It’s a FEMALE who identifies as a MALE.
I don't think that could be accurate. First of all, you can always tell what someone really is, especially if it's a corpse. But more importantly, if the murdering It was actually a woman, there's no way they'd be calling it a woman. That would be, like, dead-sexing the It--right?
Very dead, in this case.
And God rest Its soul, and the souls of the innocents It murdered.
The police identified her as female because she hadn't legally changed her name and hadn't had the operation.
There's a lesson to be learned here about waiting until the facts come out before posting, but the people who need to learn the lesson won't.
