2023 20:38

Oh no... this is creepy as fuck with the JKR links on top of it.

Give it time.

There are rules about when stuff can be published to avoid prejudicing a trial.

This thread might vanish but I’m sure we will all agree that it’s worth losing a thread to get that little girl some justice.

According to Sturgeon, there are three options:

  1. Men
  2. Women
  3. Individuals

The latter being 1 + sex crime

So I can only assume that the perpetrator is an individual

ArtfullyCrumpled · 07/02/2023 20:51

Thank god she's been found. Hope she'll be ok. Poor girl. 😢

pictoosh · 07/02/2023 20:51

It's all rather bizarre and will provoke some very salacious reporting.

Mochudubh · 07/02/2023 20:51

I wonder how they'll try to spin this as "not true trans" given he appears to have identified as "Amy" for considerable periods of time and was known as a cross-dresser at school.

spidereggs · 07/02/2023 20:53

I was out yesterday looking.

I'm aware of him locally. The family have asked for silence.

It's all very strange.

But I don't think a persona would officially mentioned at this stage

Well if they try that one on they're being transphobic.

Cross dressers come under the trans umbrella according to Stonewall.

It's ok in this instance because it doesn't fit the Scotgov narrative that this never happens.

Plus there is absolutely no way her won’t try and leverage the trans thing for sympathy and an women’s jail, even if he is more TV than TS (which stonewall say is irrelevant now anyway).

Plenty of reviews of the butcher shop refer to a ‘lady’ running the place, so by the (stupid) standards of various institutions he was ‘living as a woman’ at least some of the time.

This is one weird story. That poor girl

I live in this area and it has all come across as very strange. Everyone is relieved the little girl has been found but as mentioned previously, the family have asked for nobody to speak about it online. I assume to protect the girl but these things will come out. People also want to know because we're concerned for our own children. But if the suspect is currently being held by police that's something I guess. Just hope it isn't another case of a paedophile being protected by police. Don't know why all of the known ones didn't have their houses raided as soon as she was reported missing.

As for the person, yep he dresses as a woman, has a Facebook profile under the name Amy George (I've been looking at it today and he is a very strange person) and is known in the area as being a creep. I believe there was alsp some chat about him stealing underwear from washing lines in the past.

Wow, the shit is going to hit the fan.

I don't want to come across as though i don't care about the fact that an 11 year old girl has been caught in the cross fire but I wish I was a fly on the wall in camp Sturgeon tonight. The timing.

ShireWifeofNigelFarage · 07/02/2023 21:14

Fair enough re: requests from the girl’s family. She doesn’t need her name being associated with this man forever.

Hopefully he won’t get bail and if he does he won’t be allowed back to his home address.

lifeturnsonadime · 07/02/2023 21:14

Posted too soon, I sincerely hope he just held her and didn't harm her in anyway and that she is OK.

mrshoho · 07/02/2023 21:17

For a relatively small country of 5.5 million in Scotland there appears to be an awful lot of these types of cases.

guinnessguzzler · 07/02/2023 21:18

That poor girl, I hope she has all the love and support she needs to get through this. It must have been absolutely terrifying for her.
