Ok to post small extracts, right?
Let me put that another way. In 2015, the experts we collectively trust and pay to study the issues arising from allowing people to change gender told our elected representatives that there are non-trivial risks that some male criminals exploit gender-change rules to gain access to, and commit acts of sexual violence against, women. Three years later, a person born male, has been charged with four acts of sexual aggression against women in the prison system.
Did the backbench MPs, ministers and officials responsible for law and policy on gender issues consider the evidence of the experts, the evidence that women in prison were being put at risk? Did they recognise and act on dangers that were not just predictable but predicted?
Once again, James gets to the heart of the issue.
The highly prejudicial Miller report deliberately ignored these written submissions. None of these bodies were invited to give evidence in person in the second stage of the report production. Only trans lobby groups were invited to give evidence in person. It's all there in the record.
They cannot wring their hands and say how could we have known?.
