I work in a Court. Our policy states we have to use preferred pronouns. I have complied previously, I am never going to do this again. These are not our crimes and this man is not a woman.

"Carla Adams, of Gateshead and formerly known as Carl Adams, had recently begun transitioning from a man to a woman when the attack happened in Newcastle" - this reads as if the attack happened to Adams, not that Adams was the attacker.

Dear god in heaven. I swear they get nicked and go ‘I’ll have an easier time as a woman’, pick a name while en route to custody and voilà - they’re now ‘a woman’.

I bet they’ll change their tune if all women suddenly went ‘nah, I’m a man’ & started wanting equal pay, the right to walk at night without fear of being raped etc. (&yes I know we’re campaigning for both but you get what mean) & also went on a total sex strike until this nonsense is knocked on the head. Properly.

I mean, I was a teen in the 80s. Men had been openly wearing makeup my entire life (glam rock & new wave, anyone?) & people like Bowie never said they were women, they just got on with dressing however the hell they wanted. Now if they want to wear eyeliner they’re suddenly a woman, not just a Robert Smith fan.

Another paper printing lies, he's a he not a she, what's the use of newspapers if all they do is print mis-information. 🤬

I hope he won't be self ID'ing into a women's homeless shelter 😟

150 previous convictions. This man shouldn't have been out on the streets at all.

"When the attack happened" as if it's just some random weather and not something a man chose to do and then did

Although to be fair this style of reporting is common with male violence.

I found the write up very confusing throughout, aside the pronouns

150 previous convictions, including 18 for violence.

The fucking state of him. More fool the idiots that pander to him. NO as a complete sentence should have been used for this crap long ago.

Feminism is about equity for women and girls.

Quite! I mean "equality for all genders"
blah blah. Feminism is not your mum

A perfect advert for avoiding like the plague helpdeskme. What a ridiculous answer.

I read this yesterday, he's local to me, as is the shitty nappies on the nursery milk bloke. The Chronic always sucks up to them like this.

Of all the posts to delete, why that one? Nothing wrong with letting ignorance stand so that it can be refuted.

By the looks of things, he started his transition some time during the journey to the nick after he's been arrested.

It’s just gotten so out of hand now. This is where #bekind gets us.

I think there should be a handy card with all these men’s faces to give to anyone telling us to play nicely and let the TW join the wimmin.

I wish they’d stop using this ridiculous ‘transitioning from a man to a woman’ phrase. That’s not a thing that can happen, newspapers shouldn’t print fantasy as if it was fact.
