According to Andrew Gilligan, a senior Scottish prison official convicted of possessing 22,000 indecent images of children and now on the sex offenders' register was one of those responsible for introducing its “gender identity and gender reassignment policy” which places men in women's prisons according to their self identification.

Maybe we need to ask why it is that so few women seem to experience "gender dysphoria"? It seems that GD is an exclusively male problem. I wonder why that is.

Some 48% of transgender prisoners are sex offenders, the Ministry of Justice said in a freedom of information answer earlier this year, compared with less than 20% of the prison population as a whole.

This is a chicken and egg situation. On the one hand the trans umbrella is so wide that it includes paraphilias criminologists say are more common among sex offenders while on the other sex offenders have an obvious motivation to be transferred to the women's estate. I hope those assessing such claims have a very high index of suspicion.

Stonewall's umbrella does great harm to the trans community, bundling people with crippling gender dysphoria in with fetishistic cross dressers.

And later: Ministry of Justice figures show the number of women in prison for sex offences has risen by 40% in three years, from 93 in 2015 to 130 this year. The figures do not distinguish between biological women and trans women.

Just as we've been predicting, recording crime by gender identity is skewing the crime figures and leaving them unfit for purpose. It's already happened.

Another stone lifted, revealing what lies beneath.

Thanks Andrew Gilligan.

Sex offender helping sex offenders.

Almost like a ring of sex offenders that's exactly what it is

Absolutely brilliant and succinct article. No waffling, other that the obligatory ‘she’ pronouns. A pervert was involved in making g it easier for men who identify themselves as women, to gain access to vulnerable females. Surely not? That could never happen. 😒
