To be bored of the trans hate?

Ok, there are extremists (like the punch people in the face person), extremists can be found in many areas of life but is anyone else fed up of the trans stuff constantly being dragged up?

I've seen some ridiculous statements on here recently. Everything gets something added related to trans when it's totally irrelevant. It's getting boring. Trans extremists are not the norm so can we stop pretending they are?

Not really compelling there.

Usually public speaking is watchable. See if you can find it otherwise no, it’s just you.

You don't have to look very hard tbf

No woman has to be raped or sexually assaulted in order to have the right to be in a prison away from biological males, who statistically pose more risk to women. It's not difficult.

60% of the percentage of men who say they are women in jail are there for sexual crimes, against 18% for men who do not say they are women.

So 3 times as likely to commit sexual crimes than men who do not say they are women.

Did you actually think anyone that for a nanosecond? There are many, many, many more men who identify as men than men who identify as women. 60% of a vanishingly small number is going to be far fewer than 18% of a huge one. Give us the actual numbers and you’ll see how ridiculous it is to link those two statements.

You really don't understand how statistics work, do you?

That doesn't mean they were sharing cells or showers.

But they are.

One even took the prison authorities to court because he wanted to shower at the same time as the women. Having to sower separately was against his human rights apparently.

And if they could be held in solitary in the women's estate, then they could be held in solitary in the men's.

When and where in a UK gaol?

People assert all kinds of things as Convention Rights. It only matters if they succeed. Did they in the circumstances you mention?

I thought so viper.

Apparently the contempt shown in "But that doesn’t fit the frothing desperation on here" is very acceptable.

Agreed. MN has a weird obsession with this. What's particularly annoying is people posting their hate outside the Trans topic.

StephanieSuperpowers · 10/07/2023 17:21

I would imagine the risk to a trans woman held in a male prison is significantly higher than to other women if she was held in a female prison.

And how does this mean that he's a woman? Is a woman now just a person of any sex who is at risk in a male prison?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/07/2023 17:21

When were women in gaols in the UK raped by a trans woman?

They've been sexually assaulted, if you're hanging on the word "rape". Have you really never heard of Karen White?

Who do you think is responsible for male on male violence then?

Iamnobirdandnonetensresme · 10/07/2023 17:21
A short clip from Afterlife with RIcky Gervais sums it up nicely. If you have to identify as something then you're not it to start with.

Lots of men are at risk in the male estate. It's not a reason for women to have to share with men. Female people aren't just background in men's lives.

wincarwoo · 10/07/2023 17:23

@Daphodils are the men paying you? Or are you just a collaborator?

Imagine coming onto a women's forum and criticising women for wanting to protect their rights.

Can you tell us please, how many women do you consider 'acceptable collateral' in your push for inclusion?

Now, you can turn around and dismiss this incident because the guidance has been changed, however, this incident was not considered 'enough' by committees to make the change before Isla Bryson. So, I look forward to you telling us how many female prisoners will be considered acceptable collateral for you to make a permanent law change that the next government in power will not simply over rule?

1? 2? I mean there have already been 7 reported cases up to a few years ago. I don't know if that included Amy's even.

'I was assaulted in a women's prison by an inmate with male genitalia'

Amy was equally well aware that 'J' still had male genitalia because she often intimidated her and fellow female prisoners at HMP Bronzefield in Ashford, Middlesex, by exposing them.

So your feminism is limited only to women in the Uk, focusing primarily on the prioritisation of validating males?
Interesting definition

No.

I'm English and a UK national and resident. I'm arguing that the UK law, as it stands, has the way it deals with trans people broadly right.

How other countries do it is for them and their citizens. I'd would though rather views based on US experience and US politics were not imported to the UK.

Tbh, the more i see from transphobic women on here, the more i wish i could distance myself from that image of what being a woman is, it bothers me intensely that i have to share a gender with that level of hate and vitriol.. makes me want to dump 'she/her' and opt for they/them just to let my trans friends know i'm NOT one of those hateful people... and i'm not the only one who feels that way.

Off you go then.

Oh and Bromptotoo, is it only female people being raped as being the deciding factor for you? Sexual abuse and sexual assault not a problem for you ?

booksandbrooks · 10/07/2023 17:28

People are acting like it's all trans hate. I'd say it's more concern.

That what is a women film mentioned the statistic that trans people were most likely to commit suicide 7 years after transition.

The medical treatments currently available are largely untested and adequate evidence is still not being gathered.

(Especially not puberty blockers are meaning the nature of bottom surgery and where they source excess skin from is making the procedures increasingly dangerous.)

I'd say most gender critical people don't care what clothes anyone wears. That's the point, gender is a social construct.

Don't feed that narrative that fashion and character traits see bedfellows with lifelong medical intervention. Boys can have as many bows and frocks as they want (and vice versa) they can live how they want but the lesson should be to accept your style/ personality and biological sec.

"FDJ
Former female offender, England
“Being in prison with male prisoners, you always feel on edge. You know something could happen at any time. We know they are not women. They are physically threatening and aggressive. I was sexually assaulted and I am not the only woman who has been. They haven’t had surgery and they expose themselves. One of them had been told he couldn’t shower at the same time as us women. He made a formal complaint and said this was a breach of his human rights. So now he is allowed to shower with us. And because he now has that right, the other males have that right too. There’s only a shower curtain between us. He moves the curtain so we can all see his penis when he is washing himself or shaving his legs. This is disgusting and I think it is disgusting that the prison allows this.
We can’t complain about anything. They are very well protected and it feels like our rights as women just don’t count. We have to call them ‘she’ and ‘her’ and have to use their female names. If we don’t, we are punished and lose our enhanced prisoner or D-Category status. It is horrible to do that to women.
I am very upset that I lost my legal case. I can’t understand how anyone can say that imprisoning males alongside women is the right thing to do. The prisoner who attacked me was convicted of the most serious sexual offences against girls and still has his penis. How can the government say that putting him in prison with women is the right thing to do? It’s not. I am out of prison now. But I think about all the other women still in prison who have to live with these males. This is dangerous, disgusting and wrong"

It's not for women or men to solve. It's for the prison authorities.

Exactly, they can manage vulnerable men on the male estate.
