Prominent transphobe found guilty of multiple counts of child sexual abuse across a 20 year period.

Erm, the issue is that [biological male] trans prisoners are 18x more likely according to ONS stats to be sexual offenders than non trans biological males. Holding GC beliefs, however, doesn’t correlate to a higher than national average incidence of sex offending and violence.

On the basis of your logic, as I believe another poster has pointed out somewhere on MN, given Hitler was a vegetarian, should we now also assume that all vegetarians are homophobic, antisemitic, mass murdering Nazis?

So?

Ironic that feminists are quite happy to tar all trans activists with the pedo tag but not happy when the same happens from the other side!

Hypocritical much?

It's a trans activist!

Yes, the TRAs are trying to link this scumbag with FWS and JKR

OP, it's taken you 4 full months to find something to attack the women on here with and that's all you've got!!

When GC, feminist women try and cover up for her, then the TRAs might have a point. Can't see any of that, only condemnation. I hope she rots in jail and is never allowed near children again.

On the other hand:

Amy Challenor had extremely dodgy connections to child abuse and produced arguably illegal material and managed to get his child rapist dad appointed to a political position. He later went onto join the Greens and it took a large scale protest across reddit to get the company to remove him as a paid admin after all this was known.

Jessica Yaniv was supported by TRAs and the Canadian justice system to sexually abuse minority women in poverty who didn't want to handle his genitals in their homes. Also has child abuse allegations.

Cameron Dowling is a convicted sex predator who was known to threaten women and given a post as an SNP Equalities officer anyway. He was later granted access to a women's shelter. This was defended by TRAs.

Many more such cases.

So prominent most of us have never heard of her!

This is all over social media - ‘prominent anti trans activist’… ‘terfs is a nonce’…

Oh dear @ButterflyHatched, that’s a crap attempt. Must try harder 2/10

That is making excuses. It is inexcusable.

I recall several posts by @ButterflyHatchedclaiming that they somehow had been able to access puberty blockers many many years before they were even used in the UK, and other such outlandish (and false) claims.
When I see another post, I automatically assume now that it’s likely to be the same misleading bollocks.

I'm glad this has been brought up, I saw it on Transgender UK Reddit and wondered what it related to. Ultimately it seems to have been received as "Look, she's one of you! All GCs are evil child abusers!" (I did see a comment on Reddit along the lines of this "exposing" that GC thought is a "front", which all gets a bit Q Anon ).

What this woman did was fucking awful. She deserves to rot in jail and I'm glad she's been caught and prosecuted. But it's so lazily disingenuous to say she was on our "side" therefore she's "one of us" and we therefore condone or support child abuse.

Sharing someone's views on one subject doesn't create an overlap on all other views. Putin - reportedly - likes roast lamb. I like roast lamb. Am I now supporting the annexation of Crimea?

I see this thread backfired spectacularly on @ButterflyHatched . Hardly anyone has even heard of this so-called "prominent" gender critical woman, and everyone has condemned the child abuse without hesitation.

The OP's giddy delight at finding a case to shame gender critical women with, meanwhile, has backfired, as women can post dozens of examples of child abuse by trans people - many of them also arguably trans activists. Sadly, the examples just keep coming, proving which community has a real problem with child abuse. (Hint: it's not gender critical women.)

Anyone who has spent five minutes in this space knows that the women here do care about child abuse - including the abuse of 'trans' children. It's why every Let Women Speak involves the rallying cry "Transitioning children is profound abuse". Why the Cass Review was such a big deal, and the books of Juno Dawson are so disliked, and why there has been outrage for years about the plight of Jazz Jennings, Desmond the nine year old drag queen, and other 'trans kids'. Why do people think we hate Mermaids so much?

Of course, @ButterflyHatched has been on this board for a while, and is just being disingenuous. Because this poster is trans and disagrees that child transition is child abuse. This is nothing but a desperate attempt at a DARVO, by a poster whose own cognitive dissonance is getting to them. It's pathetic.

This is a gay man with a male victim- what point are you trying to prove here? That gay men are pedos? It’s 2025, get a bloody grip.

This is awful- keeping the victims and families involved in my thoughts.

I’m not GC and passionate about trans rights, and I do think people rushing on here saying ‘she wasn’t transphobic!!! There’s no evidence of that!!!!’ says a LOT about who people on here choose to champion and where their focus is. Transphobia was literally an element of her abuse, and she was also GC. That’s a fact. We shouldn’t be silenced into not mentioning that by people who find it uncomfortable (whilst they happily share articles of LGBTQ+ people who have done vile things for their own agenda).

Having said that, I am heavily against taking a single member of a group who has done bad things and using that to paint an entire group as predatory.

It's rage for the sake of it. It's not going to change a thing.

These men still won't be allowed to women's spaces, only now, more people will understand why.

I was not going to let a thread stand unchallenged when there are a disproportionate amount of paedophiles in the femphobe/MRA/trans community, much higher per capita than the general community.

Quite. And you would think that butterfly would've had enough of being proved wrong over the years on here.

I know The Supreme Court ruling has enraged transactivists everywhere. And they must know that expressing their rage will change absolutely nothing.

So it's my opinion that they just enjoy it.

Which, in a neat full circle, is pretty much why women went to the Supreme Court in the first place.

This woman is scum.

She appears to have abused all sorts of different children and likely used whatever insults seemed most likely to hurt each individual child. Hence the use of transphobic slurs and almost certainly other prejudiced language.

Safeguarding applies to EVERYONE. I would be very surprised if there were not warning signs that were missed here as there usually are in such cases. The organisation (ideally with external eyes) should investigate what could have been done differently.

None of this means she was wrong about sex being immutable. She is probably right about all sorts of other things as well (the earth being round for example) but that doesn't mean she is any less despicable.

Being gender critical is a belief in sex being more important in most cases than self-identified gender. GC people can be communists, liberals, centrists, right wingers or indeed fascists. They can be atheist or highly religious. They can hold very different views on issues like abortion and women's place in society. They are often campaigning for very different things.

Most people on this board are GC, left leaning feminists and it seems Murray would probably have claimed to be such as well. No one is above scrutiny and I hope she is brought to justice swiftly. This sort of case is very unusual in this demographic but seems to be less unusual in TRA circles. GC women are also quickly denouncing her whereas TRA circles tend to circle the bandwagon as we saw with Amy Challenor.

I thought child safeguarding was a transphobic dog whistle?

On reddit yesterday there were many posts about Murray and there developed a determined undertaking to link all GC activists to her and to spread the story far and wide.

I see the OP is doing their master's bidding.

Idiot.

Had hoped this thread would be deleted, hence reporting it, but maybe it is better left standing after all so that anyone wandering by can see that tactics like that of OP just won’t wash any more.

Opened this wondering which prominent woman this was. I’ve never heard of this person.

So just another man, trying to slur and shame us for someone completely unconnected with us.

Leveraging abuse to suit your own misogynist aims OP.

Seems a common TRA trope.

But in case you haven't noticed, feminists aren't the ones saying that safeguarding is offensive.

Safeguarding isn't personal and is a very blunt tool. No category of human is beyond suspicion. Whilst over 90% sexual / violent crimes are committed by men - hence the point of single sex provisions - that quite obviously still leaves some women.

I think this is behind OP's viewpoint;In September, Murray posted a message on social media on behalf of Brodie’s Trust to say that the charity would no longer refer women to the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Center, on account of its commitment to transgender orthodoxy. “We cannot in all conscience send vulnerable women to the service in its current state,” Murray wrote. “We are a women-only service run by women for women and will not be intimated into changing our stance on this matter.”Two months later, Murray was surprised to be visited by Police Scotland in connection with her tweet. They said that while she hadn’t committed any crime or even been hateful: “We need to speak to you to ascertain what your thinking was behind making your statement.”www.nationalreview.com/corner/scottish-woman-visited-by-police-for-posting-her-charitys-policy/

Absolutely spot on.
so many “prominent” trans activist have been shown to be vile sax offenders…. But you never hear then described as “consummate misogynist ………….”…and it shows more about the OP and their relationship with reality TBH.
