Before the SC clarification, in English prisons at least, we were told that TiM would not be held in women's prisons if they committed a violent and/or sexual offence against a woman. Actually if that's what they were being imprisoned for. As we know sexual offences are rarely successfully prosecuted.

Anyway, I was thinking today what would they have done if a TiM assaulted another TiM. Would they have seen it as an offence against a woman, so off to the men's prison, or against a man. Would it depend if the victim had a GRC or had all the surgeries. Similarly, if the victim was a TiF. What then?

Sorry, I realise this is a derail but I needed to put this somewhere.

ScotGov are deminstrating what a bunch of fuckwits work there. On the plus side the nonbins must be feeling validated. So ill wind.

Trans inmates sexless if banned from female prisons, say ministers

Very misleading headline: trans people are not banned from female prisons at all - only the male ones are banned. Isn't it interesting how nobody actually seems to care in the slightest when it's the other way around... now who was it trying to erase trans people again?

WearyAuldWumman …I've just tried pointing my finger but noticed that in doing so, my other fingers are pointing back at me!

Yup. There are 64 genders including male, female and non-binary if you believe the 14 yr old who tried to give me a lecture about it one time.

You can only use "They" if those folk identify as "They". If those folk happen to be Xe/Xim/Ze/Zir [or summat else], then you're a BIGOT! points finger

The last time I did supply*, I had a pupil who claimed to have the pronouns xe/xim. Said pupil's best friend retorted "Aye, and my pronouns as 'yer/maw'!"

I implore you, won't you think of those who identify as yer/maw?

*Note to anyone seeking to get me struck off - I'm now retired and no longer on the teaching register. Thank goodness.

“in an intermediate zone of neither one sex nor the other” sounds like an electronica band lyric. I can see the pvc boiler suits now.

Most of Iran's internet is down at the moment; the few accounts getting through via Starlink are showing massive street protests.

I'm not going to sit here and predict the collapse of the Iranian regime tonight. But their economy is in freefall and something is going to explode.

Going back to Scotland, the SNP are terrified of appearing anything less than progressive (as long as it doesn't involve women), or appearing to agree with Westminster. I would love them to be voted out in May.

We-e-ll, there was that business of a bunch of the more frothy cybernat accs suddenly going dark after the Israeli missile strike caused an internet blackout in Iran last year. It's possible that the SNP dog is to some extent being wagged by hostile foreign tails without realising it.

What would happen to them if they were physically ill (as opposed to mentally ill)? Would life-saving medical care be considered unacceptably cruel if it resulted in existential crisis ? Does SNP demand that trans-dientifying male prisoners be mistreated by undermedication to facilitate delusion affirmation ?

I never fail to be gobsmacked at how the trans ideologues demand substandard care for trans-identifying people.

61 you say… hmmm 🤔

They (can I call them ‘They’ ?) clearly are suffering from befuddlement so presumably wouldn’t notice where they were.

Did they miss the part where only sex and gender reassignment are in law and that for the purposes of equality males reassigned gender aren't actually the female sex and you still can't change sex.

Yes absolutely thick as mince.

If the Court of Session does declare the Supreme Court's FWS ruling incompatible with the European Court of Human Rights, via a Declaration of Incompatibility... can't the D of I itself be appealed and overturned by the Supreme Court?

Or would that be like the SC marking its own homework? IANAL (obviously!)

It does feel like for some of these men, the thought of a man being raped by another man is horrific, whereas the thought of a woman being raped by a man is just, oh well.

When your politics makes you believe that a rapists right to have access to women is greater than the rights of women to be protected from rapists, you need to look at what exactly you believe in.

Not that all transwomen are rapists. But sexual offenders do seem over represented in the trans women prison population.

Moi aussi.

Sorry, Scotland.

What about the other 61 genders?!

Oooh, is this a nice example of a modern take on Karl Popper's principle of
falsifiability?

Mr Popper reckoned that "a scientific theory must be testable and potentially proven false (refuted) to be considered scientific, not just verifiable, using the "all swans are white" example: finding a single black swan instantly disproves the universal claim, even though finding many white swans can never prove it true; science progresses by actively seeking these refutations (black swans) rather than just confirming evidence (white swans)."

They are stark raving mad.

You’re assuming that thinking has occurred. I admire your optimism though...

Boofuckinghoo

The Supreme Court and the EHRC handed the Scottish Govt a get out of jail free card wrapped up in a red bow. Why won't they accept it? They could keep pulling regretful faces while blaming it on the bigger boys.

Don't true Indy believers in their party know that this topic isn't a vote winner, and will set their cause back? Look at how Sturgeon's career ended.

So I can't fathom their motivation. Is this really only about a genuine concern for trans prisoners?* Surely there's something else going on. A face saving exercise? A final petulant swipe at the UK govt for blocking self ID?

• I do think some male politicians are more concerned about transwomen getting raped in male prisons, than they are about women getting raped in female prisons. Being raped by a stronger man in prison is a common, visceral fear. Perhaps that's why they empathise with transwomen and want them to be "safe" and apart from men.

Oh FFS. The Supreme Court found transwomen are to be treated as their bio sex for equality purposes 🙄

I was about to ask, Who on earth votes for this shower?

Possibly a lot fewer people than once did, now that they have truly demonstrated the extent of their idiocy.

Oh good God 🤦‍♀️. Have they found a third gamete? No? Then they are not neither one sex nor the other, they are men.

There. I have just saved the Scottish Government and the Courts a lot of time and money. HTH.
