Despite ALL CAPS we can see he’s not A WOMAN.
Maddison Wilson, 37, who identifies as a woman, made her first appearance at Southampton Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday in a five-minute hearing.
He can identify as a pissoir if he wants to, but that doesn’t mean he is one. He’s not a woman, either.

Is the victim a boy or a girl? Headline says girl, body evidently says boy.
Who knows. It was probably a blanket.
Looks like there were several incidents; two charges in Southampton involving boys, and two charges in Hull involving girls.

Sigh.
Trying to understand insanity is probably unhealthy.
“Wearing a pink headband and all-black clothing” FFS. Did the intern assigned to the story forget to make the mandatory observation that he looked stunning in that outfit?
