Can I just understand the position being adopted by contributors here?
Is it being suggested that because of the especially challenging issues arising from the need to appropriately house less than 100 trans-identifying prisoners, I and the 12,000 to 20,000 trans women (still only 1 in 3,000 or less) living in and contributing to society should be prevented from using the female lavatories at my place of work or in Sainsbury’s?
What is been expressed is the horror that Lisa Nandy MP & prospective Labour Leader advocates that a male child rapist who identifies as a woman be placed in female prison estate & the crimes be recorded as being committed by female sex.
Male child rapists who identify as women & who are convicted of their crimes will of course be released from prison at some point & may well use female toilets whether they might be in Sainsburys, Tescos, Waitrose or Fortnum & Masons will no doubt depend on a number of factors.
Should violent males /rapists be free to use female toilets?
Should male perpetrators of violence against women & children use women's changing rooms, be placed on female single sex hospital wards or be allowed access to specialist single sex hostels for female victims of domestic and sexual violence?

'When he was a man called Mark he was locked up after threatening to kill the mother of his child... today she's a woman called Melissa and able to roam free at a shelter for female domestic violence victims'
"In one shocking case, The Mail on Sunday discovered that a transgender ex-prisoner and convicted domestic abuser, who made chilling death threats to the mother of his child, has been allowed to come and go from a female-only refuge after he changed his name to Melissa.
Mark Addis, 44, was deemed such a threat to his former partner that he spent six months on remand in a male prison in 2014 after sending threats that he would kill her. One of his terrifying messages contained a picture of a dead body in a shroud.
A whistleblower has told the MoS that despite knowing about Addis's convictions, bosses at homeless charity St Mungo's still allowed her to make 'almost daily' visits to a women-only hostel." (continues)
