I read this article www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-64419533
and the description from one of the students on the same course shows an interesting pattern of behaviour from the rapist. “Overpowering and disruptive” apparently. And none of the other students knew he’d been charged with rape yet the course meant some of the student were undressed for some elements such as spray tan.

There must have been alarms raised as the article says some students were repeatedly branded homophobic before the man charged with rape was asked to leave the course.

Airshire College where Isla Bryson enrolled in a beauty course is working to achieve the LGBT charter mark devised by the Scottish Government:

..Sara Turkington, Equality and Diversity Lead, said: “The College has a long and successful record of supporting, advocating and championing LGBT+ rights and inclusion. The College’s participation in the Charter Mark has, however, re-focussed attention on what LGBT+ students and staff need and want from the College. I look forward to working with students and staff across the College and LGBT Youth Scotland to achieve the Charter Mark.

I wonder if this desire was in conflict with the need to remove Bryson after the other students complained?
The rights of one group of students should not be placed above the needs of another group.

Has anyone worked out if Bryson was presenting male or female when he was doing the beauty course? Because I am struggling to understand the charges of 'homophobia' that were being lobbed at the participants of the course when they complained.

If he was female-presenting, then he'd be a 'lesbian' in his head - was that it? I think it must be. But what lesbian would behave inappropriately to other women on such a course? It's male behaviour.

If he was male presenting, he'd just be a straight bloke in with women.

If such colleges want to avoid problems like this, maybe they'll have to get all students to sign a declaration that they haven't been accused of/charged with any sexual offences. Then surely they could legitimately throw any such students out with the minimum of fuss.

Have we literally got a case of mass psychosis from the people that are supposed to be in charge? What the fuck is wrong with them?
