Can we belief the media anymore? These days, everytime you see a information report a few notably violent or perverted ‘lady’, you possibly can safely wager that 9 occasions out of 10, the offender is definitely a person.

The most recent instance is the colourfully named ‘Katana Paris’. This week, a now-deleted put up from the Mirror did the rounds on X (previously Twitter) with the story: ‘Girl jailed for nurse intercourse assault groped feminine guards as they served her meals.’ Hooked up was an image of the offender, Paris, who is sort of clearly a bloke in a grotty-looking blonde wig.

Paris, because it seems, has convictions for 87 earlier offences, principally numerous sorts of sexual assault. His most up-to-date stint in jail was for attacking a nurse. He obtained a three-year sentence for, within the phrases of the Mirror, ‘pulling a nurse in the direction of her [sic] genitals whereas in hospital’.

Now Paris has been given an additional six months on high of that. This time, it was for assaulting three jail guards as they served him meals in his cell. Paris first grabbed the genitals of a feminine guard, after which later did the identical to a male guard. In response to the Mirror, Paris ‘jumped up and down like she [sic] was excited’.

The Mirror’s use of feminine pronouns and the phrase ‘lady’ has not fooled anybody. As a ‘group be aware’ on X helpfully factors out beneath the put up: ‘This isn’t a lady. It is a man.’

So why are the media doing this? The Mirror has at the very least managed to keep away from utilizing the broadly mocked phrase ‘her penis’. However ‘her genitals’? Come on. Everyone knows what’s actually occurring on this story.

Due to the rise of gender ideology, the media are treating a perverted man’s fantasy – that he’s a lady, slightly than a person – as if it had been a truth. They’ve positioned the subjective emotions of a intercourse offender above observable actuality.

It’s time for the information media to cease pandering to perverts.
