Woman raped in women’s refuge Canada

But everyone said this couldn't possibly happen.

I doubt you will get anything but sympathy here on this thread.

My heart goes out to all those women who do have to be separated from their male children at such a time

Jesus. That is heartbreaking and infuriating. And it's what's coming to Scotland. Fucking hell.

WE CAN HARDLY BAN MALES FAE SCOTLANDS RAPE CENTRES WHEN WE HAVE A MALE RUNNING ONE THOUGH

Excellent point 🤦‍♀️

The government are culpable in her rape.

Sorry reply fail- that was to @334bu

Of Course! I did forget about all those lesbian sex offenders. I wonder why…Oh, wait.

(And if my previous post wasn’t clear it was meant to highlight the bullshit that usually gets trotted out by the TRAs when this happens).

Have I missed anything?

You forgot the "predatory lesbians" who are just as much of a threat as all these pesky males, conveniently forgetting that less than 1% of convicted sex offenders are female.

Never thought I'd be calling on the Daily Mail.....👋

I think you’re missing the tone of this post, which seems to be taking the piss out of the typical lines trotted out at times like this

No one is saying that transwomen shouldn't have access to rape and refuge services.

Just that it shod be separate to prevent things like this. Not everyone is nice and there are people who will do anything to get at vulnerable women.

Hopefully this person won't be sent to a female prison?

I think the bottom line one, which is when it's been irrevocably proven that yes this did happen, and yes this man was as true TW as anyone else because self ID is all it means -

that women left with the lifetime damage of rape are just acceptable collateral damage to make sure male TQ+ people's lives are happy ones.

Just fuck this to the far side of fuck now.

Nicola Sturgeon when you introduce SELF ID this is what you enable.

YOU will be complicit in the harm to vulnerable women in the name of trans rights.

There is NO excuse for what you are about to do to women in Scotland.

I had the same with my nieces , they just don't get it . I'm raging that this has happened, that poor woman.

I wonder who the hell didn't care.

This is the pertinent point. I am only now understanding how little these women matter to the 'be kind' left 🙄

Faffertea But this is a woman so it couldn’t have been rape. Because he said so. When will these laws be changed back again, and actual care for women and girls matter?

This has made me so angry. What is wrong with people.

This is transphobic dog whistle reporting.
It didn’t really happen because this never happens.
And if it did happen the offender wasn’t really trans.
But men don’t pretend to be trans to access women so it didn’t happen.
And if it did happen they can call the Police so there’s no problem.
And anyway transwomen are subjected to so much more violence so don’t talk about VAW.
And the woman and the shelter and the newspaper and anyone who argues it’s wrong are linked to the far right and/or fundamental Christian groups in the USA.

Have I missed anything?

Over a decade ago I was in a refuge, a lifeline at the time I needed it most. The rules sadly state that males over the age of 12 are not allowed in shelters, this impacted a few other women there. I could go on about the gross injustice, those who experience domestic violence have to face, as well as being separated from their male children.

I could get bashed for what I'm going to say but this should never have been allowed to happen. If women are separated from their 12 years and above sons. Why are men who identify as women allowed into what should, essentially remain a women only safe place. There is and should be no grey areas with this one.

What a horrendous story - and the perfect illustration of why so many women are opposed to self ID. We warned that this would happen in any country that allowed it. I hope someone will forward that article to Nicola Sturgeon, who is about to force self ID through in Scotland.

Bloody kids , what did she say when you showed her this article?

Stories like this need to go viral.
Twitter knows. Anyone who follow JKR knows. But lots of people not on social media are still caught in the be kind cult. OF COURSE this was going to happen. Many awesome strong women have been warning them for years, and have been vilified for it.
That poor poor woman, and shame on all the governments and heads of corporations who didn't apply any thought whatsoever to where this would inevitably lead.

I wonder who the hell didn't care.

I wonder who the hell didn't see this coming.........
