In the Scottish Parliament today Joan McAlpine MSP asked the Scottish Justice Secretary whether Police Scotland and the Scottish Court Services record incidents according to the alleged perpetrator's birth sex of self-declaration.

The Justice Secretary confirmed that Police Scotland and the court and tribunal services do indeed record suspects according to their self-identified gender and that Police Scotland require no evidence of certification as proof of gender other than a person's self declaration.

Good for Joan. Not good for Police Scotland.
I'll put up a link to footage when I get one.

Six were convicted of rape, 37 of sexual activity with or involving a child, one of sexual grooming, 35 for internet child pornography offences and four for exposure and voyeurism.

Trans Crime UK lists 23 sex offences convictions in 2016.

transcrimeuk.com/2016-convictions/

11 of those are using a female name. We can pretty much assume that these will therefore have had their crimes recorded as female. It could be all 23 for all we know. And we also know that this website relies on press reporting so is far from complete.

Therefore, at the lowest reasonable estimate, 11 of 78 female sex offfences convictions achieved in 2016 were not crimes committed by women. That's 14%. The lowest reasonable estimate.

SNP equalities chief in row over trans rights comments

Poor old “Brian Dempsey” has shown up yet again in the btl comments to repeat the same old lie that anyone who questions ANY of the pillars of trans ideology “thinks that we are defined by our genitals.”

Honestly, you’d have to be thick as two short planks to believe that feminism is a movement aimed at reducing all women can be to their body parts. Which is why TRAs wanting to call women “menstruators” and “cervix-havers” is so, so telling.

Another article on the skewing of crime stats. It's a bit brief but at least it's getting the issue out there

I wish one of these articles would point out what the DM said about sexual crimes committed by "women" has actually massively increased over the past few years.

So little dot joining

Joan fights back. She really gets it

@JoanMcAlpine
It's not a good look to attempt to bully and shame another woman simply because she welcomed a discussion about the consequences of replacing biological sex with self-declared "gender identity"

It's simply hiding vawg stats, because the violators of the world cannot allow the deaths statistics to be shouted from the rooftops, if it's done under the guise of being 'woman' it equalises, falsely

boatyardblues · 17/03/2019 14:03

Atta girl Joan!

Smotheroffive · 17/03/2019 14:03

Me thinks there's some peaking going on

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 17/03/2019 14:21

Unroll of Joan's thread here:

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1107264937523625985.html

She really, really gets it. I initially I was a bit worried that perhaps she held a very narrow view that sex was important for things like the census, but not other things. But no, she really gets it, and I am immensely grateful to her for using her platform to point these things out.

Smotheroffive · 17/03/2019 16:37

... Also worth repeating that @stonewalluk along with @ScottishTrans asked @WomenEqualities for an end to women's protections in the Equality Act ...

That's it in a nutshell, this is what Penny Mordaunt refuses to talk about, and what she's actively shut down actual women and their rights for, get her off ....boooo!

Give someone the money and role t do it properly, and what is Justine Roberts going to have a discussion about with her now then? Please talk to women that get it, that are not afraid to speak the truth and stop women being shut down

Tell @screenscots what you think of their female erasure. Womxn is an insult. We should be able to define ourselves on our own terms. #WarOnWomen

Joan’s had enough now hasn’t she? WTF are the rest of the female MP’s?

She has! She's being accused of not representing all of the citizens by someone and Mhairi Hunter has also joined in but Joan's standing firm Star
