And only one of them even has a Gender Recognition Certificate.

Professor Asteriti submitted a Freedom Of Information request and this is the response. It's still only a small number of prisoners - although a significant amount - but we know that this is a trend that has started to explode in recent months, we know from Rhona Hotchkiss (former Scottish prison governor) that every time this happens it causes all sorts of problems for vulnerable female inmates (even beyond obvious physical and sexual issues) and now we know that the prison service doesn't even care if you have a GRC - if you say you're trans there's a one in two chance you'll get transferred.

Bastards
Those poor women

I noticed the 3 who used to identify “as woman” Angry who don’t any more - under proposed self ID would they have a GRC by now??? Would they keep them in the female (actually mixed sex Angry) estate too?

I notice they are not recording 'incidents' (or not in a reportable format no.7) Shambles.

*put not out

Anyone with a GRC when they go into jail will automatically be out in the female estate, so we have no idea how many (if any) of them there are. They never go before the panel.

Could it possibly be that offending patterns are more in line with sex-typical than gender-typical? The numbers are admittedly small but 10:1 is a big difference.

I’d like to know what type of feminist Sturgeon is for allowing this shite!

Lordfrontpaw · 06/03/2020 08:28

But how is this legal? I really don’t understand how this is legal?? Also - how many females in the male prison - considering the numbers of girls presenting at gender clinic is way more than boys. Where are they?

Languishingfemale · 06/03/2020 07:58

I wonder how many of these have been jailed for sex offences or violence against women or children?
That needs to be the next question

Lordfrontpaw · 06/03/2020 07:57

Without a GRC. Isn’t that illegal though. Actually ILLEGAL?
