Forth Valley Rape Crisis Centre

This would be my local rape crisis centre.

I don't think that you can take from the film that Mridul is achieving sexual gratification from the role, as OP states above (unless I've really missed something). However, I think it's appalling that she didn't reveal she was not female when applying for the role, and to her colleagues initially. And I also think it's an odd choice of role - plenty of opportunities to work with minorities, vulnerable groups etc without needing to focus on such an intimate experience of sexual abuse.

The centre is not just for women, though I assume the vast majority of people needing its services are women.

Their website does state that it is 'women lead'.

I sincerely hope that Mridul wasn't involved in direct support or counselling of vulnerable women without it being very clear that she was not a natal woman.

Grey rock

No reference was made as to pre or post op, but a doctor was mentioned. I agree that is is fraudulent behaviour. Also inclusivity was mentioned so I doubt that it is 100% a women's space for 100% women.

Also the interviewer wasn't pushing any sort of agenda (Agender?) The answer given to the "what drove you to work in this field" (paraphrasing) question was: I'm trans and a feminist.

So not a victim or rape or has first hand experience of seeing or knowing a victim of rape. Also no mention of psychology training or any specialism in this field (domestic violence for example).

I'm suddenly thinking Bunbury thoughts.

Sometimes I despair.

Then I remember, some of them are just here to be provocative!

She runs the rape crisis centre mentioned and is very clear that she is open about her trans status, to the extent that she says a whole piece about the importance of being visible about it and doing talks about it.

I’m totally confused about where all this ‘AGP’ getting ‘sexually aroused’ by helping women comes from? From what I can see from the film, there was lots of shots of positive comments left about the centre from women who were in need that had been helped?

I thought the film was great. She was being interviewed about her trans status, not specifically her job. If she was being interviewed about the people that walked through her doors, then yes, you would expect her to talk about the women who come to the centre.

Thank you for being very clear on your priorities.

One does suspect this job was deliberately sought to have a platform. She acknowledges the majority of clients are white, yet her interest is in immigrants and minorities, so seems like the wrong place to be.

Okay, not "full". Not yet.

When you think about it, where better than a rape crisis centre, to meet vulnerable women

@RedHoodGirl the people walking through the door are being defined as cis. Don't you think they will have enough of someone else deciding who they are and what they should experience. It's all bollocks, cruel deceptive bollocks at that.

"We are a women only space, in the sense that only women work in the centre"

Says the person that works there that was born with and possibly still has, a penis?

Rape is practically legal, and now even the rape crises centres are full of men pretending to be women.

If this was a rape crises centre for either sex (because men DO get raped), that was run by both men and women, that would be one thing. But claiming to be any sort of "women only" space, when they clearly aren't?

Watch the section just at the start where she says "I run a rape crisis centre" and see if you notice anything about the animated line overlay.

The very fact that someone trans would WANT to apply for a job with traumatised women should exclude them.

Yep. No males with a political agenda harmful to women in these roles please. Women deserve better than to be someone else's validation prop or woke points.

The very fact that someone trans would WANT to apply for a job with traumatised women should exclude them. Plenty of jobs where you can just get on with your life, but No, it has to be validating your womanhood.

I thought the film was great.

Yes, I bet you did.
