I'm so pissed off about this.

Idiot.

Clarice, Tara will be impressed that you've enlarged the surprise package!

How much did Tara say it was? I remember reading 8"

It was a "seven inch surprise".

Great use of alliteration.

Oh by an inch according to Spiked.

Still a big cock.

Why not put him in a segregated wing for all the trans prisoners. They can have their girly chats about stabbing people together.

I support this as a third space option.

Yes - what kind of nail polish doesn't chip when you give an upper cut with a bunch of fives.
Which brand of bras work best for keeping in chicken filets when you stomp on heads. That kind of thing.

Given that the prison service have it at their discretion to decide where trans identifying males are sent, what possible logic is there for sending this one to a women's prison? If you needed proof that the whole "oh well the prison service is able to make judgements about who goes into a women's prison, so they'll be sensible about who they do send there" isn't working then this person is exhibit A.

Best foundation which doesn’t smudge when head butting?

Indeed.

Is some poor woman who couldn't afford to pay her TV license going to be forced to share a cell with this person? If so, do the prison service think that's OK?

Pretty sure that counts as cruel and unusual punishment.

Indeed cauliflower and which must-carry blending brush best restores any contouring after dabbing the blood spatters off.

thread about the alleged sexual assault of four female prisoners by a male-born person in prison:

There is not, I think, any need for "male born" when talking about these prisoners - nor to mention penises. By definition the prisoners that the press report as "transgender" are, in law as well as in fact, men; the press would not be allowed to say they were transgender if they held a GRC.

Some enterprising person could make a kit especially for those moments where your delicate feminine rage has led to an unfortunate headbutting/stabbing your neighbor incident.

Given that the prison service have it at their discretion to decide where trans identifying males are sent, what possible logic is there for sending this one to a women's prison? If you needed proof that the whole "oh well the prison service is able to make judgements about who goes into a women's prison, so they'll be sensible about who they do send there" isn't working then this person is exhibit A.

Going by that list of previous, this one is that person down the pub you don't catch the eye of or look sideways at because they're known for explosive rage and you might get glassed.

(It's fucking ridiculous that I have to say person in this comment to avoid a deletion because we all know that I don't mean person. It's like typing in hobo code or something.)

Instead of forcing women to accept males in their estates shouldn't we be forcing men to accept other men who may have different gender identities?

I don't think men have a problem accepting men with a variety of genders - there's plenty of men sticking up for transpeople on twitter and in local councils after all. It's that males with a variety of genders want to be in women's spaces.

This person is in a women's prison because they want it, it's nothing to do with the wants and needs of anyone else.

ntends to undergo gender reassignment treatment. ===== I wonder who will be footing the bill for that.

From the comments, it's actually a fairly common comment in these stories

Like that's the only bit of the story that they are concerned about.
