Does anyone else read these stories numerous times thinking they must be missing something because it is SO FUCKING RIDICULOUS.
I read one, finish it, thank I must have skipped over the bit that made it make sense to the powers that be. Rinse, repeat and get angry.
^^ Yes. This. 100%.
This is the obvious lesson of the ‘it will never happen’ thread isn’t it.
Not only that inexcusable is done to women and women are expected to accept it - and repeatedly- but that anyone complaining about it is blamed for being nasty and then just fucking ignored anyway.

This story is just horrific, just like all the other ones on that thread.
Why do women and children have to be the innocent people deliberately placed into this slow-motion car crash, before someone somewhere finally will change the policy? (If they ever do- WTF will it take to change the policy?! Doesn’t seem like even murder is enough..)
Of course everyone who wants to call themselves something new or dress however they want should absolutely crack on with that. But something is literally categorically wrong when authorities feel they have no choice legally but to put MEN into a WOMEN’s prison (or where authorities want to do this to be woke and are permitted to ‘get ahead of the law’ on this - ie be illegal). Just absolutely NO.
It’s completely unacceptable there can be no ‘third space’ option that would be legally available to the authorities to use instead without fear (or purported fear
) of a complainant being able to sue them for mishousing them because of their gender feelings. Why the fuck are the authorities not equally scared of women sueing them into tomorrow for putting women at risk in this way?
This type of highly risky mess surely goes back to legal solutions which should be urgently reviewed by Parliaments in countries where these apply such as the gender recognition act. (In the UK).
