OK-Join me in a "Who will lose their job first?" poll

And how soon" competition.

My money's on David Lammy by February.

A.k.a. 'sudden onset conviction dysphoria'.

I am pleased to read that the new government has already sorted out the criminal justice system and now the perpetrators of sexual violence are being brought to trial, this is quite a change from a week ago.

Which other group of people, besides answering ‘men’, could he say were hoarding rights and it be a mere error?

Any disadvantaged groups?

Or is it 'sudden conviction gender dysphoria'? It's hard to keep up with the latest criminal grift at the best of times.

I’d really like to know how many times it’s happened given that trans people of both sexes compromise 0.5% of the population.

Another poster has given figures for Scotland, that they are low numbers doesn’t matter for the women who will potentially be housed with male offenders who have committed offences against women. Female prisoners tend to have a different offence profile to men, and women are imprisoned at much lower numbers so a small number of men claiming womanhood has the potential to skew offence figures.

Lol. The tories underfunded the criminal justice system so much they cannot imprison criminals for the full length of their term. Male criminals who could attack actual real women. So is that Labour’s fault ? The f***g country is falling apart at the seams and yet these lot desperately want Labour to fail. Why ?

No I don’t think it’s remotely important. What is important is that it doesn’t happen or if it does that the perpetrators are punished.

But it is important. Understanding how and why violence is happening is how you tackle it before it happens.
My relative was murdered by a man because she was female. Two women a week are murdered by men because they are female. We need to know that information so that we can start to address the problem.

That's how we stop it happening.

I don't want labour to fail.
However, I can dislike certain politicians because I don't agree with their views and policies.
Supporting a particular political party doesn't mean blindly supporting all of the members.

Good luck with understanding men’s violence against women. And how would that understanding be achieved by not classifying trans women as women?

Because transwoman are men, obviously. They’re also disproportionately housed prison for sexual offences compared to other men. It’s important the reasons for this are understood and addressed - and it’s made clear that women are not responsible for those sexual offences.

There aren’t enough for it to make any difference to the stats. And you still haven’t answered my question. I didn’t ask the one you’ve answered.

Good luck with understanding men’s violence against women.

Oh I do understand it. When your mum is murdered by a man simply for trying to leave the relationship you make it your mission to understand. Tackling it is another challenge entirely. The patriarchy and misogyny run deep (in both men and women)

And how would that understanding be achieved by not classifying trans women as women?
Do you not understand how that would skew all of the data and make it nigh on impossible to understand and address the issue?

A biological woman's lived experience is always going to be different to that of a biological male. We know the average man is strongly and faster than the average woman and that strength means that women are more vulnerable in a volatile, violent situation.
If biological men who are violent start identifying as women and are categorised as such then that changes what we 'know' about violence against women and girls.
Suddenly men aren't a threat.....it's women who are the problem.

Moving away from violence......
more men than women are in leadership positions and many organisations have developed particular strategies to encourage more women into leadership. The reasons for this are complex and nuanced but are grounded in the lived experiences of being a biological woman. If we can't clearly identify those reasons then we can't address them.

We can apply this to pretty much every aspect of society. It's important.

Prevention??? Madam! clutches pearls

Stats are only valid if the data in is correct so they can be reported correctly. I have answered your question.

You haven’t but never mind.

I did - and I don’t

@CurlewKate I really don't understand why you started this thread. What were you hoping to achieve?

It comes across as you want to see people fail which in my mind is just plain nasty.

What were you thinking?

Has anyone mentioned Harvard yet?

Once or twice. Do Harvard offer degrees in biology?

Thanks

What's the evidence of Lammy being thick? Didn't he play an absolute blinder getting Starmer a meeting with Biden at D Day commemoration?

IlPerhaps some posters don’t know that he has already visited the US, in his then role as shadow. He was incredibly well received, not just by democrats but by some republicans too.

Possibly,it might not be the old fashioned type of biology though.

We've all said mortifyingly embarrassing things sometimes, surely?

I once wen through an interview for a job where I totally forgot the word metastasis.

I'm an oncologist.

Seriously?
The amount of male violence against women is not going to be "skewed" by including a few trans women victims. Sadly its an epidemic. As you know 3 women a month are killed as a result of domestic violence. How many of those have ever been trans women?

That's not the same as a member of parliament saying men can grow a cervix and calling women dinosaurs hoarding their rights though is it

He didn't do either of those things - its a tedious misrepresentation.
