Yep, it's a British case. Which is probably why this idiot is finding most people don't know what the hell she is on about.

But I also don't know why they are using "sayhername" because her name has been all over the news and social media for days. Maybe because the phrase contains "her".

Social media hashtag mentality. From what I saw about the case details are rather light but the LGBTQIA+ lobby in the UK is jumping on it with social media awareness campaigns.

They’re doing it all because they’ve just been handed their arses by the Scottish Trans Rapist mess - the result of which was finding out that the general public, that is the world beyond twitter, doesn’t give a shit about them but doesn’t want them in women’s spaces. Using this murder is beyond cynical, and they deserve to get slapped for using the murder of a kid to push their politics.

Yeah what little I saw of it seemed like very blatant political action.

I've not seen any details about the murder itself. Save that the kids body was found in a park. And now two other teens have been arrested. Disturbing stuff. Racial and sexual identities of those involved seem irrelevant at this time.

The police were quick to say it wasn’t a hate crime, presumably because they knew who did it. Unfortunately, this angered the TRAs who have insisted that it was motivated by transphobia with no evidence.

I doubt we will find anything out until the trial due to the strict sub judice rules restricting what can be reported, I foresee another trial where lots of twitter users get slapped with contempt charges when they break the rules.

This kid had a lot of social media so the bullying is there for everyone to see.

The fact they have been bullied for years but only transitioned a couple of months ago doesn't line up as it being transphobic bullying.

I almost wonder if it’s a reverse situation: that he transitioned to get OUT of the bullying and put some distance between him and the bullies. He’d probably be heard more too, now that he’d be under a marginalized group.

Yes it definitely seems like a crime of this nature they will want to be very careful with the public opinion mob.
