Why is her being transgender important ?I was so revolted by this case, I consciously avoided any of the detail, just picking up snippets reported on the news etc, or through headlines. But I was finding it really difficult to imagine a woman committing these acts. I do know there have been evil women that have committed awful crimes (Myra Hindley, Rose West etc) but the idea of a woman as a solitary figure stalking the streets looking for a random victim to murder, (having previously sadistically killed a cat) seemed unbelievable. And so it turned out to be.
It was only today, reading about the sentencing of the violent psychopath Scarlet Blake, that I picked up the fact she was a transgender woman. ie biologically male. I see a female journalist is now refusing to work ever again for the Guardian because its entire reporting of this case concealed this important fact. When plain facts and truths become inconvenient or unable to be told we really are in trouble.
What a fucked-up world we live in.

Because, overwhelmingly, random stalker violent murderers are biological males - as it was in this case. It’s just that our media decided to be “economical with the truth”.Why is her being transgender important ?
I guess beyond the fact that the murderer has been apprehended and jailed and is no longer a threat nothing is particularly important. But is it noteworthy and of interest to people reading the news? I would suggest yes, All sexual murderers of strangers are very rare but those born female are exceptionally rare indeed it is probably therefore noteworthy that this particular person was not born female and had some very unpleasant characteristics more common in the sex that they were born rather than the one they identified as.Why is her being transgender important ?
