JKR on men in women's jails

Another banger from the Queen of Twitter after she posted about the recent report on men in women's jails in Scotland.

The trans activist outrage that ensues on here whenever I share my belief that jailed women shouldn't be used as validation tools or emotional support props for trans-identified male sex offenders is as revealing as it's predictable.

Such activists can't bring themselves to concede that a man who was convicted of harming women/girls ought not to be incarcerated with the demographic to whom he is a proven danger, because if they do, all their stock arguments ('no sexual predator would bother to pretend to be trans', 'no trans woman has ever harmed a woman in a women's only space', 'there is no danger in making all single sex spaces unisex') are exposed as the lies they are. If they admit that even a single man isn't a woman because he says he is, the entire edifice of gender identity ideology crumbles. This leaves activists who rely on bullying and slogans with nowhere to go but 'you hate all trans people', 'so you're saying all trans people are rapists' and, of course, 'you are causing a trans genocide.'

I think this particular issue also causes conniptions because it threatens the activists' self image. These are people who preen themselves on their kindness and virtue, so acknowledging the truth - that they're indifferent to vulnerable women being assaulted or traumatised - threatens the idea they have of themselves. They therefore double down. The prisoners complaining aren't really afraid of rape or voyeurism or violence at all, they say. They're 'not exactly delicate flowers', as one self-identified empath put it.

If you support putting violent and sexually predatory men into women's prisons, you are knowingly forcing those women to live in fear of, and, in some proven cases, to suffer abuse that many of them will have endured pre-incarceration. You are not kind. You are not righteous. Women have the basic human right not to suffer cruel and unusual punishment. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

Thank you, JKR 💐

'Self-identified empath', I say👏

StarlightLime · 20/02/2024 19:28

She's amazing.

cerisepanther73 · 20/02/2024 19:31

That's a good remark "self identified empath "

turbonerd · 20/02/2024 19:38

She is Queen

We are so so lucky to have such a prominent, intelligent woman on ‘our side’, who is known all over the world, and is not afraid of telling it how it is.
I think it has encouraged other women to speak out against this gender/trans madness.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 20/02/2024 20:14

Agreed @Speakingofdinosaurs At one time I feared that the tsunami of vitriol and threats aimed at her by transactivists was a real warning to others. But she's sailed supreme above all their grubby aggression and even expanded on her charity work and support for women, making friends and alliances as she goes.
They can't cancel her - the epitome of "And yet she persisted"

JKR is a hero, a real hero. She never stops standing up for us.

LargeSquareRock · 21/02/2024 02:33

That’s a masterclass. I see most of the usual suspects haven't even bothered to reply to her with their bile, because she has them all beat.

yesmen · 21/02/2024 02:51

Thank you jkr.

From the bottom of my heart.

Teamsaction · 21/02/2024 06:09

Amazing woman

Monyameikle · 21/02/2024 06:23

What world do these people live in where they believe that it is okay to put criminal men in women's prisons? It is unbelievably cruel.

GenericMNwoman · 21/02/2024 13:16

Trans women in prison with women is what started my alpine journey. While women shouldn’t have to, if I feel unsafe in a public toilet or changing room, I can leave. Women can’t leave prison if a trans woman is put in the cell with them.

women’s rights are human rights. Women are humans too.

Marylou62 · 21/02/2024 15:30

Thank you for standing up and speaking for women..
You are my hero 💓

Ineedamanicure · 21/02/2024 16:35

She is amazing!

I see India Willoughby is having a tantrum over on the thread. I don’t think India is very well.

BonnyBo · 21/02/2024 20:58

Have you noticed how many people are saying that no trans activist wants male sex offenders in women’s prisons? I wonder why they’re routinely placed in there then…

Understatement of the century!

Villagetoraiseachild · 21/02/2024 21:42

Trans identified. That's very clear language.
Thank you JKR.

She is our Navalny.

Crankywiddershins · 22/02/2024 00:02

I love the fact that every time they attack her she grows stronger and more defiant.
