Referred to as 'she' throughout the article. Acceptance without exception, though

Or this guy, who up until last year was in the female prison estate -

This is why it's so bizarre seeing posters claim that 'of course a violent male offender wouldn't be transferred to the female prison estate'....

....they were already in there.

Working in prisons is a thankless task - I'd like to thank them now for keeping us safe from Scott (and others) at considerable risk to themselves. Keeping him safe - whether from himself or others we don't know - was likely impossible.

Hear hear.

Trans Scots killer now identifying as infant

Wtf is this madness?

Was he killed?
He sounded a menace to everyone.

( It was difficult to read the article because it kept jumping with ads.)

@AuContraire And why is the BBC article opening with "A violent transgender prisoner" rather than "a woman" like they did with Scarlet Blake, who is also a dangerous, violent man.

It is indeed a mystery - I can't see how they can justify the difference. Really, though, never mind "transgender prisoner", they should just go with "man".

I wonder if any academic studies have been done on whether levels of dark triad personality traits are higher in those claiming to be transgender than the rest of the population, particularly mtf (as I believe ftm is a different psychological mechanism altogether, lots of autistic girls, a response to the extreme misogyny & pornography of our society etc).

Narcissism and psychopathy seem to feature highly in many cases, and machiavellainism is almost a text book definition of how so many of these men manipulate the system and people for their own ends.

They have and they do, Nigella. Can't link rn but there is research into exactly this

It makes no sense. But I think the probable explanation is that Scarlet Blake was referred to as a woman in court, and therefore the BBC and other outlets followed suit.

Once a man has been put in a men's prison, then perhaps even the BBC thinks it's ridiculous to maintain the fiction that he's a woman.

But who knows, really?

It's useful to have the " who identifies as a transgender woman" me tinned too though, we wouldn't want to lose the opportunity to track the disproportionately high number of men who claim to he women who are also extremely dangerous/predatory.

Just saying "man" wouldn't allow that.

I’m rethinking my previous speculation re: potential officer restraint incident.

This 2018 article has Scott swallowing a pen and perforating his bowel in some sort of compo scam - if he tried something similar in 2024 he’d likely be waiting for an ambulance so long as to seriously impede his chances of recovery, so I’m now thinking it may well have been self harm, but not with suicidal intent?

Good to see Peen News are still sticking by their self ID principles though!

Very true.

Paris Green is a vicious murderer who used to ,for years,have to be moved to the male estate for having sex with inmates. I assume the subtext is that those inmates were raped but chose not to pursue charges.

I would argue that all "sex" in prison should be presumed to be rape. The ability of a prisoner to say "no" and have that respected is basically zero because they have no ability to lock the rapist out of where they sleep and shower and no ability to flee, move house, or any of the other "nasty people avoidance" measures that we on the outside take for granted.

Usually both copies are kept. They are on archive.org, unless they paint an even-remotely unflattering view of trans people, in which case the SJW site owner nukes them.

Good news. One less horror in the world.

Quite possibly! TS was admitted to hospital several times in recent years for swallowing various objects! I’m just relieved I will never have to encounter this vile specimen who caused so much trouble in the hospital I work in!

A Police Scotland spokesperson said that at around 10.50pm on Wednesday, the force was made aware of a 32-year-old taking unwell at HMP Grampian.

So not a fight or ambush.

I read reports of a 32 yo woman dying.

I wondered who they were talking about and why a woman was in a male prison. Then the penny dropped ...

The court was told that at the time, prison staff were complying with her requests that she should be known within the jail as Mr Mighty Almighty.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

If you've got a guy that dangerous and difficult and you have to spend your shift keeping him and everyone else from GBH, and he's only one of the complex violent men you've got responsibility for, then you probably are willing to call him anything he wants to be called to prevent any preventable kick off. And avoid everyone else having to stay locked in their cells for hours while you and a team in riot gear try to get him calmed down. There's another male with a TQ+ identity in prison who currently identifies as a little girl and requires to be led around by the hand by prison guards to keep him happy.

It's a narcissists charter, isn't it?

They're all Verucca Salt. Or that character played by wee Bonnie Langford.
"I'll thkweem and thkweem until I'm thick".

Violet Elizabeth Bott...just looked her up.

Good comments, Frood I was just thinking about how much the absence of this inmate must’ve improved the quality of working life for those who have had to keep him restrained or treat his self inflicted injuries for the last decade +

All premature deaths are regretful, and all death in custody should be avoided wherever possible (eg i don’t generally see the value in keeping doddery old prisoners locked up through end of life care, especially if they clearly cannot reoffend, eg drug smugglers or armed robbers) but that doesn’t mean that a great deal of relief won’t be felt amongst a profession that is already overworked and underpaid, especially considering the danger to their own personal wellbeing the job entails.

Most recent article say death is as yet ‘unexplained’, in recent years unexplained deaths of young males often turn out to be caused by fentanyl.
Drugs are not as unattainable in prison as one would hope…

Best wishes to you and all your very relieved colleagues!

Thirty-two is no age to die, but I wonder what prospects there were for him. He couldn't ever have been released because he was so incredibly dangerous. Was he going to end up like Robert Maudsley, who has been kept in solitary confinement in a purpose-built cell for over 40 years?
