JKR on men in women's jails

Another banger from the Queen of Twitter after she posted about the recent report on men in women's jails in Scotland.

The trans activist outrage that ensues on here whenever I share my belief that jailed women shouldn't be used as validation tools or emotional support props for trans-identified male sex offenders is as revealing as it's predictable.

Such activists can't bring themselves to concede that a man who was convicted of harming women/girls ought not to be incarcerated with the demographic to whom he is a proven danger, because if they do, all their stock arguments ('no sexual predator would bother to pretend to be trans', 'no trans woman has ever harmed a woman in a women's only space', 'there is no danger in making all single sex spaces unisex') are exposed as the lies they are. If they admit that even a single man isn't a woman because he says he is, the entire edifice of gender identity ideology crumbles. This leaves activists who rely on bullying and slogans with nowhere to go but 'you hate all trans people', 'so you're saying all trans people are rapists' and, of course, 'you are causing a trans genocide.'

I think this particular issue also causes conniptions because it threatens the activists' self image. These are people who preen themselves on their kindness and virtue, so acknowledging the truth - that they're indifferent to vulnerable women being assaulted or traumatised - threatens the idea they have of themselves. They therefore double down. The prisoners complaining aren't really afraid of rape or voyeurism or violence at all, they say. They're 'not exactly delicate flowers', as one self-identified empath put it.

If you support putting violent and sexually predatory men into women's prisons, you are knowingly forcing those women to live in fear of, and, in some proven cases, to suffer abuse that many of them will have endured pre-incarceration. You are not kind. You are not righteous. Women have the basic human right not to suffer cruel and unusual punishment. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

That’s a masterclass. I see most of the usual suspects haven't even bothered to reply to her with their bile, because she has them all beat.

JKR is a hero, a real hero. She never stops standing up for us.

Agreed @Speakingofdinosaurs At one time I feared that the tsunami of vitriol and threats aimed at her by transactivists was a real warning to others. But she's sailed supreme above all their grubby aggression and even expanded on her charity work and support for women, making friends and alliances as she goes.
They can't cancel her - the epitome of "And yet she persisted"

We are so so lucky to have such a prominent, intelligent woman on ‘our side’, who is known all over the world, and is not afraid of telling it how it is.
I think it has encouraged other women to speak out against this gender/trans madness.

That's a good remark "self identified empath "
