Link me all the news article you want - I GUARANTEE in every single case fake pills were involved.
Why would anyone lace cocaine with fent? Hmmm, yes. Today I'm going to lace an upper with a downer for no good reason.
Fentanyl isn't cheap. Black market fentanyl pills go for $30 a pop. Why would you lace the cheapest drug with that?
Maybe, and a huge maybe, the dealer didn't clean his scale and a tiny amount got into your drugs. You're telling me enough got in to kill you? No. It fricking didn't, r-slur.
Your drug addicted friend who died from "fent in his coke" was doing both cocaine and pills and the pills, not the coke, had the fent.

One common response when it's pointed out that you can't always tell is “well we can tell 99% of the time”, or some other high percentage pulled out of nowhere. This is a clear overestimate of how often someone can tell, but let's charitably assume that that number is true for a moment and do some maths. If you could tell who was trans or not 99% of the time, that would still lead to nearly two thirds of the people you read as trans actually being cis.
The mathematics is clear, using Bayes theorem.
Even if we very charitably assume that the sensitivity and specificity of "we can always tell" in detecting a trans person is both 98% then they are still wrong 50% of the time and accuse a cis person of being trans.
This is because there are vastly more cisgender than transgender people.
