Spreading lies

 When this report in the Guardian was first published, there was no mention of the killer being a transgender woman. After many complaints it was amended.  

Scarlet Blake, 26, targeted Jorge Martin Carreno, 30, as he walked home from a night out in Oxford in July 2021.

Blake, who is a transgender woman, led him to a secluded riverbank where he was hit on the back of the head with a vodka bottle, strangled and then pushed into the River Cherwell, where he drowned.

From thereon after, throughout the rest of the article, Blake is referred to as 'she'. Blake is a man. This is why it is so important to to get the reporting right. The Guardian are spreading lies. They are being paid to.
