I’m not particularly well educated, I’m peri menopausal to an alarming degree and it has been a bloody long week already, so I may have misunderstood what you mean by causation. I’ve always understood it to mean cause and effect. So if you’re a life long heavy smoker, you’re at increased risk of developing lung cancer. If it’s really hot and sunny, ice cream sales will rise.
So are you asking for examples where the erosion of boundaries (using single sex spaces, to cite one of the examples that seems to annoy you that women are pissed off about) causes men to develop disgusting fetishes? Because that certainly wasn’t what the PP was suggesting and that it has occurred to you suggests either internal transphobia on your part, or an attempt to see transphobia where none exists.
Or are you asking for examples where men with disgusting fetishes go on to erode boundaries? Because if you are, I’m wondering if you’ve become confused between causation and correlation?
Yes but that is nothing to do with this man’s depraved activities. I object to the person saying “this is what happens when you let trans people exist!” because it is a completely separate issue You’ve completely missed the point. It is sailing so far above your head that you would need a telescope to see it. Absolutely nobody on this thread has suggested that trans people have disgusting fetishes. That would be transphobic and you should report it to MN immediately so they can clamp down on it. The point is that because boundaries have been eroded, this crime has likely been reported as a woman’s crime. And now, because boundaries have been eroded, his legal team are claiming that he should not be sent to prison because of his trans status, because it will make him vulnerable. And that is far from the first time that this defence has been used. And, finally, because boundaries have been eroded, there is a risk that ‘exceptional circumstances’ could see this man in a woman’s prison, or that he could get away with it completely. Because it’s not as though the previous restrictions placed upon him had any effect, is it?
THIS is what happens when you allow men’s crimes to be reported as having been committed by a woman. THIS is what happens when you place men in women’s prisons. THIS is what happens when a section of society are judged ‘too vulnerable’ to be placed in prison at all, (but not vulnerable enough to warrant being detained in a hospital) rendering them above the law and free to smear their shit over someone else’s milk bottles. That would be causation.
