Ghey not gay
A transgender girl was stabbed to death in Warrington, Cheshire, a few days ago, in what may've been a hate crime. Police are exploring all lines of inquiry
as to motive, but that hasn't stopped transgender activists from leaping to the conclusion that best favours their special and victimised me-me-me
viewpoint, cynically exploiting a child's murder in furtherance of their political agenda. (trannie)
Anyhow, that bastion of British journalism, The Times, caught the wrath of the righteously indignant for another transgression: deadnaming
the victim, Brianna Ghey.
Brianna was born as Brett…

They soon learned their sorry lesson in only reporting what the coddled queers see fit, and corrected their shocking error.
Brianna had been living as a girl for several months…

Personally, I think Brettany would've been a better feminisation of Brett; Brianna's more of a Brian, and who wants to be a Brian? If she was looking for a clean break from her birth status, then a name beginning not only with B
, but Br
, doesn't seem like a great choice; so I can only assume she wasn't.
At first, I thought she'd also changed her last name; I'd never come across Ghey before—other than for getting gay
past fee-fees filters or emphasising its third meaning—and it seems too apposite not to be made-up. Yet it turns out to be a real family name; so, yeah, you live 'n' learn.
All that frivolousness aside though, she seems to have been a sweet and beautiful child with a lot of potential. She was only a little older than my youngest daughter; that's really no age to die, especially so violently.
RIP Brianna Ghey. (crying)
In what may come as a blow to the trannies' claim to a h8cryme, it appears that Brianna was not the only potential target contemplated by her killers; at least four other children were also considered for murder. Unless they were all transgender—which seems unlikely, even for current-day Britain—then it's probable that she was killed simply because she happened to be the unlucky victim chosen on the day by two psychopaths [not a professional diagnosis].
The trial heard X had talked about killing another child [in addition to child R], known as E, as well as two others but she said child E was the easiest target. "I want him to suffer. I want him to feel the pain of the knife," she said. X said if they could not kill E, they could instead kill Brianna, the jury was told.

Still, I'm sure that won't stop their rhetoric; and the supine among the media and politicos will dutifully grab their ankles in acquiescence. (trannie)
I've only read of Brianna's death and her murderers' trial before now, I'd not actually listened to any of the mainstream media reportage until their sentencing today. So it came as news to me that, while Ghey can be pronounced as it appears, gay
, her family prefers a different pronunciation. And who can blame them really?
Having said that, if I'd been Mr Ghey, I'd probably have taken my wife's surname on marriage. Unless it was something like Poof—pronounced as Puth, to rhyme with
.tooth
It reminds me of a man who knows his onions. And of a Spitting Image sketch. The lead-in is with a newsreader—Alastair Burnet as it happens—questioning why people are pronouncing Uranus oo ran us
rather than yer anus
. It ends with an announcement concerning Jupiter's outer moon, Bumhole, pronounced byoom holy
. And it can be found on YouTube.
