"Rumours that a self-professed "trans dolphin" drowned after swimming in Table Rock Lake are too fishy to be true, PinkNews can confirm. Claims that a 29-year-old woman, who purportedly identified as a "trans-dolphin", drowned in the US lake earlier this month, spread like wildfire across social media despite being completely false. The rumours, which primarily spread across Facebook, claimed witnesses saw the woman swim into the lake, which stretches between Missouri and Arkansas, dressed in a "dolphin costume" and a "snorkel fashioned as a blowhole","
"Not only is the claim that she drowned in Table Rock Lake completely false, but the "trans dolphin" does not exist at all. There is no such thing as a trans dolphin. The fake story originally came from a Missouri-based satirical Facebook page, the Branson Area Breaking News, which uses AI-generated images to fabricate news stories based on the city of Branson, Missouri."
False rumours alleged a self‑professed 'trans dolphin' drowned after swimming in Table Rock Lake. Social media posts claimed a 29‑year‑old woman in a dolphin costume with a snorkel-shaped blowhole swam, ate fish, thrashed, and vanished beneath the surface. The person and identity do not exist. The story originated on a Missouri satirical Facebook page, Branson Area Breaking News, which fabricates local headlines using AI-generated images. The page has posted other fabricated stories and imagery that mock transgender and overweight people. The AI image contained visible errors, such as fused rainbow-coloured hair with a swimming cap and an indecipherable nose piercing.
