You remember this story from @LancsLive about the "Blackpool woman" with the Julie "alias John" Marshall convicted for the making more than 80,000 indecent images of children over a 14-year period 
@AlessandraAster wrote to the editor and asked if they had got the sex right.
The editor said the court confirmed that Marshall is legally a woman and it would be in breach of them to call someone who is legally a woman a man
The editor said the court confirmed that Marshall is legally a woman and it would be in breach of them to call someone who is legally a woman a man
It turns out the court records show that Marshall is legally male
As clause 12 of the IPSO code states an individual’s gender identity must not be referenced unless genuinely relevant to the story.
@LancsLive should therefore have referred to Marshall by the correct sex and should make a correction.
