that trans people should be housed on a case by case basis and that dangerous sexual or violent offenders should not be housed in the women's estate?
No, transwomen should be in the male estate. Female prisoners deserve to be housed only with females.
Karen White was a mistake, a big mistake, but a mistake all the same and the MOJ have acknowledged that.
Karen White was not a mistake it was deliberate, the MOJ have not acknowledged it as a mistake and are wriggling like a fish on a line in respect of the court case being brought against them.
I agree that some trans women should not be housed in the female estate, or should even be segregated, but is housing some nervy fully transitioned trans woman banged upp for benefit fraud or something really such a threat when let's not forget women''s prisons contain a lot of women convicted of murder and very serious both violent and sexual offences?
Segregate them in the male prison estate. Do you really think it is acceptable that a prisoner in Ireland, who has self declared as a women and is incarcerated in a female prison, has to have two guards with them at all times in order to prevent them violently sexually assaulting female prisoners? Do you think it is either right or fair for the female prisoners to have that added level of fear and intimidation?
What about the dignity and privacy of female prisoners, prison strips most of it away but what little there is left, that female prisoners are housed with their own sex should be upheld. Have a read of what female prisoners say about being housed with transwomen, why do their feelings, their discomfort, their fears not matter to you? Also note that those prisoners had to do it anonymously and are afraid to voice their concerns within the system, how much worse do you want to make their stay in prison? Is being deprived of their liberty not enough for you that you also insist they are stripped of their right to be housed amongst those of their own sex?
