littlbrowndog I should very much like a journalist to ask Dr Julia Long's three questions to every MP & MSP. Their constituents should know the answers:

Should male child rapists be housed in female or male estate prison?

Should male sex offenders who identify as women have their crimes be recorded as committed by women?

Should women be described as being in a 'hate group' if we ask questions like this [and be expelled from political parties or reprimanded at work]?

GirlsInGreen · 16/02/2020 21:42

Julia Long has just exposed Labour , she has asked the questions Marr should have asked RLB this morning. Once the red tops get hold of this - Nandy is finished - she just ended her career at that hustings.

This will keep going & going. I felt gut punched when I read the 'pledge' but you know what? Best thing - sunlight sunlight sunlight!

NeurotrashWarrior · 16/02/2020 21:45

R0, I'd also ask; where should female offenders who identify as men be placed? Men's or women's prison?

And why?

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 16/02/2020 21:47

I'm going to be very blunt here. This decision, to put rapists in jail with women, isn't just stupid or wrong, it's evil. The people supporting this are actively choosing to put women at risk. They are advocating that women be quite literally locked up with those who have already demonstrated both desire and willingness to do women harm. Even if nothing actually happens other than the convicted rapists occupying that space, that's a terrifying situation to be put in. And frankly the odds of nothing happening don't look great, given the prison system's proven inability to prevent other types of assault or to prevent rape in men's prisons.

It's like dropping a great white shark in the kiddies paddling pool. Anyone advocating for this is a terrible person.

TheProdigalKittensReturn I agree. They will have blood on their hands. they are colluding with the rapists. But they just don't seem to see it. I hope they get charged with aiding a crime.

LizzieSiddal · 16/02/2020 21:49

I feel sick listening to her answer to that question.

@DuLANGMondeFOREVER

Will someone say that young women in secure psychiatric units for self harm prevention must share bedrooms with criminally insane men?

They don't need trans policies for that. It's been policy for a very long time. Locked wards, all manner of diagnoses, with male and female bedrooms open to a central shared space, and has been for decades. Apparently, if very overcrowded, they house people in opposite sex bedrooms, yes. And they do indeed house forensic (criminal) patients nearing the end of their time in prison hospitals alongside girls in hospital for depression. This is from the 1990s. This is from 2018. There was a news story a month or so ago about the rates of sexual assault and rape in mixed sex wards. Hair raising. And yet it's been known for decades.

Nobody cares. They're just women. Common sense indicates that we need psychiatric hospitals, like prisons, to be single sex. But women are expendable. As Nandy goes to some pains to make clear. Apparently, women aren't raped enough in this country. Nandy advocates policy that will make life so much easier for convicted mail rapists, when it comes to accessing highly vulnerable victims. After all, it's so important to be kind.

Women's prisons have mother and baby units. She wants child rapists in them. Mental health of the women? Anyone want to be kind to them? No? Who cares. They're females.

Saltovinegar · 16/02/2020 21:52

Lisa Nandy is either insane/thick as mince/hates other women to the extent she doesn't care if they are harmed/has large pockets for all the notes someone's stuffing in them.

StealthPolarBear · 16/02/2020 21:52

Why isn't this in the news?

R0wantrees · 16/02/2020 21:52

Thu 21-Mar-19 OP SpartacusAutisticusAHF shared news:

"Lesbians removed from Accenture inclusive trans event by 7 police
Julia Long and others have just been removed by 7 police officers from City of London for attending an event and making the speakers feel uncomfortable (or something, it's not exactly clear).

SEVEN police officers.

At the event, however, Ms Pradip told the women: “My panel does not feel comfortable with you here”.

A spokesperson for Accenture said: “Our request was based on security concerns expressed to us by participants at last night’s events. Although an unfortunate situation, we made a polite request that several individuals leave the gathering. Upon their refusal, we sought assistance.”

the thread is worth reading

morningtoncrescent62 · 16/02/2020 21:53

Thing is, she answered the question honestly. If you believe the literal truth of transwomen are women, then of course a convicted rapist can be housed in a women's prison if that individual's inner belief as self-declared by them is that they're a woman. Transwomen are women doesn't just apply to the gentle, confused, feminine man who's never felt at ease with masculine expectations. It applies to everyone. You can't say (and be loudly applauded for saying) transwomen are women, and then say "ah, but some male-bodied people are dangerous so we'll treat them differently". This needs bringing into the open, especially with the consultation on self-ID in Scotland under way.

The problem is with the ideology, and that's what people need to understand.

StealthPolarBear · 16/02/2020 21:53

Un fucking comfortable isnt ok
But rape is
The world has gone mad.

Yeah rowan.

We should be asking this of all the politicians who get paid to do their jobs and not just for 1 person in their constituency these questions

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 16/02/2020 22:00

Also, about this.

Nandy also said that transmen should be put in male prisons.

As far as I'm aware this isn't even something transmen have been asking for, so is the goal literally just to put as many female people at risk of harm as possible

tobee · 16/02/2020 22:01

Nandy is finished - she just ended her career at that hustings

You'd think so, wouldn't you? But I just don't trust the Labour membership right now. They live in some misogynistic parallel universe.

And yes it is evil TheProdigalKitten

auldcraw · 16/02/2020 22:02

Thanks for the video DuLang.

This is really scary and frankly makes me sick to the stomach to hear that these women are having to deal with the physical and emotional violence resulting from the decisions of criminally naive politicians.

Cwenthryth · 16/02/2020 22:03

It is probably good, in the long run, that this is happening, and everyone outside of feminist networks is seeing the conclusions of TWAW. Sunlight, as we say.

But it’s fucking terrible for the Labour Party, and bigger picture therefore fucking terrible for disadvantaged and vulnerable people of all types, of which the women in each are usually the worst hit, because it means a decade or more of Tory rule.

R0wantrees · 16/02/2020 22:04

Anne Ruzylo in the tweet above suggested Lisa Nandy MP use transcrimeuk.com/ for background to the child rapist Dr Julia Long was speaking of.

Anne Ruzylo is a former prison officer who was targetted by a group of trans rights activists (including Lily Madigan) & driven out of the Labour Party where she had been Woman's Officer.

December 2017 at WPUK Anne Ruzylo described how she had been treated by the Labour party & also raised concerns for vulnerable female prisoners forced to share space with males:

In a speech at Standing For Women Manchester Anne Ruzylo shared the concerns of prison officers & insight into how vulnerable women are being affected when forced to be locked in with male prisoners:

StealthPolarBear · 16/02/2020 22:08

I'm guessing there's no chance of nandy coming on for a Web chat? We might make her feel uncomfortable I suppose.

R0wantrees · 16/02/2020 22:09

As far as I'm aware this isn't even something transmen have been asking for, so is the goal literally just to put as many female people at risk of harm as possible

June 2018 Daily Mail article:
'As more trans women who were convicted as men hope to follow rapist Martin Ponting into female wings, prison governors fear vulnerable inmates could be attacked'

(extract)
"Prison reformer Frances Crook said that she was worried that ‘some men with a history of extreme violence and sexual violence against women have found a new way of exercising aggression towards women’.

Ms Crook, executive director of the Howard League for Penal Reform, added: ‘These men are not transitioning because they like women and want to be a woman, but in order to exert a new kind of control and dominance over women, a sort of infiltration.

‘Moreover, the process is inherently discriminatory. A woman identifying as a man could not be transferred to a man’s jail because placing a person with female attributes into a prison to live with 1,000 men, all using communal showers and living areas, would put them in serious danger.’ (continues)

It really hasn’t. The Labour Party has. The rest of the world is sat there thinking WTF?

As the late, great Magdalen Berns said: some people are so open minded, their brains have fallen out.
