Oh my.... the homophobia and misogyny that is now coming out on this thread.
Males! Males commit 99% of all sex crime in this and other western countries.
Lesbians have the exact same risk of committing sex crime as other FEMALES.
All MALES are treated as if they have the SAME risk of committing sex crime as other males for safe guarding. Why should this special group of male prisoners be treated any differently?
What does it matter if they have a cock or not?
Most women are better at correctly sexing a male person, even after 'transition'. A huge number of women have been subjected to male violence and abuse of some form and too often it is sexual.
The % of women in prisons in the UK that have been subjected to abuse and violence from males, has a much higher likelihood than even the too high number of women and girls in the general population. The number of survivors of sexual abuse and rape is huge in prison.
Remember that they expect that 1% of rapes are even recorded by the police! Imagine the number of MALES who are walking around who are rapists and sex abusers yet will never be reported.
So, women have said very loudly now that they are traumatised by any one that they see as MALE in spaces meant to be single sex.
Please tell us again how your homophobic question should even be entertained on this thread?
As for these 'Still, what about violent cis female offenders? Some are bigger than others and can overtake smaller cis female prisoners. Should we just organize prisons by strength and size then?'. Really? Do you actually understand the issues at all.
Would you like me to post the physical differences between male and female people? I can start with grip strength. A weak male in the lower 25% of all males is STILL STRONGER than a female in the 90th percentile.
I am very happy to post all the other stats for you. Let's discuss them.
And your delving into violence against these males, "Does Mument ever talk how often trans people are victims of violence? They face 4x as much violence as cis people:"
To be blunt. This is so tired 'whataboutery' that it is ridiculous to see it.
Really? 'What about the menz'? is what you are doing here.
What about every other vulnerable MALE in prison? Where do they go? In with the women?
NO. They go with all the other vulnerable MALES.
It is seriously not that hard to think critically about this. You just need to cut through the crap assertion that somehow these males are different from all other males.
And I think that you can safely say this week, that anyone who thinks these males are 'women' in any true sense, is well and truly behind the times. That is demonstrably untrue. Otherwise, Bryson would have simply been put into the female prison. No questions, no special provisions.
Please stop posting such homophobic posts on MN.
