A transgender woman who was convicted of rape in 1998 when she was a man was today jailed for nine years for stabbing another trans woman in the home they shared.

Zara Jade, 54, slashed her victim in the arm and abdomen while she sat on her knee. She then used the leggings to strap her ankles, knees, chest and arms to the electrically powered chair before tilting her back and switching off the power.

Bradford Crown Court heard how her victim remained fixed in place for a few hours at their shared flat in Halifax while Jade used her card to withdraw £300 before later untying her.

Jade pleaded guilty to wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, robbery, fraud and false imprisonment.

He’s still a man. Why are the press pandering to this fucking nonsense?

Assuming that the press isn't onboard with the nonsense? Probably to avoid getting bent over in court for hate speech or something like that.

Yeah, it is remarkable how a conservative paper like the Daily Mail goes along with this shit though.

OfCom don’t regulate print media though, just radio and TV.
