"Inmates who pretended to be transitioning saw it as a way to lower their risk and to try to secure a place in the female prison estate, according to the evidence unearthed by Inside Time, the prisoners’ newspaper."

Who could possibly have thought that this would ever happen?

I found this quote chilling:

Most denied that being transgender increased their risk of committing sexual offences, although one participant said that jealousy of a female partner’s femininity was a factor in motivating their sexual offence.

Define "faking".

This.

No man is a woman. They're all faking it.

It's nonsensical enough that men are arguing amongst themselves about which one of the reasons they're pretending to be women, should be taken seriously.

It's absolutely risible that the authorities go along with it.

Why is a fetish any less deserving than homophobia, or a fear of other men? The women are merely a resource for all these men.

And anyone trying earnestly to decide which man gets to utilise them, agrees.

AlisonDonut · 11/07/2023 06:23

So some men might be faking it?

How would we ever know which ones are faking it and which ones aren't?

Well usually any type of criminal is deemed to be faking it. I'm.surprised anyone bothered to try and " train" the MOJ and the prison service and the police etc because whilst its acceptance without exception for us, or we are bigots. The second a trans person does anything wrong they get kicked out the trans category and are fakers. Because trans people allegedly are not like the rest of the population and dont have criminals and bad people walking amongst them.

Didn't Professor Stephen Whittle say that they went for the prisons first because nobody cared about women in jail and if they could change minds there, they could change it anywhere?

JacquelinePot · 11/07/2023 06:56

So rather than pretending to be women, men are pretending to be pretending to be women?

Whatwouldscullydo · 11/07/2023 06:57

Yet more contradictions then...another huge surprise

OH MY GOD

I am obviously completely shocked by this and cannot believe it is true. I look forward to Marbles et al coming along soon to tell us how we’re wrong again.

Having read the both The Telegraph and the Inside Time articles it’s clear that the prisoners interviewed see the ‘fakers’ (as they are called in the study) as threatening their own status as ‘true’ transgender people and the competent ion that creates. In fact it explicitly says they resent them. And yet the study itself was designed to listen to male prisoners, who offended as men and then after conviction were transitioning. So they want us to believe that they are genuine women, but those others are not. Even though they’re all following the same script. Right down to ‘gender dysphoria made me do it.’ Funny that.

All this shows is that, on this issue, sex offenders are a lot smarter and a lot more rational than the Stonewalled managers running the system

StopStartStop · 11/07/2023 07:39

No, no, that would never happen.

hollyblueivy · 11/07/2023 07:40

Just saw the headline and came here to post but see you're already on it and everyone has made the comments I was thinking too.

Of course, of course this was going to happen.

Furious and enraged please make it stop.

Trans is by definition fake because no man can become a woman.

Nail.

Head.

Is nothing real anymore ?

I Wonder what Merlin has to say about this?

And also that many convicted criminals turn out to be manipulative liars. Why is anyone surprised at this?

Kevinscousin · 11/07/2023 07:57

Shurely shum mistake, there, hen ?🤣

Ofcourseshecan · 11/07/2023 08:00

Like everyone else, I’m shocked, shocked to hear that male sex fetishists who despise and are obsessed by women would actually tell lies to access vulnerable women ….

But I’m very glad that someone did this research and published it. The more sunlight, the better.

StephanieSuperpowers · 11/07/2023 08:01

Well, who could ever have predicted such an eventuality? Only someone truly bigoted and evil could ever have imagined exactly this scenario.

mrshoho · 11/07/2023 08:05

Omg what shocking news. Who would ever have predicted men would do such a devious thang. Whatever is to be done now to sort this Holy mess. Any suggestions from Stonewall?

Well, quite. The entire premise of the article is off in its assumption that some men who say they are women must be genuine.

EdithStourton · 11/07/2023 08:14

NO!
REALLY?

Who could have seen that coming....?

It was James Morton of the Scottish Trans Alliance who suggested going for prisons first.

We strategized that by working intensively with the Scottish Prison Service to support them to include trans women as women on a self-declaration basis within very challenging circumstances, we would be able to ensure that all other public services should be able to do likewise.

What does the Scottish Prison Service really think about the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill - Murray Blackburn Mackenzie

On 22 December 2022 the Scottish Parliament passed the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill. The Bill amends the Gender Recognition Act 2004 for Scotland, allowing any person aged 16 years or over to change their legal sex based on a statutory sel...

Show quote history

Some men who say they are women may genuinely believe they are. The others don't, so they are liars. The ones who genuinely believe they are women are suffering from a delusion. So they're trying to separate genuinely deluded people from those who are just lying. I doubt many of those men fall into the first category.
