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.

Well at least he's had his penis chopped off.

SnuggyBuggy · 18/07/2018 07:17

It does rather screw up statistics on male and female crimes if this is officially recorded as a crime committed by a woman.

treaclesoda · 18/07/2018 07:17

I care as well. As far as I'm concerned no man who committed a sex related crime should be in a women's prison at all, regardless of how much surgery they have subsequently had.

InTheRoseGarden · 18/07/2018 07:17

How sickening. That poor baby.

This should go without saying, but given the comments on this thread, here's a reminder that:

  • No amount of surgery or legislation can change human biology. It's astonishing that any sane and reasonable person can be led to believe otherwise.

  • The number of women who commit violent and sexual offences against children is vanishingly small compared to the number of men who do so.

This is a biologically male, violent sexual predator being housed alongside women. And the law facilitates this?!

If he identifies as a child will he be housed in a young offenders institute?

If we're going to start believing in the impossible why stop at changing your sex. I'd love to be 21 again.

And as for Vanessa George, the only reason we know her name is because her crime was so unusual that it made the headlines. I have no idea of the name of her male co-accused, and I bet loads of other people don't either.

FermatsTheorem · 18/07/2018 07:19

Please, no-one report boo's comment calling us bitches for objecting to a rapist who raped a baby with his penis into a women's prison.

It's so useful to see these views in black and white for everyone to read. Rapist whose victim was a baby (would still be a rapist under UK law which explicitly defines rape as penetration with a penis) in women's prison - fine. Women who object to this - bitches.

There it is: extreme transactivist in all its warped glory for everyone to read.

Booboobooboo84 · 18/07/2018 07:19

But you are being bitches. Bitching away about the wrong thing. Or are you now focusing on the wrong thing again. A baby got raped and your concern is whether the perp identifies as male or female. Read that sentence again and have a good long look in the mirror.

TheGoldenWolfFleece · 18/07/2018 07:19

Oh yeah booboo it really sounds like you care a lot about the victims of male violence. So much so you're willing to defend the delusions of a baby rapist/killer who beats up women.

Check out the legal definition of rape in this country. It's legally (and physically) impossible for a woman to rape anyone which is why Vanessa George couldn't be convicted of rape.

CantankerousCamel · 18/07/2018 07:20

Actually a woman has been found guilty of rape in the uk and women are frequently found guilty of rape in other countries for a variety of sexual crimes.

I fundamentally believe that rape and aggressive sexual assault should remain different because rape being a crime only committed by males makes understanding crime stats so much easier.

However, I think we have to accept now that so many countries call ASA rape, and charge women and men with it, that we can no longer assume.

CantankerousCamel · 18/07/2018 07:21

IFAIK, the woman who was charged with rape in the UK was part of a gang rape that she actively participated in. So a (number of) penis were still involved.

RadicalisedPortal · 18/07/2018 07:22

The majority of all violence is committed by males. The vast majority of all sexual violence is committed by males. This is true, it's reasonable to state this so that we can someday have the will to tackle male violence. This man committed a horrific crime. The law can state what it likes, people cannot change sex.

Boo an example of female violence does not mean that females are as violent as males, they aren't.

Booboobooboo84 · 18/07/2018 07:22

I care about the victims of violence. I don’t care about whether the perp identifies as male or female. That’s not important to me. Violence is violence.

FermatsTheorem · 18/07/2018 07:22

Women can be found guilty of rape under common purpose - but it's incredibly rare (and "accessory to rape" would probably be a more accurate description).

onedayiwillmissthis · 18/07/2018 07:25

A man raped a 3 month old baby.

Said man was then allowed to decide to have his penis removed, be provided with breast implants and declare himself a woman.

Said man is now allowed to reside in a woman's prison.

Said man can now...what...play with is own breasts and fantasize...getting off on his sense of power over the other inmates...his getting one over on the society and real women!

Said man is biologically STILL a man...a eunoch is still a man...even with a pair of f*cking double d's😠

TheBiologicalWoman · 18/07/2018 07:25

But you do care Boo. Your post was quick to lie that this man was a woman.

Gaspodethetalkingdog · 18/07/2018 07:27

The world is being destroyed by human overpopulation, global warming, forests cut down all the other animals being wiped out and everyone goes on about this it is a man and always will be.

FermatsTheorem · 18/07/2018 07:28

According to official stats, men make up 90% of those imprisoned for violent offences in the UK and 98% of those imprisoned for sexual offences. The majority of women in prison are there for non violent offences. They have a much higher likelihood of having been the victims of child sexual abuse and domestic violence than women in the general population. It is not right to lock these often vulnerable women up with male bodied sex offenders no matter how said sex offenders identify.

MrsPear · 18/07/2018 07:28

But the UK has separate legal systems it was Scotland and she was guilty by assistance not actual rape.

And it is important not to forget biology. The average biological male (XY) is stronger and heavier than the average female (XX). If you consider the biology then you will see a biological woman is far more likely to be the victim than the perpetrator.

Here is a question find a lone biological woman who has gone out and hunted and raped. Please post examples.

Oh and please get terminology correct it is possible to change gender but not sex. A transsexual woman will always be XY that cannot change no matter what surgery or pro noun they choose.

Booboobooboo84 · 18/07/2018 07:29

But it’s not a lie. They are a woman. We can not agree on that. I’m fine with that. But the world is changing as it does. Society is changing as it does. And soon your view will die out. And it will become widely accepted that people can be born with the wrong gender and that they have the right to change that gender.

I’m not defending what this woman did. Not one little bit. It’s abhorrent. But I will defend their right to call themselves a woman. Because while
It leaves a bitter taste that someone who has raped could call themselves a woman the fact of the matter is they can.

And yes women are capable of great evil. My mother and her two sisters being in that category. So don’t tell me just because more men are convicted that it’s a male crime. 1 person hurting another is unacceptable regardless of whether they identify as male or female.

And I think the focus should be on the victim not the perp. Always.

RLOU88 · 18/07/2018 07:30

You clearly do care, Boo, as you’re the one arguing his case. Which is scary in itself.

MrsPear · 18/07/2018 07:32

Also there was a really interesting article about language I read once where with real certainty you could work out a persons biological sex by their written word. Must find it.

Booboobooboo84 · 18/07/2018 07:32

I’m arguing her case @rlou88

Booboobooboo84 · 18/07/2018 07:33

That’s presuming the baby is female. Like I said I’m on the side of the victim and that’s who you should be talking about. Not whether the perp identifies as male or female.

0ccamsRazor · 18/07/2018 07:33

I would say that the correct classification should be a male woman.

Sex as in biology, xx = female, xy = male

Gender as in social construct, woman or man.

So a female xx that has gender reconstuctive surgary is a female man.

A male xy that has gender reconstructive surgery is a male woman.

Stats on crime etc should be defined by biological sex with gender as a secondary function.

This male woman is a vile person.
