Thursday, 21st of December 2023

Yesterday (20/12/23), two fifteen-year-olds, referred to only as Girl X and Boy Y in court, were found guilty of the murder of 16 year old trans girl, Brianna Ghey. Mrs Justice Yip on the trial has now stated the two can be identified when they are sentenced next year.

On Saturday, 15th of February 2023, Brianna Ghey was found stabbed 28 times in a park in Warrington. She was pronounced dead by paramedics roughly one hour after she was found, and her killers were arrested within 24 hours of the murder. Early into the investigation, investigators said there was little evidence linking Brianna's identity as a trans woman to her murder, stating they had "no information or intelligence to suggest" it was a hate crime. At this point in the investigation, police had restored deleted WhatsApp messages between the two convicted, revealing that they had spoken about killing five people, one of whom was Brianna Ghey. Detective Chief Superintendent Mike Evans of Chesire Police said "“I think if it hadn’t been Brianna, it would have been one of the other four children on that list."

Brianna was first mentioned by Girl X about two months before her death, and, according to police, seemed to be "obsessed" with her. Boy Y responded with some "horrific, dehumanising, and transphobic" language, using transphobic slurs to refer Brianna, and almost exclusively calling her 'it'. In one of his messages to Girl X, he wrote, "I want to see if it will scream like a man or a girl”.

Chesire Police said that Girl X had attempted to kill Brianna before, and had told Boy Y that she had given Brianna ibuprofen tablets earlier that year. Brianna's mother, Esther Ghey, said that Brianna had had to stay home from school at the time due to being extremely unwell, though she did recover. The messages also reportedly showed that Girl X asked Boy Y for other methods to kill Brianna when the tablets did not work. Girl X's defence during the recent 18-day trial said this was part of a fantasy the two teenagers had shared.

Both suspects pled not guilty to the murder, however after a jury deliberation of over four hours, Brianna's killers were found guilty of murder.

On Thursday, 21st of December, the judge on the trial said that the defendants can be named when they are sentenced in February next year, an exception made due to "strong public interest".

Well, I'm back... Not really any further forward and maybe a few steps back 😞 Mental health is heading towards the basement, physical niggles have decided to join in the party and some of the people around me are annoying the hell out of me...

BUT, I'm still here and working through things. I might not be where I want to be, but I'll carry on carrying on!

PM Rishi Sunak makes 'insensitive' comment on transgender women, whilst the mother of 16-year-old murdered trans teen Brianna Ghey attends Parliament

Recent responses to the PM's remarks have called for him to formally apologise.

During the Prime Minister's Questions this evening, PM Rishi Sunak, whilst highlighting the 'broken promises' of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, made a crude jibe about transgender women, one that has been met with backlash from the Labour Party, Brianna's father, and the public.

On Wednesday afternoon, Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer met with Esther Ghey, mother of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey, a trans teenager who was killed by two other teens in February of last year. Earlier this month, the names of Brianna's killers were released, with the judge of their trial designating transphobia as a motive for Brianna's murder.

In the House of Commons, during a parliamentary session that Brianna's mother was in attendance to, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, made a comment in regards to Sir Keir Starmer's position as Labour leader. Amongst other jibes, listing Starmer's 'broken promises' Sunak said:

"It's a bit rich, (addressing the Speaker) to hear about promises from someone that's broken every single promise he was elected on! I think I counted thirty in the last year. Pensions, planning, periges*, public sector pay. Tuition fees, childcare, second referendums. Defining a woman– although, in fairness, that was only 99% of a U-turn".

Starmer replied by reminding Sunak that Brianna's mother was present, describing him as 'parading as a man of integrity', which was met with calls of 'Shame!' in the chamber. Ater being asked to apologise by another MP, the Prime Minister called Brianna's death an "unspeakable and shocking tragedy", yet did not give any apology for his remark.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has claimed that Sunak's comment was 'taken out of context'

Short Guy Life Hack! 🧠 Hollister shirts are a great size for people with a small build! I'm 5'5, have narrow shoulders (working on it tho 💪 ), short torso and slim build. When buying shirts, it always feels like a battle between what fits at the shoulders, doesn't go down to my knees or overly cling to my hips 🙄 The @hollisterco muscle fit stretch shirts are basically the only ones I own that actually fit me properly 😅 Anybody got any other fashion tips for short guys?

Hi all and happy #dressupnotdown day to you all. It is still warm here (19 °C according to someone’s internet enabled weather station). Additionally it’s school run day for me as due to the wife getting a teaching assistant job (woooo), the little sproglette pumpkin has different taxi drivers these days. Today it was me to do the school run so obvs had to make a little effort to be presentable. In other news, it’s that time of year when Sproglette is thinking of Father Christmas’ visit and she’s made her list already. In other other need, based on a few conversations this past week I’ve realised I’ve been spending too much time on the wrong things and life is just a little cluttered. Not planning anything drastic but need to focus on a little more for what I need to do. #nonbinary #outfitoftheday #genderfluid #workwear #transgender #girlslikeus #boyswillbegirls #m2f #m2ftransgender #trans #transwoman #mtf #transuk #mtftransgender https://www.instagram.com/p/CUHpVznITS8/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've decided to ask my lgbt friendly niece to speak to my mother on my behalf, to try and get her to chill the fuck out.

I deserve acceptance and love, we don't always get that though. At the moment I'd be happy with her keeping her nasty thoughts to herself.

The Labour Party's Shadow Health Secretary has pledged to 'simplify' the Gender Recognition Certificate process for the 'very small number' of people who register.

With just over one week until the UK General Election, The Labour Party's Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting pledges to 'simplify' the current 'degrading' and 'torturous' processes required for transgender people to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC). Streeting says the policy will still require transgender applicants to recieve a diagnosis of 'gender dysphoria'.

Streeting: "At the moment, in order to obtain a gender recognition certificate, trans people have to go through a process that I think they feel is quite degrading and torturous in terms of the requirements that are placed on them in order to demonstrate their living their lives in their assumed gender, and what we want to do is to simplify the process by still requiring a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, in order to obtain legal recognition, so a doctor would still be involved, but trying to take out some of that unnecessary and degrading part of the process, so that trans people can, who want a gender recognition certificate, so we're talking about a very small number of people here, but to make sure that they have an experience that is much more respectful."

GRCs are the main route for UK transgender people to take in order to have their affirmed gender legally recognised. Certificates allow for UK-registered birth/adoption certificates to be updated, for transgender people to marry in their affirmed gender, and for their affirmed gender to be on their death certificate. The only certificates that can be obtained are male and female, as non binary genders are currently not legally recognised in the UK.

GRCs are, however, often difficult to obtain, as they require many criteria such as a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria, two reports from either two medical doctors, or a medical doctor and a clinical psychologist. One report must detail any gender affirming care the trans person in question has had or plans to have. They must also provide evidence of living in their affirmed gender for a minimum of the last two years. The evidence must all be presented to a Gender Recognition Panel, made up of people with legal or medical qualifications, who will make a decision based on whether an application meets all the legal requirements. The process costs £5 and if the application is unsuccessful, the applicant will not be refunded.

Wes Streeting did not elaborate on how Labour will simplify the Gender Recognition process for transgender people.
