Yesterday, my colleague at Transgender News, Meryl, posted a story (”Prostitute had £14,000 on body”) from the BBC News website to the group …

A transsexual prostitute was stopped at Belfast City Airport with
£14,000 hidden around his body last week, Belfast Magistrates Court
has heard.

Malaysian national Nor Azmi Bin Mohammad, 31, is understood to have
been charging clients 350 euros an hour for his services while working
in NI.

A forfeiture order for the seized cash was granted because he did not
have legal immigration status.

Today, that “same” story on its website reads like this …

Props to Helen who wrote the BBC (and who let me know about the change) to say “small detail, but even an alleged prostitute deserves the basic human dignity and respect of being correctly gendered.”

Can’t say I disagree with that … and, evidently, nor could the BBC.

Now, who’s going to get in touch with the Belfast Telegraph?
