General Trans Discussion Thread

[IBelieveTheEarthIsFlat]

I seem to be hitting #PeakTrans on a daily basis now and thought it would be useful to have another general thread to discuss/post/share

If you haven't seen Magdalen Berns' recent blog post it's really worth a look

Oh my. I love

This is brilliant

Have you guys seen the BBC website? Tara Hudson is complaining of inhumane treatment due to being kept in isolation whilst in a woman's prison. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-37837264

What did Tara Hudson do to be sent to jail? I've heard of her but I don't know much about her.

And yes, IBelieve, dd loves her!! She watched that the other day and came to show me straight away!

I seem to remember it was assault, but tara also made a living as an escorts with a fully functioning surprise...

Head butting a barman knocking out all his front teeth. It was something like Tara's 7th or 8th conviction for assault/ GBH.

Ah, that would make sense as to why she's in jail. DD thinks she should be in a male prison. I think I agree with her.

Tara Hudson is a violent man with a long criminal record who boasts about his dick. He looks very girly, at least in his escort photos, though I wonder how he looks in day to day life.

There's a photo on the BBC story

Is Magdelen B a mumsnetter?

Tara Hudson was only in prison for six weeks, she was released a while ago. IIRC she just hadn't got round to applying for a GRC but wanted to be treated as if she had: reminded me of the threads on here where unmarried women want the same rights on separation as if they had been married but without getting the necessary piece of paper

This quote from the article is interesting

"Eastwood Park's governor, Suzy Dymond-White, said a "one size fits all" approach would not work.
"I would prefer to maintain people as individuals and transgender people are at different states of transition and they have different backgrounds and they're in different states not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well," she said."

I think they wanted this prisoner separate from the female inmates because they are an extremely volatile and violent person with all the strength of a male. I'm glad they kept the women safe

So again, I put this in my other thread but this one is way more active and thought maybe you'd want to know if you didn't already.

(from other thread):
'Umm. So, after quick park trip and McDonalds lunch, dd rushed to refresh the GCT website and they've mentioned mumsnet.'

The Spartacus thread. Personally I wasn't on it but have seen it. DD is over the moon they've posted again (strange child). I posted the link to it up above on pp ^^

And yes, redrocket, I'm also really glad they kept the women safe

www.breitbart.com/london/2015/11/03/violent-transgender-male-prostitute-moved-female-prison-advertised-7-inch-surprise-sex-site/

I have to say, I am uncomfortable with using Breitbart as a source. They are virulently fascist, and would probably publish articles about "blood libel" if they thought they could get away with it.

Yeah I know. In this case it's a summary of what's on the Web though. Google Tia Star Bath for details. If you can stomach it

It's coming to something when you have to rely on that kind of outlet to report this stuff really.

Oh no, Enid. That's sad. Wonder why?

Did anyone watch the trans American road trip? I didn't see the whole thing, but was particularly offended by a Brian, sometimes Bree who commented that trans is the last taboo now we've cleared up women's rights, racism, gay rights etc. His long suffering wife was present. He was clearly a cross dresser, a man with a fetish. I turned it off as I'd had a hard day and didn't want to be wound up at bedtime.

I know, Enid Dd was upset about that

It's back!!!!

So it is. Oh, I am pleased! Have just read all the entries and will have to get myself on tumblr to send supportive messages.

Smashinggenderchange.wordpress.com - an interesting article written about by a gender nonconforming man about his experiences in transgender support groups and his observations on how lesbians are treated/talked about by the trans community.
