Is JK Rowling ‘too big to be cancelled’?

The Scottish Government preempted the GRRA bill and encouraged Scottish organisations to include men who identify as women and the Scottish Prison Service was one of them. Along with Trans lobby groups and reps from Scottish Prison Service, one of whom was later sent to Saughton Prison on child abuse charges developed the policy which sent the above prisoners to female prisons along with others convicted of seriously violent offences, including child sexual assault.

Engender like many Scottish orgs are funded by the Scottish government to repeat the party line otherwise they don't get funded. The only thing they can be recognised as is being another arm of the government.

I think you are woefully misinformed about what was happening in female prisons in the UK and is still happening in other countries.

The position on housing prisoners who identify as transgender is straightforward. Prisoners are to be housed according to their ‘social gender’:
The accommodation provided must be the one that best suits the person in custody’s needs and should reflect the gender in which the person in custody is currently living.

No distinction is made between male prisoners with a GRC and those without. Similarly, no distinction is made between male prisoners who have had ‘reassignment’ surgery and those who have not:

A male-to-female person in custody living permanently as a woman without genital surgery should be allocated to a female establishment. She should not be automatically regarded as posing a high sexual offence risk to other people in custody and should not be subject to any automatic restrictions of her association with other people in custody. However, if there is clear evidence that she, as an individual, may pose a sexual offence risk, then this should be dealt with as for any other person in custody posing a risk. Only where a risk assessment determines it is justified, should she be subject to increased staff supervision or restrictions of her association with other people in custody.

Accommodation may initially be single-cell. Whether or not a male prisoner who is ‘living as a woman’ shares accommodation with a female prisoner, is decided primarily on the basis of the risk this poses to the male prisoner. The needs of the women are secondary.

The development, evaluation and implementation of the policy, which was written by James Morton of Scottish Trans Alliance, the logo of which features prominently on the front cover, has been the subject of much criticism. You can read about this and how the Scottish Prison Service has overlooked the sex-based needs of women in prison in our report published in November 2021,

Okay so any organisation that goes against JK’s view, even if they’re recognised feminist organisations set up to protect women, are wrong. This just sounds like a cult, sorry,

And because the Scottish trans alliance spent several years working with the Scottish prison service to make it happen

@Clarabell77 “If it was happening, why do you think it was happening? The GRR bill has been blocked by WM and the hate speech law only came into force last week”

It was happening because of the simplistic and childish mantra “trans women are women”.

That rapist was never going to be held amongst women prisoners. Do you seriously think anyone in government would think that was the right thing to do?

An excerpt from a news article last year:

The latest figures for Scotland show there were 23 trans prisoners from January to March this year.
They included 19 transgender women, seven of whom were in a women's prison, and four transgender men - one of whom was in a male prison.

And you say you work in current affairs?

Absolutely!

Thank you @Theeyeballsinthesky
@Clarabell77 You are right to be astonished that any government would think this is fine, but this is where blindly implementing “inclusivity” in every circumstance leads. Check your facts before you dismiss everything that GC people are arguing against.

No, I’ve been reading widely on the subject and speaking to people I trust and respect to help me form my own opinions on it.

I think it seems to be happening everywhere because that’s what the right wing MSM wants us to believe.

If it was happening, why do you think it was happening? The GRR bill has been blocked by WM and the hate speech law only came into force last week.

they can be in an isolation cell in a men’s prison then can’t they

Rapists are risk assessed and even if in a female jail, would be in an isolation cell.

Bryson was initially remanded to Cornton Vale women's prison in Stirling, but has since been moved to a men's jail.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-63823420

now the sort of fuckwits who even remanded Bryson to a female prison shouldn’t be in charge of running a bath let alone country however they were merely following Scottish prison policy

SPS policy states: "The accommodation provided must be the one that best suits the person in custody's needs and should reflect the gender in which the person in custody is currently living."
Prisoners are not required to have a gender recognition certificate to be considered transgender.

it was the huge uproar about Bryson that got that policy reviewed

james Morton from the Scottish trans alliance talked several years ago about their approach on this

We strategized – we strategized – that by working intensively with the Scottish Prison Service to support them to include trans women as women on a self-declaration basis within very challenging circumstances, we would be able to ensure that all other public services should be able to do likewise’.

so don’t tell us that there was nothing to see here!

@MishyJDI ”Read Judith Butler and free your minds from the rabbit hole”

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

free your mind from all rational thought and critical thinking, string together some word salad that means whatever the writer or reader likes, as long as any reality based meaning has been obscured

YABU. What she said was not a crime.

Have you had your head in a bucket of clay for several years?

It was happening everywhere.

That's your framing of it.

Mine would be she is angry that men are given women's rights which leads to weaponisation against women who the rights were meant for in the first place.

It's not bitterness it's justified anger at the sheer male entitlement and the dangerous position it puts women in.

Cancellers must reflect that cancelling really
just means; disagree. They simply disagree with JKR. And that’s ok. Just as it’s ok to not disagree with her.

Where I wasn’t a Harry Potter book buyer before, I am now. What an excellent writer!

That rapist was never going to be held amongst women prisoners. Do you seriously think anyone in government would think that was the right thing to do? No they wouldn’t and they didn’t. What nonsense. I can’t believe people are falling for this.

Men however they identify are not a small minority

I thought it was quite obvious, so apologies for not stating it outright. She appears to be very bitter about a very small minority being given some rights regarding self identification and protections against hate speech.
