Anyone else not comfortable with this being counted as a crime committed by a woman? And really not comfortable with this person not going to jail? I don't care if there are no female specific classes, (there is a reason for that btw, because women don't do this shit) this person was male enough to commit the crime they are male enough to go to men's prison.

I really don't get the transgender hate on here. Yes, she did appalling things, but my mum was an accessory to similar appalling things. I do agree that she should be in jail, but psychologically she's female and her gender has nothing to do with the acts.

As far as I can work out, she has had gender reassignment surgery? The article states sex change but I'm never sure what that exactly means. I know it's a controversial subject but my belief is if you have a penis you should be in a male prison, vagina in a female prison. Just what makes the most sense to me.

Regardless of what kind of prison she was put in, she should definitely be in jail.

This thread has very little to do with the crime committed by this woman, and everything to do with expressing hatred for transgender women as not 'proper' women. It's vile.

Bollocks to that. Stop trying to close down the discussion. This thread is about a person who has got away with committing a disgusting sex crime. That's what is vile here.

If you use your dick to abuse a child you should go to a male prison. End of.

Your feelings on gender are hardly fucking relevant when you use your dick to abuse someone

You can't be psychologically female that's a ridiculous statement. Prisons should clearly be separated by physical sex as they have always been.

Tara what's her face had supposedly had a sex change too. She had breast implants and a working penis. Transitioning doesn't actually mean dick cut off anymore

you keep on spewing your hate by all means.

I will, thanks, but not because she is transgender but because she's a vile person who committed an horrific crime and has got away with it.

They should definitely have gone to jail. The statements from the judge were a disgrace, minimising the trauma to the victim and saying there were no relevant courses ffs
As for the discussion about which jail, where is the evidence that they don't have a penis? I didn't read anything that gave details of their surgery. I wouldn't assume surgery means no penis when it could just mean breast implants. A wing for trans prisoners would be best.

RhodaBull · 03/08/2016 08:17

It's preposterous to think you can get away with a crime by altering aspects of your person. You might as well let off Yew Tree et al people on the grounds of, "Well, they're old now."

The crime was committed, and if found guilty the perpetrator serves the appropriate sentence. As others have said, the extent of the sex change should dictate where the sentence is served.

pleasemothermay1 · 03/08/2016 08:20

Yes, she should go to jail. No question there. But why not a women's prison?

if he will abuse a small boy why would the abuse a woman

And why not a Mans prison on the Vp wing pedofiles are not attracted to tan sexual men do they will be fine

So, if they hadn't used their dick where should they go? If the abuse had been purely physical on the child rather than making the child touch them, would that make having a penis irrelevant.

It's unlikely he would be abused on the VP wing pedofiles like children
Hence them being pedofiles

This is not a woman.

There is no such condition as being physically male but psychologically female. It's impossible. Not true.

It's not inflammatory to say this person will never be female, it's objective fact.

Trans dogma involves so much magical thinking and suspension of critical faculties.

This person lived 58 years as a man, committed a sexual crime against a child as a man. Who says that perpetrators programmes for men wouldn't be appropriate? Less than 2 years 'living as a woman' (whatever that means) and they are a whole entirely new person? Sorry but no, psychology doesn't work like that.

FerdinandsMassiveBollocks · 03/08/2016 08:33

I do.
