50 activists are reportedly occupying the MoJ as a protest regarding trans women having their own prison wing created for them.

So you think the weans know why they are there and who the names on the banner are?

God we had ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ in my day. This lot would have ‘Jimmy Saville was misunderstood’ banners (if he was still alive).

I really don't get this. For a start sex exemptions are legally still allowed.
Women in prisons have disproportionately been victims of abuse and it is well documented they types of crimes transwomen are in prison for.
Do these people really think so little of women that they don't think they should be protected?
They are away from the men who may attack them for being trans.
If the suggestion is they will attack each other then that only gives more grounds to any arguement for keeping them away from women.
Everyone has rights no one is more special than anyone else.

I really think so.
Misogyny is nothing new, this time round it is simply dressed up slightly differently.

theOtherPamAyres I had forgotten about that video only an utter muppet gets in the way of a pipe band

Where do they expect male bodied prisoners to go? What about the Karen Whites of the prison community - where do they expect them to go? Or are they the loons who have demanded that all trans prisoners are free?

What a bunch of stupid wee girls (I can only see girls there). Idiots.

That pipe band video is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time.

I can only see men with beards and people with masks in the 3 banner photo.

I’m on my phone - the screen is teensy! Actual men - are you sure... are you misgendering them? Are you sure they aren’t lady beards?

When I think lady beard I don't think of faces.

So it looks like they asked permission, came into the foyer, had their picture taken and left.

Not what we called an occupation in my student days.

(Held the admin block for three days til they cut our rent.)

Twats.

Yes, that's what I think of Fekko

I hope there was supposed to be a comma in there 😁

Oh my fucking god. this is their protest? On IWD? this is their beef with MOJ when the rape conviction rate is so low, when the system victim blames women and subjects women victims of s.v. to the kind of character scrutiny we see in no other kinds of crime? when most female prisoners are survivors of d.v. and abuse???? THIS IS THEIR PROTEST ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY?????????????? fuck the fuck off.

Looks like the same group as blocked entrances to the Department of Health last year on IWD until the police arrived in sufficient numbers to move them on - that was also Action for Trans Health. I’m not sure if it’s them or another group currently JRing the NHS about gamete storage.

Did Sadiq sell off Boris’ water cannon?

Seriously?

It sounds like an episode of Citizen Smith.

They came to the Home Office first. Until we pointed out that we hadn't been responsible for prisons since 2005.

GLORIOUS

We bless. Did they get all upset and snivvely until you offered them a tissue and glass of milk then drew them a map to the MoJ?

It sounds like an episode of Citizen Smith.

Power to the people!

But only the male ones or trans women ones.

If this is their action for IWD, can't wait to see what they have planned for April 1st.
