Seems like Scotland has at least one story a week about a TIM freak. I’m just glad that girl was found and has been returned to her family.

A 53-year-old crossdressing butcher has been arrested in connection with the disappearance of an 11-year-old girl in the Galashiels area of Scotland. 

The girl was reported missing by her family on Sunday, February 5, after failing to return home following a play date with friends. Police said she was around a “20 minute walk from home” before she disappeared without a trace, prompting a massive multi-agency operation into locating the child. Countless volunteers took to the streets in a bid to find the youngster.

Earlier today, Police Scotland announced the child had been found safe and uninjured after having been missing for approximately 27 hours. She has since been reunited with her family. Police have cordoned off the property where she was found in Montgomerie Terrace in the village of Gattonside, and announced they had arrested a man in connection with the girl’s disappearance.

Local sources have named the individual arrested as Andrew Miller, a local butcher. One anonymous source from the community passed on to Reduxx that Miller was known in the area as a “crossdresser.”

Miller is the owner of Miller Butchers of Melrose, a poorly-rated meat shop which recently shut down. The shop, however, was briefly mentioned in a JK Rowling crime novel published under her pen name “Robert Galbraith.” Miller Butchers of Melrose briefly displayed the short excerpt from Career of Evil in the shop’s window, along with a framed photo of Rowling. It is unknown when the display was removed.

Reduxx has found two Facebook profiles belonging to Miller, one of which utilizes a “female” identity under the name “Amy George.” Miller appears to have operated the accounts simultaneously, posting on both his “male” and “female” identified accounts.

Using the name “Amy George,” Miller claimed ownership of the Miller Butchers of Melrose in his Facebook profile information. But on his “male” account, Miller announced he was shutting his store down on January 4 after having been passed down through the Miller family for 4 generations.

Miller posted content on both of his Facebook accounts, with his “female” identity primarily uploading links to music videos and heavily-filtered selfies. The “Amy George” account was established in 2010.

Miller’s transvestic tendencies were apparently well-known within his community. A source local to Miller told Reduxx that he had been labelled “tranny Miller” while in high school because of his proclivity for cross-dressing, and that he had been known as a “knicker pincher” even as a student.

After graduating, Miller apparently began occasionally dressing in women’s clothes both in the community and in his butcher shop. Two sources independently claimed that Miller had past contact with police for stealing women’s undergarments from clotheslines. 

Miller reportedly also had a wife and children, but their current whereabouts are unknown.

“I think they split up years ago! Don’t think he sees his kids. They are adults now. He was dressing full-time as a woman for a while. Latterly, when his butcher’s shop was open, he was always dressed as Amy, not Andrew,” one member of the community told Reduxx.

In January of 2020, Miller posted that he was a “single woman,” and was seeking other “single women.”

Miller occasionally re-affirmed his “feminine” identity on the “Amy George” account, declaring his name and gender identity. In January of 2020, Miller posted on teaching children to explore their identities.

“That simple question that we ask ourselves… who am I? Deliver that same question to your children. Let them be themselves. Guide them, but not with boundaries. Teach them, but not with misguided morals. Love them and let them know and feel that they are loved, because that is the greatest gift of all,” Miller posted as “Amy George” in January of 2020.

Weeks later, Miller posted about himself, writing: “I’ve been butchering for 50 years personally now. 22 in Jedburgh. 28 years in Melrose. I come from a family of butchers. I have won many awards in butchery and in cuisine cooking skills. I am Amy G. Miller.”

Though he posted on his “Amy George” account regularly and made it clear who he was and where he worked, Miller also continued to utilize his other Facebook account, still under his birth name.

In January of this year, Miller made a post alluding to the debacle surrounding Scotland’s Gender Recognition Act.

“Silly Billys [sic] in Westminster… Never mess with Scottish Transgender Issues,” Miller wrote just days after the UK Government moved to block a piece of Scottish legislation which sought to significantly relax the requirements for individuals to change their legal sex in Scotland.

Some of the final posts made on Miller’s “male” account were from just weeks ago, and featured cryptic messages. 

“If you don’t want the world to see you, because they wouldn’t understand. Everything is made to be broken,” Miller wrote, revising the lyrics to the Goo Goo Dolls’ 1998 track, Iris.

“But if if [sic] you don’t… goodbye. Hey, that’s life,” Miller wrote in another stand-alone post.

“You can’t have it, make do with what you have… we will respect that,” another reads.

Miller’s butcher shop was poorly regarded in his town, and had overwhelmingly negative reviews online. 

The most recent reviews on Yellow Pages consistently mention Miller’s attitude and behavior as being “rude” and abrupt.

“We were attracted by the impressive display of pies in the window, so we went in. Well, I wish we hadn’t. Can’t remember the last time – if ever – I have come across such a blatantly rude person serving,” one reviewer wrote, giving the shop a 1-star review.

“Shockingly bad poor quality food, served by a staff member who was downright rude, surly with no manners who practically threw our pies on the counter. But her/his make up was applied nicely!” Another wrote.

Limited details on the case have been released by authorities, and Miller’s name is only known because of local sources that have come forward. Scotland Border Police only identified the individual arrested as a “53-year-old man,” and have stated that investigations are ongoing.

Everybody got a Jane...

.Everybody got a Jane...So here's mine...Tall, thin, blonde and beautiful. Fucked up in that special way only beautiful women are when they come from a spoiling love which they felt as poverty. Fucked up by regard given for good looks rather than personality. Fucked up by attention given for all the wrong reasons, or so they will tell you. Fucked up by the prizes that follow from all of these and hollowness that needs to be filled by something, anything, and anyone, any obsession for now. Everybody got a Jane. It's a rite of passage to be gone through, some make it out sane, some not. Some die late embittered, burnt fingers chafing into the long nights that follow. When we first met I never noticed her, not in any ignorant way, but more of a "there's this great looking woman over there, I'm here, she's with someone else that's it." Then we spoiled it. But wait. We worked together and I never realised that she was falling in love with me. Or so she told later. One day cycling, my pride and joy new mountain bike, bicycle shorts all Lycra and Chamois. She smiled lips open and wide, wanting to be going with me. Then later, she came around with a card and a present for my birthday, spreading her blue cotton dress across the floor, wishing me well and, and, well, she cried, over what I didn't know, but wanting her to stop crying and to, to do other things that before had never entered my mind about her. Thinking just what was this about? This present then tears thing? But this is too quick. Months passed between my first meeting, working with her and this. But then that's how we were, we moved pretty quick. We went out for beer, just a drink to show her around. Her man, never mentioned, never asked after. She drank easy, pouring and ordering relaxed and slow with smiles for barmen and barmaids, glasses ready to be filled, just for that smile from her again. We talked of life, music-my passion, drama-hers, and anything else that helped touch the sides. I think retrospect is paranoid, or maybe just liberated from those times, who can tell? I was only too happy to be with this beautiful creature that laughed at everything I said and smiled at life. Later I took her back to my rooms, she sipping Vodka bought on the way. On the edge of my unmade bed, she cold and wet from the rain. Taking her clothes off to keep warm in my old sweatshirt and teethchattering, what else could I do but want to warm her?  Her tales of unlove in a coldened marriage, what else but to hold and want her better? Then the touching, holding, fingers here and there, kisses and calls in the air between us. Fumbles and fingers caressing, losing mind, gaining feelings, rushes and blushes. Feeling her warmth and wet, entering, gaining momentum only to be thrown out by her body, pushed out and wanting in, hushed voice telling of wrongness but wanting, whispers of please, but please don't, then hands finding and encouraging. Making this happen was not to be easy anymore. Falling asleep to wake cold and alone, a note of having to raise children from beds, attend to toast and schools. Thinking of what had happened and whys of the evening before. To meet again later at work, nothing said or hinted, smiles exchanged, over break, we must talk, meet later. Timings arranged, other events changed to make space. Her arriving later with Vodka and smiles, a newer white crisp cotton dress, outlines suggesting stockings and sex to come. Me listening of love but no promises of futures as the vodka passed between us. Listening to words but wanting else. Listening, watching lips, blue eyes in concentration while time passed, then hands reaching, pulling toward, breasts offered and taken. Some habits take aeons to accrue, others happen despite awareness. We settled soon into patterns of she arriving after kid bedtimes, vodka in hand and tales of woe, needing to stare into space while chewing on inner cheek. I would read, watch t.v. Until that too would distract. Her need for me was to be her space, still, existing in non-existence until her meditation on inner demons was done. I was Sir Galahad, all knights rolled into one, and I could do this until her dragons were set in stone. Then we would make love, slow, gentle easing into the night. Inventive, touchy feely stuff you read about in books, where each time passion increases as tempo slows. Me incredulous that she could be so turned on by me, her wetness flowing to soak sheets and me. Sweet and wet as overripe peaches warmed by summer sun. Many times I awoke, hands clutching into blanket, holding on to not knowing what. Darkness everywhere and hearing her breathing, deep and low, body angled into dreams. Knowing later but never wanting to ever know, that love created in this way: spoiled, rotten and wrong, creates the best sex, intense, passionate and of course, doomed to build death, hate and poison that takes years to wash away. The vodka would give permission to speak; she talked of frustrations and lovers who missed her by their needs. I heard the warnings but wanted anyway. She talked of foods and not needing to eat, the need to be slim, retain her shape: after two kids it was pretty good eh? All was information to me, where this, we were going never entered my head. We had our space in my rooms, tight under the eaves, safe from the world, who could need more? I took her to Spain, travelling across France, staying in cheap dingy rooms that she couldn't afford but complained bitterly of. To Pamplona, me for the first time noticing how the vodka level slipped down the bottle, how food necessary for me was wasted for her. Her drunk in the afternoon, sliding through streets, hanging off my arm, pulling me down, asleep on a bench in the park, snoring, bag rattled across the ground strewn cosmetics, passport and toothbrush. The last not making sense until much later. Yet. Siesta's, cooler evenings stretched on cotton sheets in hotels, she sucking me until I would beg for release, as good as love ever gets. To lie together as ceiling fans spin flies into oblivion. Baguette's better thrown in temper rather than eaten. Anger at my raising at her lack of food. Distractions of rough foreplay, her need to be spanked, I dumb as only young in love men can be. Loving in place of fighting or was it the other way round? My inarticulacy stares at me across the page, I loved with all that I had and yet did not have enough. I could not make her happy but thought like some school report come to haunt I could try harder. Chasing my tail and hers across a continent, complete in misery, as she wanted more, more that she was not able to verbalise otherwise the need transmuted and lost. A guessing game with only losers as the prize. Watching her flirt with strangers and then being needed to pick up the pieces when such went astray. Hearing her moans of bottom pinchers but catching her glances to entice. My jealousy spurred her further, yet I did not know how to let go. Despising myself for knowing my weaknesses and still being around or wanting more, masochism or abuse? How close together these were. I would break free for a few days until she would return bearing gifts to beat on my door, seeking forgiveness or needing solace supposedly only I could offer. I could not refuse her though I tried other lovers; they and their own peculiarities would seem pale. We would make love instantly to stave recriminations, questions, though these would arrive dressed in rags in later conversation.   As our time moved on she felt need to be in company though quickly despised all friends and acquaintances, rubbished overtures from all. Her drinking now not easy but forced and gulped, time running out. Nagging that I could not fulfil her. Snarls at words not wanted or wanted heard. Here visits grew infrequent and missing her became painful but welcome, then she would return, all smiles, love and gifts of welcome. I wondered the guilt of her gifts, friends told of sightings drunk at parties, I nodded my hearing pondering of their inability to see my pain. Then a party together, late, missing her presence, finding her in the arms of a stranger, his hands on her white knickers, her kissing him not seeing me, the light shaded but strong enough to burn holes that last forever. I left, she coming after me, apologies, blaming drink, the moment, and a forceful other. Me cold and angry, into the pit all cuckolds hide to escape the gaze of others knowing glances. We fought for the first time. Wanting to hit her, using words as fists, her scraping, scratching, and despising my weakness for her deeply as I did. The morning bleak, eyes weary with sight, running away determined to never answer her calls. Of course she came back, vodka in hand, now wanting to smoke dope to ease the drinking. Wanting to try eating, wanting meals bought only in good restaurants. My now seeing her rise immediately after eating to take her bag, go the toilet and return with freshly brushed teeth. Resentment rising in me as I paid good food bills for her to vomit them away. My weariness at the binges that sapped me but somehow strengthened her. Feeling the failure that comes from wanting the best for another, wanting to help but slipping surely into control, into helping when leaving would be better. One summer week, she nightly picking me up from work, buying vodka for us and pizza for me. Drinking, me watching videos while she reflected, sparking cigarettes off the stove, taking me to work, to follow the ritual again. Then, finding myself walking the road for extra vodka, catching myself and recognising that this was out of control: 7 bottles in 6 days. Too drunk to run away or change the day but still knowing that this could not continue. More fights, arguments, other lovers, a litany of shame that in it's making saps and contorts to destroy better being. My understanding over and over the pull of moth from bright candle flame, the suck of fingers into fire. I was in deteriorating orbit, pulled closer by another's' gravity, shamed by debauch yet recognising that this was the only game in town. I continued to leave. To leave. To return. The gaps of days became weeks; slowly immeasurably her influence waned. Then. A call, again late night needing me immediately, getting out of bed, dressed to attend, she 'phoned again, apologies, emergency over. Feeling stupid at being caught by her until she asked to see me in the morning 'sober' to 'talk.' I arrived, no answer to my knock on the door, checking my time, trying the back door finding it open, calling for answer. I climbed the stairs fearful of what I might find. She asleep. Alone. Relieved but concerned over what emergency had taken place here. She stirring eyes baggy in the sunlight, breasts droopy in dressing gown, looking for cigarettes. Asking what I was doing there no memory of 'phone calls... I made her coffee as she bathed, not wanting to notice the beer cans, different brand cigarette packs or the empty condom pack. Wanting to leave, this was no longer for my concern, I was trying to leave her, not be caught again. Drinking coffee, Jane now dressed and made up for the day, me wanting to be anywhere but here, with foresight I'd made plans to meet a friend later. She wanting to go out, talk, be friends, my senses taut as in the presence of any predator. I left after agreeing to meet that night, though I felt the yellow streak on my back pressing deeper in to flesh and psyche. We met for drinks of course; she was burning slow, angry, biting into me, until finally I said I would leave. Outside the night dark and cloudy as she began telling me of my uselessness, my inadequacies, how she'd heard I was seeing another and then she attacked, nails in my face, hands pulling my hair, me twisting as she grabbed for my balls, falling to the floor, hearing others laugh at the spectacle as she tried to kick. I waited. Knowing that this would end. Cold, lying on the ground feeling the pain but feeling release in an inner complete and contented way. I knew now that I would never return, could never return, I had finally been ravaged and needed no more. She laughed as I struggled to my feet and said my goodbyes, believing that I would return. I always had before... That would be a nice end, eh? And it did feel like one, though life being savage as it is and we would/will but deny it: a month later, a dark late night of rain and swift winds, I lay in bed watching t.v. and heard a knock at the door. It was Jane. Drunk and inflamed, all made up with perhaps nowhere to go, holding onto the door and wanting to talk, I allowed her in. she needed coffee she said and making it heard the storm approaching, she questioned of newer loves and places I'd been, of missing her and stories she'd heard from others of her kicking me to the floor. She threw her coffee at me, kicked, missed, and kicked again. Asking her to leave passioned her further, she ran to my room throwing records, music, hi fi to the floor. Then she fell onto the bed, begging to stay, asking for love, forgiveness. Then she fell asleep. I picked up my papers, music and began tidying as she slightly snored. I wanted her gone, picking her up roused her, I threatened a bath to sober her, she screamed at me to let her go, she began kicking blindly at me again and I pinioned her. I would not have taken these things from a man; she knew these things yet still demanded special privilege. I carried her to the door, she screaming, biting, gouging at my balls. Finally I pushed her through the door, she screamed that I would pay for this and was gone. The Police arrived hours later, just when I thought it all over, accusing me of battery, assault and actual bodily harm. I went with them, but making sure that others who had been in the house made their statements too. Jane hawked photographs of bruises telling tales of violence to all who might listen. My embarrassment somewhere turned to shame at being involved in this, denial was pointless as was the showing of my bruises, cuts and hurt, Jane's win in the short term by their lack of shame and who cares for the long term these days? Nobody of that time matters to me now except in the few times of self-reflection such as these. The Police saw the situation as it was, suggested that I never let her in again, to ignore her, no matter what. All good advice only perhaps now for the first time I heard the truth in it, but isn't that how advice is?  Only useful at the right time or when we're ready to hear it... She called many times, always late, drunk of course, mumbling incoherently, as I continued to ignore her pleas she continued rubbishing me with others. Once I saw her walking toward me, I ducked away not needing any further reminders. I believe at the time I loved her, though I know I will not ever love again in such a way. I learned and that's all any of us can ever hope to gain from any relationship. Learning the features of such relationships, obsessive, co-dependent, fucked up, call it what you will: the sex being the best ever, the over concern for another, the wanting to make them happy, the continuing despite shame, loss of friends, self respect and on... Everybody got a Jane: I'm over her now. Aren't I?
