To feel sickened that this man is being referred to in this way (WARNING UPSETTING CONTENT)

This man raped a three month old baby boy to the point where the baby needed corrective surgery.

He is now in a women’s prison in Canada where he has beaten up a female inmate.

THIS is where self ID leads. Men like this being incarcerated with women and their crimes being counted as female.

Go on, Mumsnet, delete me for deliberately misgendering a male baby rapist.

THIS.IS.A.MAN.

Perhaps this story will illustrate why feminists are so up in arms about self ID.

I would love to see even the staunchest anti-women transactivist tell me that this person is a woman and that they belong in a women’s prison.

An evil woman commits an evil act and is sent to prison where she assaults inmates.

Who are you referring to here? Not the man in the OP who raped a baby with his penis I hope?

You can't see how this is anything to do with trans issues? Confused

Candyflip · 18/07/2018 10:14

You can support your family member without buying into the bullshit.

She probably wouldn't have attempted to attack another man in the male prison he should be in though, for fear of being injured.

Skarossinkplungerridesagain · 18/07/2018 10:15

Candyflip I've already asked how I'm being transphobic, you've yet to explain yourself. But please feel free to report me to MN.

sundaymorningatwork · 18/07/2018 10:16

Why can't you keep the concepts separate?

The crime is a horrific crime, and the classification of their gender is irrelevant to that.

There is an issue of safety of inmates, but that is an issue irrespective of gender. Men in prison should be protected from violent or dangerous inmates. Women in prison should be protected from dangerous inmates.

SnuggyBuggy · 18/07/2018 10:16

You cant bully the world to recognise you as something you are not.

TheBiologicalWoman · 18/07/2018 10:17

So a transman is 'vulnerable' in a male prison. Would that be because many male inmates are indeed violent and rapists?

Yet a transwoman in a female prison is cock of the walk because most women are not violent rapists and because said transwoman has a penis, a physical advantage and history physical, sexually agressive behaviour.

And is a paedophile.

Candyflip · 18/07/2018 10:17

Skaross If you truly believe that people can be born in the wrong body, then your nephew was never actually female were they? But she was wasn’t she? Do you see how ridiculous the arguments are? They are just circular and meaningless. I am pointing out to you that many TRAs would view your statements as transphobic.

Hangingaroundtheportal · 18/07/2018 10:18

Why can't you keep the concepts separate?

You don't think there is anything wrong on any level with insisting that everyone refer to a man who raped a baby with his penis as a woman? Just on his say so?

iliketosmellcandles · 18/07/2018 10:18

Someone I love very much was sexually assaulted by an aunt as a child. He subsequently took his own life 3 weeks ago.

Let's stop focusing on the sex of the perpetrator, and instead focus on the person that matters here, who is the victim.

HeartCurrent · 18/07/2018 10:18

Probably get dragged for saying this but I agree. For me a Male Human committed this crime. They might self identify as a woman but genetically it was a man who raped this child. Abhorrent. To then put this person in a prison where woman have pictures of their children around is terrible however in a male prison fathers do the same. I genuinely believe murderers and rapists of this level should just be placed in solitary confinement and receive deep intensive therapy sessions. If they can not live a rehabilitated life inside prison then a secure hospital it is. I don't see the gender as a problem men and women commit horrendous crimes everyday. I do think that trans or self ID is a massive problem in the prison system that needs to be addressed ASAP. No matter if a man sees himself as a woman, he used his male genitalia (at the time) to rape a child. He should of then been tried as man and sent to a male prison? Is that how it should work? Would people feel more comfortable with that? I'm serious I'm not being sarcastic these are genuine questions that should be answered.

NotAnotherNoughtiesTune · 18/07/2018 10:19

Yes this is a man.

He is a vile specimen and should be gutted in a literal sense.

But I think self ID is ridiculous. You should have the relevant physiological changes and hormone replacements and once this happens, you should be allowed to identify yourself as female.

I wouldn't class you as a woman but I'd be happy to call you one in this scenario.

Although I'm against self ID let's make it clear here cases like this are very rare. We don't see it every day which is why it's making the news.

Skarossinkplungerridesagain · 18/07/2018 10:21

Candyflip I'm using the language my nephew uses to describe himself having gone through it. If I offend anyone then I'm sorry for that. Thanks for pointing it out and please me know the language I should be using so I can explain it to my nephew.

hungryhippo90 · 18/07/2018 10:21

Whatever sex they are, they are a sex offender.

More than that it doesn’t matter.

They shouldn’t be able to remove themselves from their offending by having a sex change. Nope. No way.

Person commits crime and is sent to prison where they commit assault. I think all this would have happened irrespective of whether or not the person called themselves a man, woman or 3 headed monster.

She probably wouldn't have attempted to attack another man in the male prison he should be in though, for fear of being injured
Why would you think that? Violent men assault other men in male prisons all the time. Fear of being hurt doesn't seem to stop them.

Candyflip · 18/07/2018 10:24

I don’t care what language you use. But your inconsistencies highlight the major flaw in your claim that humans can change sex. It is absolute bullshit. Tell your family member that and save them a lifetime of dangerous drugs and surgeries. They were not born in the wrong body. Their body is their own and they have their own unique personality. Just like everyone else.

Noqont · 18/07/2018 10:25

Of course your family member is Skaros. They are a biological female no matter how they identify in terms of gender. And because of that they need to be treated as female in a medical setting. You wouldn't be happy if they became ill because their female biology was ignored would you. And I doubt if they committed a crime they would be sent to a male prison. I don't believe there are any biological females / trans men in a male prison setting. Apart from staff. Because they are vulnerable. There's no issue in using the pronouns someone wants in order to be polite. It matters little. But when it comes to the really important things the biological truth cannot be ignored.

Skarossinkplungerridesagain · 18/07/2018 10:26

Candyflip you obviously do care as you spent 20 wasted posts telling me I was being transphobic. As I said we don't care about what you think his life doesn't affect you and your views won't affect his happiness.

Candyflip · 18/07/2018 10:27

I bet they do.

Skarossinkplungerridesagain · 18/07/2018 10:27

Sorry 2 not 20. Thanfully

Babynut1 · 18/07/2018 10:28

If you’re a man you’re a man, if you’re a woman, you’re a woman.

Live your lives how you want, dress how you want. But you are what you are.

Skarossinkplungerridesagain · 18/07/2018 10:28

I bet what do?

Hangingaroundtheportal · 18/07/2018 10:28

Someone I love very much was sexually assaulted by an aunt as a child. He subsequently took his own life 3 weeks ago.

That is absolutely horrific, I'm so sorry.

That doesn't change the fact that 98% of sexual crime is committed by men.

Every time women try and discuss male violence they are silenced with 'not all men are like that', 'women do it too' or 'this person identified as a woman so they are not a man, even though they raped a baby with their penis'.

What hope have we got of ever solving the problem of male violence if we are never allowed to discuss it?

Skarossinkplungerridesagain · 18/07/2018 10:29

Actually it doesn't matter. You're inconsequential to me. I'm not going to change your mind, you're not going to change mine. Have a good day.
