There’s more woman in prison for sexual offences than transwoman, so I’m asking what risk assessment you have carried out to say they are more risk to woman

You may want to read the Prison campaign section of this web site for the facts:

JackyHolyoake · 13/07/2019 12:24

That's what I do too, read both sides.

I'm delighted to hear that, Roses. You'll enjoy being informed by reading that analysis about gender dysphoria, I am sure.

Eaudear · 13/07/2019 12:24

RosesAndRaindrops

Are you honestly saying that a male wouldn't pretend to be transgender in order to gain access to vulnerable people?

Do you know anything at all about the lengths people will go to in order to carry out their crimes?

Datun · 13/07/2019 12:25

That's what I do too, read both sides. Always have

You don't read anything, that's the problem. You thought what Michael Bailey and Ray Blanchard had written was an opinion piece, because you didn't read it. You don't know about the statistics of the Tavistock. You don't know about the prison statistics.

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 12:25

Rose please do your own homework. You're desperately uninformed, and are desperate for people to waste their time googling for you
Why won't you ever back up what you claim? You just expect people to blindly swallow what you tell them in an "OMG you're right, it's terrible" way.

PetrolBastard · 13/07/2019 12:26

There's absolutely no need to get snippy

Datun · 13/07/2019 12:26

Haha! I don't expect you to swallow anything that I say! I expect you to demand I furnish you with more details.

You just need to read the newspaper once in awhile.

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 12:27

You'll enjoy being informed by reading that analysis about gender dysphoria, I am sure
I'll enjoy reading it in full in a bit, haven't read it in depth yet but look forward to being "more informed" I like learning new information.
Haven't read it in depth yet as pesky RL keeps getting in the way and all that

JackyHolyoake · 13/07/2019 12:28

Why won't you ever back up what you claim? You just expect people to blindly swallow what you tell them in an "OMG you're right, it's terrible" way.

I think you'll find, Roses, that I have provided relevant sources to support each of my assertions.

Perhaps you should consider reciprocating that expression of goodwill toward you by taking the time to read and study them?

Datun · 13/07/2019 12:29

I tell you what, Rose, copy and paste this

1 in 50 prisoners say they are transgender

sackrifice · 13/07/2019 12:29

Do you have a source or are we just supposed to blindly accept what you're saying and panic?

So you think if this is true we should panic?

And why would that be?

Datun · 13/07/2019 12:30

Anyway, enough of the derail.

I still would like to know at what point the male risk profile changes, due to a diagnosis of gender dysphoria?

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 12:30

Haha! I don't expect you to swallow anything that I say!
So why do you come out with stuff like "they're all bandwagon jumpers"
"thousands are doing this"
"all these people at school are doing this"
Then when somebody legit asks a question in a hang on way, instead of blindly going along with you you get all snotty and rude to them?

PurpleCrowbar · 13/07/2019 12:31

OK, sorry but you're doing it again, just throwing out numbers with nothing backing up your claims.

Roses - is this really how you want to argue?

Well informed poster states a well attested fact, evidence for which is undisputed & in the public domain. You assert that they're baselessly 'throwing out numbers'. PP does the work for you, & finds the evidence. Rinse & repeat. It's such a waste of everyone's time.

Honestly, I don't think everything you're saying is without merit, & I certainly get the impression that you actually 'give a shit'.

But you are seriously under informed. Please do some proper reading!

sackrifice · 13/07/2019 12:31

You just expect people to blindly swallow what you tell them in an "OMG you're right, it's terrible" way.

If there's one thing I know about Jacky Holyoake, she always cites her sources.

It's right there in her responses.

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 12:32

I tell you what, Rose, copy and paste this 1 in 50 prisoners say they are transgender
WTF lol, again that's just you and your words, nothing backing it up yet again.
I could google you're right. Maybe it's just me but if I'm stating statistics as facts I've always been taught you should cite their origins/source.

Datun · 13/07/2019 12:33

Then when somebody legit asks a question

It's not a legit question, it's your MO. I've watched you do it for several years. It's tedious in the extreme.

And I'm pretty certain you wouldn't do it if you knew what impression it gave.

OldCrone · 13/07/2019 12:33

There’s more woman in prison for sexual offences than transwoman

How many transwomen are there in the general population compared to women?

There are about 60 transwomen in prison out of a UK population of the order of 330,000. There are a couple of hundred women in prison for sexual offences out of a UK population of around 30 million. Given the way the stats are compiled, it's possible that some of the women are actually transwomen. So who is more likely to commit sexual offences - women or transwomen?

Links on this thread - that you were on Earlywalker. You seem to have a short memory.

That's good then, I'm glad she does. So it's not just me then, it is actually normal to cite sources instead of refusing to when someone asks and getting snippy instead.

Datun · 13/07/2019 12:35

Anyway, Rose, of the sources that have been cited. What do you think of the 76 children in Brighton coming out? Or the 10 girls in the same class?

What do you think of the 1 in 50 men identifying as trans or 1 in 10 traveller men identifying as trans?

OldCrone · 13/07/2019 12:35

Why won't you ever back up what you claim?

I've given you sources, roses, as have other posters. Have you actually read any of them?

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 12:35

And I'm pretty certain you wouldn't do it if you knew what impression it gave
I'm fairly sure you wouldn't do what you do either if you knew how you come across and turn people away.

RosesAndRaindrops · 13/07/2019 12:36

I've given you sources, roses, as have other posters. Have you actually read any of them?
You have, yes, I'm in the process of reading them all. I wasn't referring to you in my post, I was referring to Datun.

Datun · 13/07/2019 12:38

I'm fairly sure you wouldn't do what you do either if you knew how you come across and turn people away

If only

This is the question that I and so many others have asked, so many times, on so many threads that I have literally never seen an answer to.
