To think this delusional dirty pervert should stay exactly where he is and starve if that's what he wants?

There is currently a delightful person on hunger strike because the prison service won't "recognise their gender" and send them to a women's prison.

see here

Nobody seems to want to mention the fact that they are in fact a sex offender and voyeur who broke into teenage girls bedrooms to wank into their underwear Hmm

Why the hell they think they should be in a women's prison is completely beyond me. Anyone able to enlighten me?

You gotta love the Guardian! They are so desperate to manipulate the news about transgender issues (rather than investigate and report as their ethical predecessors used to do) that they fail to do even the most basic of checks.
But carry on - the more all this is exposed to public scrutiny, the better!

VivaLeBeaver · 27/01/2018 17:05

I’ve messaged one of the people behind WomensPlaceUk as well directing them over to here to read the threads. Thought it might be useful for them to know about this individual.

Justabunchofcunts · 27/01/2018 17:07

Might also be worth mentioning in tweets specifically which trans prison article he has written, as there is more than one.

Justabunchofcunts · 27/01/2018 17:08

Sorry, which of the articles you are referring to in your tweets, to avoid confusion

Gileswithachainsaw · 27/01/2018 17:09

Yanbu

His body his choice. Least he can die in his own underwear in his own sodding cell.

Sure the dress will look better if he lost a few pounds anyway Hmm

ptumbi · 27/01/2018 17:12

Oh god let he be put in a women's prison with women who are well sick of twats like him trying to control them. He's still got balls - let him be kicked in them, twice a day. Angry

I think a lone man in a woman's prison is not going to have an easy time - if he thinks he is, let him find out how wrong he is.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/01/2018 17:15

The Guardian do allow comments. Just not on trans articles where someone might actually post the truth

Hardly surprising is it, given that some feel the TRA's narrative mustn't be challenged under any circumstances Hmm

DrudgeJedd · 27/01/2018 17:20

Oh look, that thing that never happens is happening again.
The Guardian are as dishonest as any tabloid, the sooner it goes bankrupt the better.
Twats

I was about to say it's a bit harsh calling him a dirty pervert because he committed burglary and wants to be recognised as a woman.

That was when I had only read the Guardian link. I then read the second link and see what you mean.

I don't know why the Guardian gets a "free pass" compared to the Daily Mail, they are both as bad as each other. People will argue the DM is worse for generating hate but is it worse than covering up the truth and painting stories in a sympathetic manner? ALL media has an agenda, not just the DM.

HolyMountain · 27/01/2018 17:24

I’m not on Twitter, has Townsend responded to anyone yet?

MissionItsPossible · 27/01/2018 17:26

Oh and look at this little gem I found the other day. A "woman" is suing The Ministry of Justice because they put her in a men's prison for a week before transferring her to a women's prison. She says ‘Girls show their emotions, they cry and they self harm, but males when they have got a problem, they just let it out with violence.’

"Her" crime? Headbutting a bouncer. Ffs stop pandering to people. I am live and let live and if someone had full body surgery then I would, out of courtesy, refer to them how they wanted but I don't think that people taking hormones or having a boob job makes them a different gender

LizzieSiddal · 27/01/2018 17:27

It’s absolutely shocking that the Guardian hasn’t mentioned his crimes.

They are hugely relevant in this case, especially.

What the fuck are they thinking? Angry

UpstartCrow · 27/01/2018 17:28

Trans identifying male prisoners get things that women prisoners aren't allowed such as hair straighteners, and they get a higher allowance for cosmetics and clothes as well.

I dont think violent men and sex offenders should be allowed to change sex.

Lucydogz · 27/01/2018 17:29

mission it's the same journalist - Mark Townsend

MissionItsPossible · 27/01/2018 17:34

Lucydogz I'm confused, the two links in the OP and my link are all written by different people. What do you mean?

QOFE · 27/01/2018 17:36

She means that Mark Townsend who wrote the Guardian piece has a habit of writing sympathetic and light-on-facts articles about poor ickle trans girls in men's prisons.

Is Tara Hudson still in prison? How did that story end?

SimonBridges · 27/01/2018 17:46

However, it's the crazy lefties that would give this scum support

I am a signed up, card carrying, red flag waving 'lefty' and I would never support this bullshit.

Eltonjohnssyrup · 27/01/2018 17:47

The Guardian are scum. I remember when they refused to report the Cologne attacks and removed any mention of them from the comments section. When they finally had to acknowledge it they produced a horrible victim blaming piece.

They are just as misleading (if not often actually worse) than the Sun or the Mail.

And the Independent is mainly Saudi owned now.

There don't seem to be many truly reliable news sources left.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 27/01/2018 17:47

Why not use the headline sex offender threatens hunger strike

Becuase that is what this story is about

There is a hierarchy in prison sex offenders (especially those that commit crimes against children) are at the bottom often bullied does the public care not really a decision offender living in fear well maybe that’s the real punishment

HemanOrSheRa · 27/01/2018 17:48

Recent Tara Hudson article here - Mark Townsend is the journalist!

Also on Twitter there are left wing Labour members campaigning very hard for women's rights.

And I say this as a card carrying righty. It's a cross party issue of women's rights.

bellabelly · 27/01/2018 17:49

Tara Hudson is living in Belgium and suing the MoJ, according to an article in the Telegraph.

I believe they were realised in 2016.

QOFE

Oh, ok. It was just the other poster said "it's the same journalist" and I was wondering the same journalist as what? It may be me reading it wrong.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 27/01/2018 17:53

..However, it's the crazy lefties that would give this scum support. er, fuck off, I'm a "crazy leftie" and proud of it, however, I'm a woman and feminist first and I do not support this bollox.
