Interesting terminology from the BBC.

 

Even though the person in question is unashamedly "transgender" and in the process of "transitioning", the article describes them as a man "dressed as a woman" and consistently refers to the person as "he".

 

All of which, I have come to understand from reading various BBC articles, in this day and age is seriously transphobic.

 

I wonder what the difference is in this case???

That only applies if they are the 'good' type of trans. Not the disgusting pedophile sexual predator types.

"At the time of his arrest, he was presenting as Amy George but confirmed he wished to be addressed as Andrew Miller using "he" pronouns for simplicity."

Yes I saw that, but I'd have thought the BBC of all organisations would have been determined to use the appropriate modern, diverse, all-inclusive terminology, that they use for every other transgender related article (and there are many!) that they publish.

I see your butcher's case has made it to court!

Andrew Miller, also known as Amy George, sexually assaulted the primary school girl for 27 hours after taking her to his home.

 

 

Mate showed me an article at work today about it, had a mugshot from prison and it does appear like he's getting a decent daily beating. It'll never happen but I hope they throw away the key.

Apparently the black eye was from when he got arrested!! :w00t:

 

 

Poor guy probably tripped up on his shoelace or something

If there's any justice he'll be tripping over his laces for the rest of his days

I guess you doubt the 'Mothering' aspect now, huh?
