Beauty students asked to strip in front of trans rapist at college AFTER sex attacks

My AIBU title taken from this news article:

www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/beauty-students-asked-strip-front-29063499

This whole 'Isla Bryson' cluster-fuck has me angrier than I can describe.

These girls had to accept and trust this vile individual in their beauty course on the basis of Isla's claim to be a woman, nothing more. They even tolerated abuse from Isla.

They were not told this individual was facing charges of rape. The college claim they didn't know either. Because 'Isla' said he was a women, these young women felt they had no choice but to strip to virtually naked in front of him. Failing to do so would be 'bigoted'.

But he also happens to be a serial rapist. Young women, some possibly aged 16 or so, stripping to virtually naked while a serial rapist watches. If this was my daughter I would be going mad.

Where is the safeguarding?

AIBU to feel viscerally angry with all our politicians about this?

And I don’t necessarily mean the staff members directly. I mean the leadership of that college who didn’t have the guts to do what was right.

I mean the government, civil service, local councils, law makers. They’re all complicit in allowing this shit show. Shame on them all.

TangledWebOfDeception · 08/02/2023 13:47

Many of them haven’t just allowed it, they’re directly involved in driving it.

TangledWebOfDeception · 08/02/2023 13:50

(Just so we don’t let people off the hook on this. NO you didn’t just accidentally allow this terrible situation to arise because you ‘hadn’t thought it through’. That excuse doesn’t fly anymore. YOU did this. YOU drove it.)

nilsmousehammer · 08/02/2023 13:53

I'm still stunned to discover there truly are people openly in favour of women being compelled to validate a man with their body by undressing it in his presence, whether or not they consent or however distressing they may find it. And that those people will only graciously see a bit of an issue and grant those women a get out clause from this social duty after the man turns out to be a convicted sex offender.

Helleofabore · 08/02/2023 14:08

We know how it happens. We know that posters like pp have it set in their mind, for whatever reason, that they are right about this. That they have righteousness on their side. The right side of history.

It is the exact same exercise every single time:

It was only once, you cannot change the rules just for 'one bad apple'.

Oh... twice. Still you cannot say this is usual.

More? Well it is the young women's choice, they absolutely had the power to say no. They didn't.

What do you mean more than half males with a 'transwoman' identity are in prison for sex offences? So what, they are deliberately targeted by the police and unfairly biased by a hateful society - that is why so many are there!!!

What do you mean a male is waiting to be moved into the female prison! You fucking bigots, that is a RAPIST stop repeating that they identify as a transwoman!

Rinse and repeat the cycle.

And they truly believe they are wonderfully tolerant and inclusive.

Boiledbeetle · 08/02/2023 14:12

All these men decide to identify as women. 2 of them are rapists. Which 2 is it?

😁i was tempted to put two 👿👿because some posters seem to think there is something on the outside to be able to tell the bad ones from the good ones.

But the fact is, for those who are choosing to deny the truth of the matter, we don't let any of them in when they identify as men because some will probably have bad intentions. This doesn't change when the bad men say they are women. They can still hurt us, rape us, kill us.

Stop being a rapist apologist. The MAN enrolled on a course where HE knew young girdles would have to get practically naked in front of HIM.

HE used the fear that has been created regarding opposing the transgender ideology to try and Shane young girls to act against their instincts about their best interests.

The college enable HIM to do all of this without any regard to how this made women feel.

it doesn’t matter if the college knew there were rape charges. It is enough they backed up a MAN and his perverse wants in priority to the safety and dignity of women.

How can you not get this unless you see the Handmaids Tale as some kind of Utopia where women know their place.

OMG12 · 08/02/2023 14:35

Some twat on the internet tried to tell me that having “good” transwomen in women’s facilities would make them safer.

I mean, fuck me! How do some people actually survive day to day?

Yes, depressingly this is the point.

And all of the handmaidens who go along with it too.

nilsmousehammer · 08/02/2023 15:01

Shut up, swallow your feelings and humiliation and give up your dignity, and get your clothes off in front of this man to prove to him that you care more about his inner feelings than you do for yourself.

He may or may not be further abusing this power and abuse of you by sexual offending and totally non-reciprocally wanting to use you to meet his own needs, with no interest in your feelings or you as a person (but absolutely expects you to be all about him).

And a good woman would not worry about the odd rapist/sex offender/pervert/ their consent/bodily autonomy/beliefs/ needs because a man needs his ego stroking damnit .

It's like all that stuff scolding lesbians for selfishly prioritising their own orgasms when they could be providing straight sex to men who identify as lesbians and need servicing

How fucked up do you have to be not see the very major and frankly sociopathic issues with all this?

Good point. I’d like an answer from pro gender lies posters

And that’s before you get to issues of privacy and dignity

Sheesh - learn to punctuate, please!

They were coerced into undressing in front of an obviously unpleasant man, with threat of expulsion, if they didn't go along with the fantasy that he was a woman.

TangledWebOfDeception · 08/02/2023 15:28

Even if he had been or appeared entirely pleasant/as benign as a man can be, he STILL did not belong in the room whilst young girls/women were in states of undress. Every decent man absolutely knows this, and agrees.

Those girls/women should NOT have been coerced into this.

StephanieSuperpowers · 08/02/2023 15:28

Yeah, the threat of failing their course or being expelled can hardly be described as coercive because there's no record of him coming after them with knives.

SinnerBoy · 08/02/2023 15:31

They did know he was a bloke though.

334bu · 08/02/2023 23:00

They did know he was a bloke though.

Exactly, and if he had been a bloke who didn't say he was a woman, there would have been no way that he would have been allowed to be in an area where young girls had to strip off.

HufflepuffRavenclaw · 08/02/2023 23:22

They did know he was a bloke.

They also knew that if they had said "he's a bloke" they risked being thrown off the course and branded a horrible, bigoted, transphobe. So kept quiet.

SinnerBoy · 08/02/2023 23:37

Yes, but I think that the point is that the college knew he's a bloke.

They did . But no one is allowed to say that are they? All must bow to the god of gender or face punishment. The college couldn’t kick him off the course just as rape crisis centres and domestic violence shelters can’t exclude males if they claim they have the special trans state.

Emotionalsupportviper · 09/02/2023 08:06

The worst thing is @Happylittlechicken , at the moment they still can - the GRA allows some spaces to still remain fully female if it is necessary for the safety, dignity and privacy of women - unfortunately all of these places are falling over themselves to be "inclusive", so they just fling open their doors.

This may change, of course . . .

nilsmousehammer · 09/02/2023 09:30

SinnerBoy · 08/02/2023 23:37

Everybody knew he was a bloke.

They were all colluding together in the game of pretending this particular bloke is different to other blokes and it's kind to pretend like this and let this bloke do things and go places that blokes aren't usually allowed.

Even though it's awful for the women because everyone knows in hard reality he is a bloke.

And there's nothing more than hope that as well as distressing and humiliating and exploiting women in this pretense, he doesn't actually go on to physically abuse this privileged access.

Whoops.
