QuoteThe Home Office has announced longer jail sentences for murders motivated by hostility to a transgender person.

In September this year Leon Fyle, 23, was jailed for life for the murder of Destiny Lauren, a pre-operative transgender person who worked as a prostitute.

The use of the term person is quite provokative from the BBC. If we ignore it, it could become a norm. If we mention it, we open ourselves up to oversensitivity.
'Are you saying this isn't a person?' sort of thing.
But nice to see this progress from the government. Also the recognition of some of the problems of transgender people.

Out in what, 5 years?
Nah, wouldn't get out that early in any circumstance even on the 15 year sentence
