'Breaking' - Transgender rapist won’t be imprisoned in Scotland’s all-women jail, Nicola Sturgeon tells MSPs

[zaramysaviour]

Excellent news.

And Sturgeon has really shot herself in the foot here (again). Because if she really thinks 'trans women are women', why is she not allowing this 'woman' to go to a female prison?

So therefore she knows this person is not a woman.

So therefore she is being transphobic...

Oh my...

She best get her armour ready - the mob will be out with their prick axes

The backlash must have been profound for NS to come out with this because up until now TWAW and Westminster nasty

she said rapists shouldn't be held in a women's prison.
What I think she meant to say is that men shouldn't be held in a women's prison.

Hope the TRAs rip her to pieces. For shame putting women through this. The victims had to call that bastard she. Women in the prison had to go through the ordeal of him being in his proximity.

(Getting the popcorn out)
How do you explain this to the Greens Nicola?

Won’t somebody think of Maggie Chapman?!?!? This is going to be so traumatic for her.

House of cards, hopefully about to come tumbling down.
Who would have thought Nicola was an evil TERF?

'Because if she really thinks 'trans women are women', why is she not allowing this 'woman' to go to a female prison?'

Well, precisely. What an utter disgrace Sturgeon is

Great and now is the time to keep the pressure on Sturgeon. Either she really believes in gender self ID or she doesn't. If she does (and she has said for a long time that she does), then this rapist belongs in a women's prison. If trans women are women ( again Sturgeon has said for along time she really believes this), then this rapist belongs in a women's prison. Politicians can't have it both ways and can't pick and choose who they believe. People either are who they say they are or they're not. Which is it, Nicola?

So why did she and s majority of others vote for exactly that??

I woke up today absolutely FURIOUS on checking the news.

Now I am feeling a sense of sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

It's very late here, but I'm staying up to make popcorn.

Did she say they won't be held in a womans prison or they won't be held in cornton vale ?
As im concerned about wording , corton vale is due to close in the next month or so and all female prisoners moved to other prisons , so is this rapist being moved with the female prisoners or being moved to barlinnie ?

This convicted rapist is currently on remand at Cornton Vale though. He needs to be re housed immediately. Ugh.

Where are they being transferred to?

This rapist started transitioning while awaiting trial. I wonder why?

According to NS and all the GRR supporters, no man would transition for any but the purest reasons, driven by a deep emotional need, and, the new GRR won't have any impact on any one else, but will only be a bit of admin allowing the most vulnerable members of socieyy to live and die in dignity, as their true selves.

she said rapists shouldn't be held in a women's prison

I suspect that's how she'll try and save face, by saying it's the 'rapist' element that excludes this individual from a woman's prison and it not the 'transwomen' element.

But still, it will be entertaining to watch if the TRAs turn on her. The Graun will just be glad they've got a new target after yesterday's "YOU WROTE LGB, WHY DID YOU LEAVE OUT THE TQ+???!!!" howlings.

<sets out deckchairs> Have a seat. Popcorn, anyone?

Yesterday, they had a bad policy.

Today, they have a bad policy that gets reversed if – and only if – people kick up enough of a stink about it, but that reversal drives a coach and horses through the justification for the bad policy that they were pretending to believe.

But... under the bill that the SNP passed, this person could get themselves a GRC and then would be automatically placed in a women's prison as they would then be regarded as a legal "woman", to be treated in all ways as a woman. Or is that not the case? So why the need to assure the public that this person won't and wouldn't have ever been housed in a women's prison?

...and it is wrong to conflate the GRR bill with this case, apparently. Two entirely unconnected issues.

There is a lot of waffle about each prisoner being risk assessed which is nothing to do with gender ID.

What I think she meant to say is that men shouldn't be held in a women's prison.

What I think she meant to say is that special men should be held in a women's prison unless it was politically convenient for her government for some of them not to be.

This has to be the beginning of the end, surely?

‘Trans people are who they say they are…except that one’. Make it make sense.
