The grotesque case of Scarlet Blake actually ought to have been the final straw. We have turn out to be all too numb to the best way the police, the courts and the media have adopted the popular pronouns of harmful and predatory males. How male perverts, paedophiles and rapists are actually routinely handled as ladies, primarily based on their self-declared identities. You may need hoped that the sheer depravity of Blake’s crimes, and the depths of his psychological delusions, would jolt our elites into sanity. But you’d be unsuitable. In the wall-to-wall protection of Blake’s crimes, he’s persistently known as a ‘woman’.
Last week, 26-year-old Blake was discovered responsible of murdering 30-year-old Jorge Martin Carreno. One evening in July of 2021, Blake got here throughout Carreno whereas he was on an evening out in Oxford, and lured him to a secluded riverbank. Blake then hit this whole stranger over the top with a bottle of vodka, strangled him, then pushed him into the river to drown.
For two years, Carreno’s homicide went unsolved. Coroners and Thames Valley Police officers speculated that Carreno had killed himself or had merely fallen into the water whereas drunk. But Carreno’s family and friends discovered this tough to simply accept. It was solely when, in 2023, police obtained a mysterious cellphone name from a transgender escort in Texas that the reality about Carreno’s dying got here to gentle.
The escort was Ashlynn Bell, Blake’s former accomplice. Bell instructed the police how, after the pair bought into an argument, Blake divulged the grisly particulars of the homicide.
Like Bell, Blake was born male however recognized as a girl. The two additionally shared a morbid fascination with violence and dying. They talked incessantly about their urges to hurt themselves and others. Bell additionally had an in depth assortment of weapons and an curiosity in Nazi memorabilia. They shared memes in Discord servers about their obsessions with numerous feminine serial killers and mass shooters. According to the prosecution, Blake felt ‘sexual gratification’ from the concept of killing.
Even extra disturbingly, Bell revealed that, solely 4 months earlier than killing Carreno, Blake had filmed a video of himself mutilating and dissecting a neighbour’s cat. Shockingly, he smiled and laughed as he put the cat’s physique via a blender.
Clearly, these wicked acts had been the product of a deeply disturbed thoughts. During the trial, the court docket heard concerning the full scale of Blake’s mental-health points. He has been identified with despair. He claimed that he suffers from some sort of multiple-personality dysfunction (though no skilled has confirmed this). He commonly referred to as himself ‘we’ or ‘us’ and used completely different names to consult with his completely different personas.
Blake even instructed jurors that certainly one of his personas was a cat. Literally. To reveal this, he meowed on the jury. He additionally meowed in the course of the video the place he murdered his neighbour’s cat.
Prior to this, when he was arrested, Blake instructed officers that he was microchipped, like a cat can be. He defined that they might scan the chip to search out all his particulars. Shockingly, this really turned out to be true. There was a pet microchip implanted in his chest.
This week, Blake was sentenced to life in jail. Thankfully, he will likely be housed in a high-security males’s jail and never in a feminine property, as so typically occurs with trans-identifying criminals.
But whereas the jail system is fortunately not treating Blake as a girl, the media have overwhelmingly bowed right down to his delusions about his gender. Headlines from the Mirror, Sky News and the Independent all talked concerning the ‘“Cat killer” woman’. In some experiences of Blake’s crimes, like ITV’s, you’ll should get a number of paragraphs in earlier than there’s any point out that this ‘woman’ is trans. Most experiences – together with on BBC News – don’t point out this in any respect. He is introduced merely as a ‘woman’, with out qualification.
Everyone appears to be in settlement that Blake is mentally disturbed and delusional. No one has felt compelled to explain him as a ‘cat’, regardless of the actual fact he generally identifies as one. No one has felt the necessity to acknowledge the opposite personas that he claims he shares his head with. And but, almost your complete mainstream media have fortunately repeated his equally false declare that he’s a girl and never a person.
Herein lies the insanity of the trans ideology. It asks us to disregard organic actuality. And as an alternative, it expects us to pander to the fantasies of even probably the most harmful and mentally unstable criminals. The grim case of the cat killer certainly must be the restrict.
