BBC at it again withholding fact ‘woman’ charged with murdering husband is trans

[Heylo]

You know what to do Mumsnet. BBC apologised previously because of mass complaints about sick cat killer Scarlett Blake not being referred to as trans and just being referred to as she / woman in original article. They’re now at it again.

this person arrested for killing husband with samurai sword.

complain and let’s get a precedent set, these are not our crimes!

We value your input and have noted your concerns.

So let's get this straight - men's crimes being wrongly attributed to women is a smaller issue for you than women drawing attention to the fact that this is happening?

And I’m getting the vibe that any time a violent “woman” turns out to be a man, some people are quick to try to get women to STFU about it.

I wonder what religion the killer was, we need to know this given the level of islamaphobia we see.

If the person has legally transitioned then the article is not wrong. The fact people are promoting the far right Daily Mail says it all........

*islamophobia

This is a bit like when a third generation British person commits a crime and people want to identify them as the same race as their grandparents.

Why? Is there a statistical correlation between religion and domestic violence like the one between sex and domestic violence?

This obsession with what genitals people have is really odd.

Why? Is there a statistical correlation between your granparents' place of birth and your propensity to domestic violence like there is between sex and domestic violence?

Males commit 85% of all violent crimes and 99% of all sexual assaults.

That's why feminists are 'obsessed with what genitals people have'.

If the gentials you were born with hs a strong correlation to your propensity to commit domestic violence then yes, it's significant. Why would you want to reduce the quality of information available to research violence against women and girls?

I think if people put more effort into supporting and helping victims than trying to profile the perps then we would be better off.

Genitalia isn't the only the difference between men and women size, strength, grip, reach all different. Offending patterns, typical MOs different.
You are the first person on the thread to mention genitals.

This obsession also triggers the nutty MRA types who then become as equally good obsessed about providing "evidence" of how awful women are.

I wish people would put more effort into understanding the causes and risk factors for domestic violence so more of it can be prevented than worrying about hurting the feelings of those who commit it.

I think a better idea for a thread would be about how we can provide support to victims. This can include highlighting support services.

If men didn’t murder we’d be better off. Stop making women responsible for men’s crimes.

Right, well, that's me off to bed. Thanks for keeping the thread bumped, folks!

Don't forget - complain early, complain often!

The truth is that all crimes are committed by criminals. 100 percent of them.

on the contrary 'trying to profile the perps' is extremely relevant to supporting victims and protecting potential victims from harm

as you would know if you had any genuine interest in domestic abuse

Do feel free to start one!

Feel free to start your own. Post a link to it here and we’ll post on it. I mean, assuming that is what you’re actually concerned about.
