No Freedom of Speech for Women in Prison

[KeepPrisonsSingleSex]

My piece published today in Lesbian and Gay News:

lesbianandgaynews.com/2021/10/if-we-dont-we-get-a-punishment-no-freedom-of-speech-for-women-in-prison-says-dr-kate-coleman-director-of-keep-prisons-single-sex/

Our work was previously picked up by Inside Time here:

insidetime.org/women-face-punishment-for-using-wrong-pronouns/

And then covered in the Telegraph (which I think has its own thread, so I won't repeat it here).

Seems to me that women prisoners are being forced to lie, when they have to pretend that a man is a woman else they get punished, which is against the Human Rights Act.

That's a very good article and I've seen it shared several times today. Its getting harder for people to argue this is A Good Thing.

Excellent article and I agree on the pronouns and word choices. I will not participate in the coercion of others by using preferred pronouns.
