To think that if you commit a male crime, you should do male time, even if you identify as a woman?

I know this is a sensitive topic but I’ve been thinking about how justice systems handle trans women who commit serious crimes, especially violent or sexual offences, and whether it’s fair to house them in women’s prisons. To me, if you were born male and commit a crime typically associated with male offenders, particularly one involving violence against women, it seems like common sense that you should serve time in a male facility. Identity doesn’t erase biology or risk in those cases.

AIBU to think fairness and safety, especially for vulnerable female prisoners, should come before ideology?

This is why you think everyone on mumsnet agrees with you. They are too afraid to speak, because this is how nasty you are.

I see you for who you are and it won’t stop me from telling the truth, which is that trans experience is real, it is valid and there is nothing whatsoever wrong with being trans. It’s no threat to you, it’s not threat to women, it’s no threat to anyone. It’s just another facet of the beautiful tapestry of human diversity.

You’d think they’d be voting YABU in the poll then, wouldn’t you? Unfortunately for you, it’s clear that on Mumsnet as well as in the wider world, people aren’t buying it any more, if they ever were.

And forget mumsnet, poll after poll in the real world show the public agrees with us. Those polls get better and better as each year goes by. 🙂

A lot of people avoid these threads because they are full of toxic posters. It’s always the same few usernames on these threads,

But yes ask a soft ball question like should people with a penis go into a male prison and most people will say yes (that’s why all the faux concern about the safety of prisoners - people love to whip up transphobia with that example), but most people in the real world do not share you extremism. Your absolute black and white thinking and the vitriol and contempt that you have for trans people.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/10/2025 23:48

In your opinion. You’ve called other people nasty. Time to take a good look in the mirror.

Actually, under my definition of nasty, your posts are extremely nasty. If you get to have your own definition of words, so does everyone else. Well to be fair your posts are extremely nasty by any definition of the word.

Yes, I saw them. They aren't even human to write that, or I can only imagine a person who would do that is a male that gets off on womens discomfort.

This seems very likely.

That would be awesome. Maybe try starting a thread requesting it on site stuff?

There's no passing as a women. All the drugs and surgery in the world will not make a man into a women.

He goes to a male prison, it is not womens problem to solve.

If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

This. 100% this.

I wonder why that is.

Let's review again some of the abuse and bullying from the mouths of anti-trans-activists (A-TRAs) on this forum against people who challenge transphobia:

They aren't even human
I can only imagine [that] person... is a male that gets off on womens [sic] discomfort.

You can't because the truth is there are none.

Dr Upton...is not now, has not even been and will not ever be female.

Dr. Upton does not agree with you. Dr. Upton is a trans woman, that means that Dr. Upton recognises/ understands herself to be female, despite having been born with observable male characteristics.

This is the reality of who Dr Upton is: she cannot help it, she cannot change it. You are not required to have her be your doctor, but you cannot change who Dr Upton is . That is DU's reality regardless of the force of your opinions about her.

Edited

And this is the crux of the problem. They are a trans woman - and to be a trans woman you need to be male. So you and they know that Upton is in fact male. By says he is trans he is saying he is male.

he can believe himself to be female, but he knows that he is trans and therefore biologically male.

And we know people cannot change sex. So he is still male. We all know this.

he can identify as female. He can present as female. He can live as female. No issues with any of that at all. But he can't say he IS female, as he isn't. And he cannot expect others to agree that he is female. He isn't. Given he has lived most of his life as male, he knows this too.

thr problem he has is in court he claimed to be a biological woman. Something he cannot be as he is a trans identifying male.

he knows his presence in the changing room made others uncomfortable yet didn't care. He has said in court he would ignore a patients request for a female doctor. That's not a nice person nor a good doctor. It's the complete opposite. And it's someone who shouldn't practice medicine.

its important to note that despite the toxic environment in Fife nhs (for anyone who is gc) Sandie Peggie was cleared of harassment.

it became very clear in the tribal that Upton lied. And processes were not followed by management. Fife nhs (sadly my local nhs trust) is clearly badly run. A problem not just in Fife to be fair.

if a trained medical professional can't recognise the differences between the sexes, that could have disastrous results for the patient. And in a medical setting, it's the patients needs that trump the doctors.

But yore the one saying words have different meanings to people. Do you can’t complain when people use words in a way you don’t like. Either all words have universally accepted meanings or words can mean whatever anyone wants them to mean. Which is it?
