Trans related thread

According to the daily mail trans wings will now exist in prisons.

Karen Whites sexual assault of 2 women possibly 4 has apparently crossed the line.
There were I believe incidents of sexual assault of female prisoners by transwomen before this but they were ignored.

AIBU to be angry that women in female only spaces need to have multiple assaults against them by males before somebody says oops we got it wrong!!

This whole thing is getting out of hand IMO, slightly off topic but recently it was reported that trans women who have not undergone full transition should be in womens wards in hospitals. So then there was a debate, trans wards, but then there will be a trans women and trans men. Then there will be a kick off because you can’t separate trans from non trans because it’s predudiced. Like the NHS can afford this. It’s getting stupid!
So even if TW were to get uterus’s there basic chromosomes will always, regardless of how many pills they take, will always be a man genetically. It makes my head hurt 😔

Zerosum there is so much wrong with your post, it is actually hurting my head. You sound like an MRA and a GF.

Dame- of course the headlines are because they are trans. They wouldn't be in the women's prison in the first place if they weren't.

Personally, I'm not saying that they shouldn't be in there because they're trans. I'm saying they shouldn't be in there because they're MALE. No matter how they dress, behave, think, speak. They are male.

And vulnerable (and sometime violent too) female prisoners who have been given the shitty end of the stick their whole lives, whether it be because they are victims of domestic violence, child abuse, exploitation or whatever, should not have to share their space with a male prisoner.

CosmicCanary · 11/02/2019 08:30

zero

You are talking of females employed in male prisoners committing sexual assault.
That has nothing to do with males being housed in a female prison.

In your view because some females sexually assault males then no females deserve protection?

Why is it prisons are sex segregated?

CosmicCanary · 11/02/2019 08:37

Which do you think is the problem you should be posting about?

I will post what the fuck i like.

Males should not be in female prisons or anywhere else segregated by sex.

Just because females can be violent towards each other does not mean males should be allowed to sexually assault them...or do you think it does?

It's like that argument about how self-id will make no difference as predatory men go into women's toilets anyway to assault women, and it's against the law so if a crime is committed it can be reported. Hmm It's because nobody gives a fuck anyway about how many women are assaulted, a few more is neither here nor there.

birdsdestiny · 11/02/2019 09:08

Women can't rape in UK law.

birdsdestiny · 11/02/2019 09:11

Lots of children are bullied in schools, should we stop doing dbs checks on adults because of tgis. That seems to be the basis of your arguement. Bad things happen in prisons so we should abandon one of the safeguarding practices in prisons.

CosmicCanary · 11/02/2019 09:23

But as you apparently have a bee in your bonnet and would love to 'peaktrans' people, you should consider the significance of problems and not make them bigger issues than they are.

I have no interest in peak transing anyone if I did there are better examples I would use than prisons as we know how little female prisoners matter to the masses.

Love how you are telling me what I should be thinking and what problems should be important to me. 🤣😂🤣

Everyone loves telling women what they should think, including other women. And so often what they should be concerned about is "poor men".

those issues which will maximise the good for all of us.

Women make up more than half the human race. Now we're not allowed to define what a woman is, or it's 'literal hate'. Is half the human race not important to you?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 11/02/2019 09:33

The link supplied to the article that supposedly shows the propensity of women staff in prisons to sexually abuse males is dead.

Meanwhile, here is some evidence of the abuse of women officers by both male staff and inmates.

www.themarshallproject.org/2017/11/09/the-unique-sexual-harassment-problem-female-prison-workers-face

But let's not get derailed. This is about the abuse of women in prisons by transwomen - which has now (finally) been recognised as an issue and problem - which is a good thing.

CosmicCanary · 11/02/2019 09:43

Give your money to which ever cause you want zero I would not have the audacity to try and tell you what to do.

As for the "good of all of us" do females not count in that?
How is housing a male in a female prison good for all?

That is clearly what zero is doing. The first post was a give away.

The fact is 2 females were sexually assaulted by a male prisoner and that should never have happened. The view that TWAW is why it happened.

They're only women, though, so who cares? What we should be worrying about is the countless men in the world who get raped by women Hmm

Transwomen are women

No they aren't. They are TRANSWOMEN.

If they were women, these situations wouldn't arise

Oakmaiden · 11/02/2019 10:11

Interesting fact (thanks Sandi Toksvig), in every race and culture, male infants are more prevalent than female. About 65% of the population. This evens out around puberty as males are so much more likely to die before then. Isn't evolution amazing!

Shame it is not true. The natural ration is 105:110 (although in a few countries it is swayed further towards males, because females are more likely to be aborted.)
