I know there are other Scarlet Blake threads but I thought this was significant enough to start a new thread.
According to The Telegraph the murder is to be recorded as a crime committed by a woman.

Thank you - have signed

I was watching the BBC News at 1 today with DH who was WFH & I told him the biggest news story for me today (Blake's murder being reported as a crime committed by a female) would not be reported...and it wasn't.
I asked him if he thought that was outrageous and he replied that he didn't give a shit - it made absolutely no difference to him as to how that crime was recorded.
And then it hit me that that's the very reason why it didn't make the news...men just don't care. It doesn't affect them or make them feel uncomfortable about the erosion of a sex, because it's not their sex. It's utterly depressing and a massive step backwards.

Because it suited the trans agenda to have Brianna painted as a victim BECAUSE Brianna was trans.

However, that was not the reason Brianna was murdered - Brianna was one of half a dozen people on a list (none of the others were trans) apparently chosen because they were vulnerable and easy to isolate and to kill. That poor child was murdered because of their isolation.

So - when it reflects badly on the trans community (Scarlett Blake) then transness is NOT highlighted.

When it can be weaponised by the trans community (Brianna They) transness is emphasised.

the wording where it has been disclosed has been very careful and about specific things raised in the trial rather than about her gender overall.

HIS gender.

Unfortunately we know what the SEX of the officers who - often intimately - searched these "women booking in as men" would be.

You can bet your life there wouldn't be a transman officer available to do the necessary.

Absolutely. Also that all previously falsified legal documents and statistics are corrected.

I see this too - I think men don't think they'd be fooled millions of male tourists visiting Thai bars might disagree and don't seem to equate the idea this man was murdered by someone using the appearance of being a woman out at night as a disabling factor. How would he feel if he stopped in the middle of nowhere to help someone who appeared to be a woman fix a tyre in the dark, only to find it was a man in a wig wielding a wrench?

And this is why gender identity in data collection over biological sex does not work...

Apart from the huge injustice of attributing crimes to women that have actually been carried out by men in frocks, what is the point of deliberately creating data that is just plain wrong and misleading.

What is the data then used for? funding decisions, allocation of personnel, where to allocate resources? Doesn't the phrase garbage in garbage out have a bearing on this issue.

Quite. Either the data are important for [X] purposes, and therefore need be accurate. Or they are never used for anything, so we shouldn't waste time and resources on recording them.

Doesn't the phrase garbage in garbage out have a bearing on this issue.

Exactly.

Seeing comments on X that Scarlet was a Tavistock ‘graduate’… perhaps more evidence that these children/YAs need help and therapy, not affirmation and medicalisation.

No.10 has an opinion, except they think a piece of paper can change a person's sex.

The statement from the Police SEEN is thoughtful, this indulging this nonsense is taking the focus away from the victim.

You think if the Government were genuinely listening to GC groups, that they would have made that change ages ago.

But someone who is same sex attracted is a reality. That person is attracted to the same sex as they are. It’s factual.

Identifying as a sex you are not is not factual or reality.

fundamental difference

Or to say the same thing a slightly different way... no-ones' identity, self-knowledge, marriage or experience of love or sexual desire had to be redefined or denied in order to accept the existence and validity of LGB identities, self knowledge, marriage, love or sexual desire.

In order to accept TWAW and TMAM, the meaning of "man" and "woman" has to be written for all of humanity, imposing on to every single one of us the assumption that our minds are "womanly", "manly" or "non-binary" regardless of whether this aligns with our actual self knowledge and life experience.

Can someone do a government petition, please? I can’t because of my job but all the other kinds of petitions are merely performative and hot air. A gov one with 100k signatures gets a debate which would be a nudge towards changing laws. Reading between the lines of the Thames Valley police head’s chief, that is what he is asking for.

Thames Valley Police didn't book Blake in as a cat then?

Absolutely

There was a thread on AIBU earlier this afternoon on Blake which was trending enough to get into the top 5. And now it seems to have disappeared.

They didn’t even chuck it into the naughty corner here. Anyone know if it was just deleted?

I complained to the BBC about their coverage of Blake, not mentioning he is a man. This is their pathetic response. You need to tap on the photo to see the whole thing.

So it's not just this specific item that needs fixing but the 'style guidelines' as a whole since evidently they aren't sufficiently emphasising clarity and accuracy.

People don't all correctly understand phrases like 'transgender woman' - anyone rational may assume it means a female who is trans rather than a male.

Exactly. I’ll reference this in addition to further comments when I follow up the complaint response in ‘stage 1b’ 🙄

I received a reply from the BBC too. Mine coupled the fact that Blake was referred to throughout the trial with she/her pronouns as a guiding factor, ie because the court honoured Blake’s request their guidances dictates they should also honour that. This means that had Blake chosen to be cat gender, they’d have referred accordingly … madness!
