When reporting becomes incoherent:

A trans woman has been jailed for six and a half years after being found guilty of rape following a night out. Lexi Secker raped a woman in Blunsdon, Wiltshire, on 23 April 2023. The attack took place before Secker began identifying as a woman.

Might as well say the attack took place before Secker began identifying as a potato. His penis doesn’t retroactively disappear once he starts “identifying as” a woman.

Secker, 35, of Lowbourne, near Melksham, has been ordered to carry out her sentence in a male prison and will remain on the sex offenders register indefinitely.

Don’t “respect the pronouns” of men who rape women.

Throughout the sentencing hearing, barristers and the judge referred to the defendant as “Ms Secker” and “she”. However, in a victim personal statement, the woman raped by Secker used the name “Alex” to describe her attacker. She said: “He took away my trust in people and myself. The assault consumed me with shame and fear.”

It’s interesting to see the Beeb pointing out the “Ms Secker” and “she” bit. Pointing it out=it’s odd (at least) and needs explanation. Usually the Beeb doesn’t like admitting that.

The court heard how Secker has depression and gender dysphoria and requires psychological and medical treatment. Secker has also been subjected to numerous assaults while being held at a male prison, it was alleged.

As the defendant is biologically male, they will serve their sentence in a male prison.

Stone the crows – the BBC admits he’s biologically male.

Also – they will serve their sentence? But up at the top of the page it was “her” sentence, not “their” sentence. Covering all the bases are we? Or confused? Or scared? What’s up, Beeb? You can tell us.

The judge told Secker: “At the time of this offence, you were a man.”

Yo, judge. Once a man always a man.

Wiltshire Police previously said Secker was living as a man when the attack took place, on April 23 2023, but was tried as a woman at Swindon Crown Court. The force confirmed that the rape was recorded as being committed by a man. The sex of a defendant recorded by police at the time of their arrest will mirror what is on court records and other criminal justice system data.

How about just recording the actual sex, every time? Saves trouble in the end.
