After so many years seemingly howling in the wind, FINALLY the MSM are taking the issues , seriously, it's on front page news, discussed in Westminster, BBC, ITV, C4,it's all over Twitter, even the bloody GUARDIAN is reporting on it, and, by the outrage over Adam Graham, the convicted rapist being put in a women's jail, it looks like we are on the right side of history after all...

I've seen some misinformation (possibly on purpose, ie lies) from people who should know better claiming if Scotland's GRA reform had passed the individual would have gone to a women's prison. This is false.

Margey, you keep using that shit image despite it being thoroughly debunked (with links to the relevant legislation and information from policy analysts) on many, many threads.

Maybe time to retire it, aye?

What is there to be "gleeful" about? Wouldn't you rather the double rape didn't happen at all to begin with?

The decision of where to send transwomen was always decided on a case-by-case basis anyway, this isn't the first time a transwoman has been sent to a male prison. Also the 5 transwomen who are in women's prisons are there for non-violent offences. Nothing has changed, and this has nothing to do with Scotland's GRC proposals.

Possibly the most slimy, dishonest, disgusting, immoral, foul, slanderous thing I've ever seen posted here.

You should be so thoroughly ashamed of posting this. Not even you could possibly believe for one single moment that that is what the poster meant. Not even you.

NicolaSturgeonsSOGIbottom · 31/01/2023 13:31

It’s what happens right now all across the UK so why is it wrong?

Currently, men with a GRC that says they are female are automatically assigned to the female estate and then assessed, and men without a GRC who say they are female but don’t have the correct paperwork go to the male estate and are then assessed.

That’s why TRAs say Karen White happened due to a failure of the existing process.

If Adam Graham had a new Scottish style GRC he would’ve automatically been assigned to the female estate while being assessed.

Which is what happened without a GRC anyway, Karen White style.

Still not seeing what there is to be "gleeful" about IMO?

Awww nice try Mags but you need new tactics. Trolling's moved on a lot since 2018. Check 4chan for the latest.

Never stop tho...you're magnificent and you always brighten up my day. I love the feeling of schadenfreude.

TheKeatingFive · 31/01/2023 13:26

A lot, possibly most, won't think it through much more than that, but a reasonable number will take an interest, discuss it with family and friends and give it longer currency. That has to be a good thing, don't you think? Keep it going as a pot boiler and every time there's a similar case, speaking up about it.

Yes absolutely. Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted at any progress here, for any reason.

I have found it illuminating, what drives people. I include myself in that too.

MargaritaPie · 31/01/2023 13:26

potniatheron · 31/01/2023 12:48

Yes I do feel gleeful.

I'm loving it in fact.

When I spoke about this issue 3 years ago people would look disapprovingly at me because they honestly thought T was a subsector of LGB and that T people had all had SRS.

Now the cat is out of the bag, I can talk about it in public and normies not only know what I'm talking about and agree with me.

TWAW is a dead slogan.

Watching the TRAs currently tie themselves up in knots makes me laugh, almost as much as I laugh at @MargaritaPie

When they realise self ID is actually already here, via be kind and if you're not you're a bigoted terf, in all of the UK whether it's in legislation yet or not people aren't going to be that impressed.

People generally, don't like being lied to or misled. Both leave a very unsavoury taste in the mouth.

That's it. And the other link you posted, to the podcast, took me to an accompanying blogpost:

4w.pub/identity-crisis-conformity-and-preference-falsification/

I have ordered Private Truths, Public Lies now and look forward to reading it.

I do wonder, though. I think the majority of people are opposed to gender ideology. But there are a few hardcore types who really believe in it, and will continue believing in it even in the face of the absurdity of Isla Bryson. Will they eventually cave in? Or will they fight to the bitter end?

Thanks Corgi, Ill check out the blog post.

I think there will always be hardcore believers. Belief can be so deeply tied up to identity that it can be impossible to let go of- even in the face of incontrovertible evidence.
Or, some might do a complete 180 and become extreme (hateful) on the other side- like reformed drinkers/smokers/born again religious fanatics- attacking via others the part of themselves they are now disowning.
Human nature and behaviour will follow for this as with everything else I think.
This is hopefully about the difference that can be made by turning the moderate, unaware majority as you say.

Yes! Figuratively AND literally. Because the same argument can be used for toilets, of course.

At what point does a male with mal intent become 'unsafe' to be in female single sex spaces??? Knowing that most rapists are never caught, or even reported.

They cannot logic their way out of this. They can only try to band aid over it and try the 'well, MOST aren't so why discriminate against them'. To which we continue to push, 'why do we discriminate against ALL males'.

And then they really cannot come up with anything believable as to why them as a special group will get consideration....

Or they fall back on 'well, if they want to rape you, they'll rape you regardless of the sign on the door' or 'well, you can report them after the event' or 'don't be so pathetic!! You're making yourselves into victims'.

It's the utter lack of any compassion or empathy shown by TRA's towards anyone who (for many different reasons) doesn't unthinkingly chat the mantra 'well, you can pee beside me!'. Gender ideology is at it's heart 'well, you asked for equality!' repurposed. It's a luxury belief.

They’re not going to try to logic their way out of it.

They’re going to continue to bamboozle everyone with ‘be kind’ and cries of transphobia/bigotry.

There are still enough people utterly terrified of being ‘unkind’ or ‘phobic’ that they’ll stop asking questions and beg to be re-educated.

sadly.

But if some TW are admitted to be “fake” then the whole self-ID project goes down the toilet and we’re back to “gatekeeping”.

I am full of glee but also experiencing a massive surge of fury at everyone who let this happen — and in some cases are still letting it happen. It's now 25 years since I watched someone I knew transition from male to female and become a misogynistic ar**le. I had no idea what it was about then, but I knew it wasn't good for women. It must be getting on for 15 years ago that a man turned up in a women's group with make-up and women's clothing and insisted on his right as a woman to stay there. He went on to infiltrate Women's Aid and all the other single-sex organisations in the area and cause massive fall-out.

I've been shouting and waving a red flag ever since then and I'm furious that so many people ignored something so obviously wrong for so many years. I want people held accountable and names named. I want Ruth Hunt deprived of her title. I want another female member of the HoL who bullied and threatened Tanni Grey-Thompson (a disabled member of the HoL) because TGT spoke up strongly for single sex loos, to be named and shamed. I want Susie Green in jail. I want Kathleen Stock and others who've been harassed and bullied to receive apologies from the institutions that supported their torment and I want the people who did it to be sacked. And of course I want justice for all the young people who've been sterilised and mutilated because no one in a position of responsibility and power was prepared to stand up and say no.

If you believe that trans women ARE women, then they belong in women's prisons regardless of the crime they commit.

If you believe that trans women ARE women, you believe that rapists and those who sexually assault exclusively women belong in a women's prison.

Because a woman - regardless of her crime - does not ever belong in a men's prison. Women who have committed a crime against another woman don't get put in a men's prison. Because they're women.

So, what is it? Either trans women actually AREN'T women - or else they ARE women and putting rapists in female jails is OK. Pick which camp you're in.

If you think trans women really are women and you're supporting them to live their lives in exactly the same way as a woman, then you can't argue against a trans woman rapist being put in a women's jail.

For any sane person, very obviously a trans woman who sexually assaults, murders or attacks women should not be in a women's jail. Because they're male-bodied, and it puts the women in jail at risk.

Let's see how many of the TWAW crowd want to support rapists in female prisons. Because if they do, that shows how little they really do care about women's safety. And if they don't support trans women in women's prisons, then that proves that trans women aren't actually the same as women after all.

Checkmate.

MIC DROP.

Because I'd bet they would be surprised to find out that probably most of them still had a penis and had no GRC.

Well, basing that on what we know about it, I'm certain that you're correct.
