Some Highlights:
"David Davies, Conservative MP for Monmouth, said: ‘The Freedom of Information disclosures confirm my worst fears.
‘If self-identification happens, there will be men who will use it to get into places where women deserve security.
‘If someone with a penis is incarcerated, they should be in a man’s prison.’"
"Prison reformer Frances Crook said that she was worried that ‘some men with a history of extreme violence and sexual violence against women have found a new way of exercising aggression towards women’."
"The Ministry of Justice refuses to say how many of the 25 transgender prisoners in women’s jails – almost double previous estimates – were born men, and how many were women identifying as men.
Last night, it again refused to release this information, claiming it does not hold this data – although there are transgender inmates in just seven women’s prisons.
The ministry has confirmed there are no female-born transgender inmates in men’s jails."
Nicola Williams- "Some trans activists claimed our figures were false. So we fought on, using the Freedom of Information Act.
Six months later the Ministry of Justice has vindicated our figures – a process that should have taken 28 working days.
Yet, yesterday the Ministry was still hinting to reporters that our survey was somehow unreliable.
We carried on because women in jail have a right to demand that the proposed policy of ‘self-identified sex’ considers the impact on them, too.
We believe this issue needs to be discussed rationally. Data isn’t ‘transphobic’, facts aren’t ‘bigoted’.
But it’s incontrovertible that men convicted of abusing women have already broken the rules. Why would anyone want to make it easier for them to do it again?"
