It came out in the live tweeting - I think it was the defence barrister - that there are other law suits against the prison service on this issue, from both trans women prisoners and female prisoners.

It's also worth pointing out that this case wasn't crowd funded. I think she had legal aid. That's why it felt like it came out of nowhere when it came to court.

I will be on the Raw Report livestream tonight at about 7.30 talking about prisons and the judicial review:

@TheRabbitOfCaerbannog

No legal expert but I'm wondering if the UK govt could be in breach of international human rights law by placing male born rapists in the female estate? Apologies if this has already been discussed.
You are right that it is a possible breach.

There was discussion in the case of several articles of human rights law as incorporated into English law by the Human Rights Act 1998 (3, 8 and 14 from memory).

The links between the gender critical movement and the most extreme elements of the far right seem to grow stronger every day.

Makes a refreshing change from delving into terrorism, revenge porn, destruction of the tourist industry, and the ruination of trans Atlantic trade deals, tho.

Thanks Chaz. Having a read about the Human Rights Act now

Interesting that you're happy to appear on a website that promotes holocaust denial and vile anti-semitism.

I hope you've got evidence for that accusation @jj1968.

TheRabbitOfCaerbannog · 05/03/2021 15:07

Did you join the thread to discuss male born rapists in women's prisons jj? Or to shout squirrel?

Scottish Justice Minister unhappy British Government housing vulnerable female refugees with men but quite happy to put male prisoners into female prisons beside vulnerable female prisoners. Quite mind-blowing!

sofakingg00d · 05/03/2021 15:13

It seems some posters know that this is indefensible so they come on with a bit of whataboutery to derail.

Who's Jennifer Bilek? I've been Gender critical since before god was a boy and I've never heard of her. Did I miss the group directive issued by my right-wing controllers?

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 05/03/2021 15:18

jj You asked me earlier for evidence that Paris Green, a trans woman who was convicted of a particularly nasty torture and murder of a vulnerable man, had sexually assaulted women who were housed with Paris in the female estate.

I gave you a link to a article in the Telegraph, but, you didn't comment on it. Would you have time to do so now?

Me too, shed, I really must look at my emails more often. All my GC correspondence goes to [email protected] and I always seems to forget to check that one.

No clue who Jennifer Bilek is, or quite why I am a rabid right winger because I don't recognize the penis as a female organ. Weird.

Of course. Here's a screenshot of an anti-semitic holocaust denier being promoted at the start of the last Raw report, some examples of what he believes and another as an example of some of the content hosted by Brand New Tube.

Do you think intact males with a history of sex offending should be housed in the female prison estate?
That is what this thread is about.

So basically, the MOJ is insisting that the Equality Act doesn’t apply to women if they are incarcerated (but does to men who identify as women).

So by that logic.... Failure to pay the TV licence gives women the choice of either paying a £1000 fine or losing their rights to protection under the Equality Act?

How can that be legal?

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria

*jj* You asked me earlier for evidence that Paris Green, a trans woman who was convicted of a particularly nasty torture and murder of a vulnerable man, had sexually assaulted women who were housed with Paris in the female estate.

I gave you a link to a article in the Telegraph, but, you didn't comment on it. Would you have time to do so now?

I couldn't actually read it as it was paywalled, but if it was based on unnamed prison sources, much like the lies about Huntley, then I'm afraid I take it with a pinch of salt. None of the other sources which covered the story claimed there was any evidence of sexual assault, the prison service has not confirmed this and Green didn't appear to be charged or convicted for these assaults. As such I find it pretty surprising an organisation which seeks to be seen as credible and represents prisoners would make such certain claims based on a rumour in the right wing press.
JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 05/03/2021 15:30

Ah yes, the airtight response to the issue of convicted sex offenders being automatically locked in cells with women: 'Yes, but what about what some other random person on the Internet thinks about David Icke?'
Guess that's our argument shut down, ladies.

I don't think it's unreasonable to point out that a podcast someone is advertising on this site is hosted on a far right website.
KeepPrisonsSingleSex · 05/03/2021 15:31

I am pleased that the question of the 'far right' has come up, so thank you to the poster who raised it.

Whenever I made the decision to make use of a platform, be interviewed by someone, or otherwise involve someone in the work that I do, I apply the following test:

Can I look a female prisoner who is currently being held alongside a TW in the eyes and tell her that I decided not to do something because (insert reasons here)?

Yes, there are some things that would meet that test, meaning that I could look her in the eyes with a clear conscience and tell her that I decided not to do something, which on the face of it could bring valuable publicity. Being interviewed by Sonia Poulton does not meet that test. Neither does being interviewed by Glinner.

If someone else's threshold would be different, I respect that. Please respect where I have set mine.

jj1968 · 05/03/2021 15:33

Could you look a Jewish prisoner in the eyes and tell her what you decided to do was appear on a podcast which has previously and unapologetically promoted a holocaust denier?
