Surprised to see this out of Canada, I don't know much about their press/ publications though.

Oh I love the last line!

Maybe someone can direct Lisa Nandy to this piece? She's over keen on transitioning male rapists having access to women in prison if I recall rightly?

Yes, it was the fact that it’s from Canada that I found interesting. Rosie DiManno, the author, has written for the Toronto Star since 1975.

Blimey. The Star? Is that the Toronto Star?! It's not some obscure sheet. At all. It's the biggest national paper by circulation, I think. More than a hundred years old.

Can any Canadians confirm it's the same one?

Sorry, x post. It is! Woo.

Thanks wellbehaved that's good news!

She specialized in impersonating a paramedic, a ruse that allowed her to perform vaginal exams on witless and terribly naive young women.

Witless? Not very kind.

"Whoever would have thought that someone already convicted of a crime might not be entirely honest?"

Well, the head of the prisons service in the UK for one, but hey ho, he's probably just a nasty bigot.

Wow. Thank you, Rosie DiManno, sincerely.

Too little too late.

It's virtually impossible to repeal laws once they've been passed.
