Shaun Pudwell 'posed as a girl' to try to rape girls of 12 and 13 years old.

Now Shaun is legally recognised as a girl, under the name of Michelle Lewin, and has a gender recognition certificate. This is a mechanism designed to keep secret, with criminal penalties, the fact Michelle has male biology.

As Michelle has a GRC Michelle has a right to be in women's prison. That is the system TRAs created and lobbied for.

Michelle is under an indefinite sentence, which means that it's deemed that Michelle is a very dangerous sex offender for whom normal punishment rules don't apply, it's more important to protect the public from Michelle.

However this protection is not apparently extended to the women & girls (it's a female YOI) in HMP Peterborough having to share with Michelle.

Supposedly there's a panel that decides. What do they ask, "can you pay the fee?"

Funny how many sex offenders change their first name and their surname when they transition. Wonder what that's about

Isn't it?

Those poor women.

I am very tempted to protest outside.

I think we need to know who is making the decision to issue GRC to sex offenders and the exact criteria used.

KatVonGulag · 18/09/2018 07:32

Okay according to trans ideology this is an actual woman.
Of the very tiny amount of biological female sex offenders, how many are guilty of independently sexually assaulting children of the same sex? Most cases where this has happened seem to involve a man too.

Yet it seems transwomen have a (proportionally) much higher offending rating in this area, isn't it true that it's actually at the same rate as men? Hmmm odd that. Thought the lady brain would have kicked in.

I can't feel sympathy for this individual. I feel sympathy with "michelles" victims. The prison services needs to find a third way.

What robust checks were made?

Those poor poor women.

So, everyone who said that the line between who should and who shouldn't be allowed into women's spaces should be the possession of a GRC, how well do you think that's working out?

Floisme · 18/09/2018 07:28

I've run out of things to say.

According to that article, there are 25 transgender prisoners in women’s jails.

  1. How many do we know about?

See this thread Ace "It is illegal to ask to see a GRC"http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3219194-It-is-illegal-to-ask-to-see-a-GRC

ZuttZeVootEeVro · 18/09/2018 07:22

A convicted paedophile was issued with a GRC?

I hope this makes women and girls realise that women and girls safety plays no part in the GRC process.

I wonder why they changed their surname as well as their first name?

AceAcer · 18/09/2018 07:20

Sorry but what are the criminal penalties of the GRC? I'm not sure I understand your sentence there. Does it mean that it is a criminal act to suggest this person is male?
