Katie Dolatowski up in court again

I’m very GC but I don’t have an issue with TW being kept in a separate wing of a male prison especially if they have a grc.
Dolatowski is scum but there are probably transwomen in for non-violent crimes who should be set apart from the rest of the male population. Especially if they have taken a lot of hormones or had reassignment surgery.

Much as I hate what is happening, it is bringing into the spotlight the problems with males being able to self identify as women and move to the female estate. I bloody well hope he’s not there for very long, or has unsupervised access to any women. It’s clearly not fair on the prisoners OR on the female staff working within the prison.

I just read about this now - violently attacks a male prisoner so is moved to a female prison. This is from the article I read:

"She identifies as female, but, notwithstanding that, she had been placed in the male prison population at Polmont, and the court can probably anticipate the difficulties that caused her.
"She was targeted for quite some time in the lead-up to this, and from her perspective she found it almost impossible to try and seek assistance from the proper route in the Prison Service because that brought more issues and difficulties for her in the context of those that were targeting her.
"On this occasion she decided to try and stand up for herself about something that had been said to her the previous evening."

So instead of sorting out their own house and procedures, they just move the problem into a women's prison. What happens when one of the women says something she doesn't like? I bet they won't move Dolatowski back.

When will this madness end?

It was great to stand with my sisters today, and see councillors prepared to stand with women on this.

furious! how long before Katie attacks a woman in prison? - who is looking out for their safety?

Dolatowski is 6'5"?

Dolatowski who sexually assaulted a 10 year old girl in a supermarket’s women’s toilets?

Am so angry I can’t even begin to express my disgust at the SNP/Greens/Lib Dems and Labour.

What is fake about it. He took advantage before , he has done it again. The Scottish Govt is disgusting on this. They must all be deselected at the next elections

Katie Dolatowski was raised during the consultation period for the Scottish GRA reform.

The government suggested it was 'fake news'.

Katie is doing us a massive favour here is showing exactly the issues we are all transphobic for raising because 'they would never happen '.

Well here is our evidence. Let's share the shit out of it. I hope NS is challenged about it in parliament.

It really is too ridiculous for words

Dolatowski is 6'5", assaulted a man in prison by repeatedly punching him in the head, and the response is to move him to a woman's prison?

But he wants to be in a women’s prison, Arabella. And a male wish outweighs any female needs or rights, including the right to safety. In many cases, including women’s right to life.

As I always think what the chuff is in this for NS?

Power. If you can keep everyone terrified of saying the wrong thing for fear the flying monkeys are set on you, you can rule the roost.

Also career prospects. Once Sturgeon leaves office not having gained independence, most think she will be looking for one of these lucrative non-jobs for failed politicians at the UN or somewhere. She is demonstrating obedience to the dominant ideology in those quarters.

Why not move the other guy? They seem to be the one at risk.

(I don’t actually want this, obviously)

As I always think what the chuff is in this for NS? Why so virulent in push push on this despite the clear risk!!

I'm furious about this and will never give Women's Aid another penny. And I am a regular contributor.

Screamingly insane.

The whole thing.

Who is making these decisions? Can you imagine them sitting round and weighing up the evidence, coming to the conclusion that a male who has sexually assaulted a girl and beaten up a man must have some magical inner womanly feeling which over-rides everything else, including the feelings, dignity and SAFETY of women and makes it imperative that he is imprisoned with women? Do they never lie awake at night and wonder whether they've made a mistake?

The Scottish government are actively working on making it easier for male sex offenders to self ID into women's single sex spaces. just yesterday they voted down an ammendment to put extra steps/checks in place for sex offenders applying for a GRC under the self ID laws they want to introduce.

I don't think anything will make the SNP put the safety of women and children first.

Persistent offender, now convicted of two sex offences and two unrelated violent assaults. Repeatedly violates court-imposed restrictions and yet the Scottish Prison service is inflicting this guy on vulnerable female prisoners.

Jesus Christ, this just gets worse every time more comes out.

This is fucking insane. This country is going mad.
