Another entry for the female violent crime stats. The perpetrator has been jailed, so would that be in a women’s prison?

@NewlyGranny

Transwomen offend at pretty much the same rate as other XY individuals, aka men. And transmen offend in similar ways to other XX individuals (the people formerly known as women). Hence no female wing at Belmarsh, I guess.

Apparently there are more XY convicted people currently in or clamouring to get into the women's estate than there are women incarcerated in total. Imagine the stats that generates.

Could you please share your source of those figures.

@Congressdingo

So not simply because they are trans then Umm no, because they are men in fact.

Exactly

In this article, it's clear that his issues are due to a Crystal meth addiction.

The line about not being accepted by his family seems to get trotted out regularly but most people go no contact - they don't assault loads of random women going about their business in london.

If a family member of mine was on crystal meths, I'd probably not accept them either.
donquixotedelamancha · 30/06/2021 17:33

He has assaulted tens of women. Is it going to take him killing one for them to lock him away for a decent period of time?

This. 14 months for a 'flamethrower incident' after such a catalogue of violence in the past is insufficient.

Paris does according to this have significant mental health problems.

Meth will do that to you. Fundamentally he keeps getting found to have mental capacity, so presumably could choose to stop attacking people.

I really don't think that trans people are any more likely to turn to crime than any other section of society

Transwomen have criminality rates comparable to other XY individuals. However, the FPFW site says 50% of XY individuals who request transfer to the female prison estate have a conviction for sexual violence. But I think it's a case of all pennies are coins but not all coins are pennies.

RedDogsBeg · 30/06/2021 16:56

Certainly as likely to commit crime as one particular section of society and yet claims are made that they are no longer members of that section of society, very strange.

@RedDogsBeg

Transwomen seem to have a particular penchant for violent and sexual crimes that uncannily mirrors the same rates found in male criminality, odd that.

One section of society has a very low rate of crime as a percentage of size, wonder which one that is.

So not simply because they are trans then!

Thatcher decided she could save a few quid by introducing " care in the community "

The consequences have by and large been horrific.

This. There hasn't actually been very much "care" in the community. Of course there have been many awful scandals surrounding long stay facilities too. We've just gone from one bad extreme to the other Sad

@EsmaCannonball

Why are so many male-to-female transgender people associated with criminality or behavioural problems? My take is that it's partly the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing aspect and they're hoping the system will go easier on them, but it's also about oppositional and disruptive behaviour. They know that identifying as a woman is going to cause headaches and problems and they enjoy that in itself.
I think you may be on to something there. It is certainly an interesting question. There is evidence of high rates of mental health challenges amongst those identifying as trans. I think that came out in the judicial review brought by Keira Bell.

There are some statistics here on prisons

fairplayforwomen.com/campaigns/prisons/

Unfortunately the gender identity lobby, especially Stonewall has worked hard to obscure the facts and trans identity is not always recorded.

Wow, could you share your numbers on that statement?

I think it's likely that their crimes are more widely reported on as it sells papers.

@WomaninBoots

Not.

Our.

Crimes.

But also, Jesus there need to be lifelong institutional care for some people doesn't there? I know asylums were inhumane in most cases but why did the whole concept of keeping people safe just seem to get completely trashed? Surely there is a better solution.

This one says they were sent to Belmarsh, so a high security men’s prison. Not a women’s prison. That’s one good thing at least.

Not only women, but also often vulnerable women - a physically disabled woman, a partially sighted woman attacked randomly from behind, women attacked with racist slurs being shouted...

LazyHorizon · 30/06/2021 15:28

The MyLondon article also uses ‘she’throughout and doesn’t mention that Paris is trans, just alluding to not being accepted by family and public.

You’re right, the victims of violence are all women except for that police officer who intervened. Chilling.

@Clymene

This person targets women. Every single person attacked has been female except the pc pushed onto the track who tried to break up a fight.

He has assaulted tens of women. Is it going to take him killing one for them to lock him away for a decent period of time?

This.

This creature's attacked only women, unless men have intervened.

In 2017, t threw an off duty police officer onto live tube rails after he intervened in a disturbance on a tube train.

This is just another of those things that would never happen and you'd have to be a raging bigot even to imagine the possibility, right?

At some point in the distant future, historians will be scratching their heads over a weird spike in women's violence in the 2020s...

Will they be in a women's prison ?
Most likely as the person in question is a "lady".
