Ian Huntley is a man ffs! Any woman wHo wants to accept this vile child murderer into the class 'woman' wants her head testing

CisCucumber · 28/12/2017 17:44

Huntley is as much as a woman as Lily Madigan or Alex Drummond are

ChickenPaws · 28/12/2017 17:44

It’s neither a man nor a woman. It’s a psychopath.

TheRottweiler · 28/12/2017 17:45

If Huntley wants to 'identify' as a female then that should be allowed. Obviously.

One rule for one should be the rule for ALL.

Tomorrow I am going to 'Identify' as a peanut butter sandwich and eat mesen for breakfast.

Saturday I think I will 'Identify' as a dolphin.

Tis so easy.......

Nomoretears56 · 28/12/2017 17:46

@WhatALoadOfBaubles,well said.

ATeardropExplodes · 28/12/2017 17:46

You're an utter transphobe op.

Ignore me, what do you think?

A man says they are a woman that's it, we all have to believe it

But what do you think?

Sorry op I thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic!

FoggieFishieCarpeDiem · 28/12/2017 17:49

Well, he can ‘identify’ as female if he wants to.

But it’s doesn’t sound like he’ll request to be transferred (according to the article), which is why I honestly don’t care.

‘It makes him feel like a celebrity.’

Which is exactly why we shouldn’t be talking about this. So yeah, that’s all I’ve got to say.

BertrandRussell · 28/12/2017 17:50

He's a man. And a psychopath.
He should be protected from
rape.

Phew!

The new dawn thing, you might want to bring it down a notch. :)

But what is the point of the debate when Ian Huntley has never said that he is a woman? It would be different if he actually had and a proposal was made to move him to a female prison or something. You can't stop him from wearing makeup or calling himself Lian (and given that the source is his fellow inmates, I wonder how true the whole thing is anyway).

Eatalot · 28/12/2017 17:52

The transactivists would defend him. Probably blame the fact that he killed little girls on transphobia he experienced in life..iv seen them threaten to kill pregnant womens unborn children to teach them a lesson about female privilege.

Lovesagin · 28/12/2017 17:52

We should talk about this because it's not too much of a stretch surely to think he might request it? Some other murdering bastard man might say theyare a woman and request it?

In the new world a man can say he is a woman and it will be so, so yes, we do need to talk about it.

SmileEachDay · 28/12/2017 17:52

t doesn't work like that.

Once he’s “lived as a woman” (whatever the fuck that means) for 2 years he can, under current law, apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate. Then he would by law have to be housed in a female facility.

If that legislation changes in the way that is currently being suggested, he doesn’t have to wait two years, he just has to say he’s a woman and off he pops.

Not a stupid man, Ian.

The only caveat is if the prisoner is too dangerous to be housed in a female prison as they do not have the same capacity to deal with high risk, aggressive prisoners as some male facilities. But I’m sure Ian will have been terribly well behaved.

HangryHanderSonOfGod · 28/12/2017 17:53

Slow trans day?

ATeardropExplodes · 28/12/2017 17:53

It is an example. If he did suddenly transition, where would we/he stand bearing in mind the proposals to the GRA? This could be someone's reality in the space of a few months.

Does new dawn make me sound like I've drank the koolaid?

SilverySurfer · 28/12/2017 17:54

PiffleandWiffle
My only hope is that he's been used as the "pretty boy" of the other inmates for so long now he thinks he is....

Works for me.

He's not a 'she' just because he has decided to change his name, more like an 'it'.

It doesn't actually mean that. It is dealt with on a case to case basis- he can ASK to be transferred but it does not mean that the prison authorities have to do it.

In Scotland, there is no need for prisoners to have a GRC under current regulations in order to be recognised as their chosen gender. Yet women's prisons in Scotland are NOT overrun with men identifying as women. Why is that?

Jaxhog · 28/12/2017 17:55

This is a perfect example of why it is such dangerous nonsense to allow people to self certify their gender.

If this goes ahead, I plan to self certify as a Penguin.

ATeardropExplodes · 28/12/2017 17:56

Yeah. You might want to phrase it 'new dawn' instead...Although Dawn might end up being someone's New name so be careful about that!

As I have explained, this is what already happens in Scotland- it is even more lax than the reforms would be (I presume they would still require a GRC even if it was self-certified to even entertain the idea of moving anyone). Why are Scottish female prisons not full of men identifying as women?

Lovesagin · 28/12/2017 17:58

I'll stick to cluster fuck then I think

Lovesagin · 28/12/2017 18:00

My understanding is a GRC wont be required, just feelz n shit

ATeardropExplodes · 28/12/2017 18:01

As I have explained

I was asking whether anyone here thinks that Ian Huntley could ever be a woman. If you think yes then that's fine. Lets try to keep it on topic.
