Female prisoners in Scotland

SNP Kenneth Gibson asks if female prisoners shower with anatomical males.

I have been advised by our recently retired governor that there is at least one female prison where anatomically male prisoners and female prisoners are expected to shower together,” Mr Gibson told the Chamber. “Can you advise on whether or not that is the case?

The Justice Minister's response? He 'doesn't know the answer' to that question. Meanwhile, Sturgeon says as a 'lifelong feminist' it's important to protect trans rights.

I would be surprised if the situation is as Kenneth Gibson has suggested.

I wouldn't in the slightest. Mr Humza may want to take his fingers out of his ears and wake the fuck up. It's rather like the idiot ex Womens and Equalities for Males MP who insisted females would only ever be expected to use mixed sex facilities if they were single separate enclosed rooms, floor to ceiling.

I've had my secret instructions about where to go for a meeting tonight of (mainly) women who want to discuss proposed legislation changes by the Scottish Gov. Why should women have to take such precautions for our safety over a legal meeting in 2020 to discuss women's rights?

Wow. The fact that women in the 21st century West feel so intimidated by 'progressives' about meeting openly to discuss legislative changes? It's an indictment of the current climate. Galloping backwards at top speed

There's something very regressive about so many 'progressives'.....

Ereshkigal here's the quote, just bonkers, the whole thing

I don’t know the answer to that exact question,” Mr Humza replied, “but it is the case that there will be transgender women who are within the female prison estate. I would be surprised if the situation is as Kenneth Gibson has suggested. I will look into the concerns that he has raised.”

Sturgeon is not a feminist. She’s a progressive - very different.

The Justice Minister's response? He 'doesn't know the answer' to that question

Well perhaps he'd better fucking find out.

Yeah the justice minister said it’s fine to record men’s crimes as women’s crimes now

Just fine.
