Appeared in my local newspaper today: www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/outage-after-trans-woman-sent-17571703

A support group for transgender people has hit out at a judge who sentenced a trans woman to a male only prison

It seems that The Beaumont society now fully promotes itself as a transgender organisation, rather than one for cross dressing men: www.beaumontsociety.org.uk

Yeah, cos a man who's broken into the homes of vulnerable and elderly people really should be put in a women's prison... ffs

CuriousaboutSamphire · 15/01/2020 16:51

Crikey! No words for any of that.

Not the pictures
Not the "living as"
Not wondering about a fully functioning penis
Nor comparing hurt feelings with physical

In fact, I am pretty calm. I have remembered that all of this never happens... and I am reassured!

Numbers of women criminals going up.

Wonder why??!!!

Hair is tied up. What’s the problem???!!

The sensible solution would be to have a separate transgender wing within the men’s prison.
That would have the additional advantage of putting an end to male criminals (particularly rapists) pretending to be trans in order to be transferred to a women’s prison with free access to more victims.
A transgender wing would protect them from assault by other male prisoners, but keep them out of female spaces. Win/win.

Almost all the comments on FB are GC or more to the point WTF

Have a look at the responses on twitter:

People in general really don't like being gaslighted. (Can't help wanting to type "gaslit".)

Well, Tamara has stubble so, although they may style their hair like a woman they are clearly still a man, therefore a man's prison is more suitable.

allmywhat · 15/01/2020 17:21

Wow, that photo is... something.

Seems like the press have discovered a useful formula for getting clicks: ridiculous/outrageous text that complies with TRA pronoun rules, combined with a truthful photo. It must make for good sharing material -not many news stories have punchlines.

"She" needs shave!

SirVixofVixHall · 15/01/2020 17:24

So the Beaumont has leapt onto the trans wagon, when it has been a well known organisation for cross dressers/ autogynaephiles for decades. I wonder why ? Could it be because those men who used to call themselves transvestites, have seen that the word transgender gives them magical immunity from criticism and access all areas ?

Newyeardietstartstomorrow · 15/01/2020 17:24

"She" needs shave! stoopid thumbs! "She" needs a shave!

donquixotedelamancha · 15/01/2020 17:28

Kudos to the Liverpool Echo:

Just report exactly what they say, using the words they use, along with relevant facts and a big photo. Perfect.

I'm sure the article will be accused of transphobia but it'll be hard d to say how because it's played with such a straight bat.

Mockers2020Vision · 15/01/2020 17:29

The Home Office guidance does indeed mention "biological sex assigned to them at birth". (1.3)

Wonder how long before they can appeal though....

Yy @babdoc

OldCrone · 15/01/2020 17:37

If the GRA is changed to self-ID, Tamara could get a GRC and go straight to a women's prison. (Paragraph 4.64 in the document in Mockers post)

Transgender women with GRCs must be placed in the women’s estate/AP unless there are exceptional circumstances, as would be the case for biological women.

MedusasButterDish · 15/01/2020 17:56

OMG, the comments under the Liverpool Echo article itself! TRAs need to look for transphobia thataway... 👀👀👀

rocketmen · 15/01/2020 18:05

"She" needs shave! She probably would if she had access to a razor, but she's being detained right now I'm assuming.

VinandVigour · 15/01/2020 18:08

Well I hope all those woke bro Liverpool council members are reading the comments!

testing987654321 · 15/01/2020 18:19

How can anyone earn their living writing that nonsense?

The word is "he" because "she" is quite clearly a man.

I grew up thinking the job of journalists in a free society was to make sure the truth was heard.

NonnyMouse1337 · 15/01/2020 18:29

I think it's a very good idea that pictures always accompany these news articles. It's a wonderful way to educate the public that TWAW.

Lordfrontpaw · 15/01/2020 18:31

A small group may be protesting this - but a much larger number of groups will be applauding.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 15/01/2020 18:36

Yes, I expect many regular visitors to this thread will be popping over shortly to complain about the hatred/bigotry appearing on that article.

Highonpotandused · 15/01/2020 18:41

OMG imagine being alone in a room with him.

He targeted the homes of vulnerable older people, let him see how it feels to be vulnerable now.
