Don't know if the conviction was terrorism related, but I hope it will remain visible to those who need to know about it now that this person's identity can legally change.

I find it difficult to accept that a judge knows better than a medical panel, however.

Doesn't everyone feel extremely feminine when dealing in illegal explosives? No? Maybe just me then?

Their argument is that a GRC requirement is two years living in role. And the authorities don't count living in role as wearing the wig and the fake boobs while in the male estate. So they say they have to be transferred to the female estate so that they can live in role for the two years and if they aren't, that's a human rights infraction.

Because of course, the numpties who drafted the GRA couldn't possibly foresee this happening and legislate to prevent it, even though they have decades upon decades showing that cross dressing is the most common paraphilia among sex offenders.

This person was released in 2015, SirVix. Unless they have been convicted of further offences of course.

But they will presumably now sue the government for not putting them in a women's prison in the first place.

Oh, thanks.
So doesn’t the GRC provide some level of identity cover, the right to be forgotten or something ?

HemanOrSheRa · 16/10/2018 16:32

They are out of prison, on license, SirVixofVixHall.

SirVixofVixHall · 16/10/2018 16:29

So this person will now be transferred to a women’s prison ?

Nothing concerning here at all.

What a bizarre case!

You'd certainly think that there would be security implications for anyone convicted of explosives and other terrorist offences to be able to get a GRC, hide their past and then get new female documents and live under a new identity.

But hey the government has got this, right?

No need to worry that terrorists would abuse a system with no gatekeeping.
