Keep Prisons Single Sex Wind Down

[KeepPrisonsSingleSex]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks again for all your past support and continued words of encouragement. It really means a lot to me and the rest of the KPSS team.

We will cease operating on 30th June. Which leaves the rest of the month to get as much work done as possible. We will also be asking you to take action, not just now but on an ongoing basis.

Our reports based on our research remain as relevant today as they did when we first published them. We always take a safeguarding first position. This means that our work often raises important points that no other group does.
Our hope is that you will continue to use these to hold prospective MPs, the newly elected government & parliamentarians, the police and other organisations to account.

We will be tweeting this out over the next couple of weeks, and I will be posting here on Mumsnet too, beginning with our body of work on policing.

We are beginning with our Manifesto for Policing, which we jointly produced with We Are Fair Cop.

Policing is in thrall to gender identity ideology & no force has escaped capture.
We see this in data collection on victims & suspects of crime, communication with the public, forces' allegiance to social activist groups, arresting people for their lawfully expressed views, searching protocols.

Our Manifesto for Policing calls for a return to effective and fair policing:

• Policing with neutrality and without fear or favour
• Forces and officers display no allegiance to any one group
• Policing is devoid of political, cultural or social activism
• Policing decisions are based on evidence not ideology
• Services and practices are developed and managed in order to best meet the operational needs of policing and the criminal justice system

The Manifesto is available on our website. Use it when talking to those who want your vote.

We have posted details for every police force nationally on Twitter. You can search using #ManifestoForPolicing.

Late to the party here but MANY THANKS to Kate and the KPSS Team for everything you have done.

My thanks to Kate personally for her support with issues to do with Prisons and with organising Prison Protests.

Reading about the way KPSS, and Kate in particular, has been treated by some unnamed individuals and organisations is upsetting.

I know that Kate/KPSS is telling the truth about having influenced policy changes at Governmental level and it is shocking that she could have been spoken to so disrespectfully.

Kate is such an excellent, clear communicator and I very much hope that she will be called on and have more time for interviews in future.

I am not very keen on Andrew Gold as an interviewer but I can put up with him for the guests who he has on.

'Trans Women' Murderers Are INFILTRATING Women's Prisons - Dr. Kate Coleman
9 May 2024

I only came across this thread because I saw something on Twitter/X that I had a question about, was about to tag @/NoXYinXXprisons and then remembered I had seen something about KPSS shutting up shop. I wondered if Kate was on there using a different account so went to the @/NoXYinXXprisons to see if anything was mentioned. No - but I saw the link to this thread.

I know other GC organisations have done work on Prisons and have knowledge of how Government works but the thing is that they are organisations. In my experience, they do not usually respond to queries from random TERFs tagging them on Twitter/X and they are anyway generic organisations, not approachable individuals with the in-depth knowledge that Kate has.

Maybe I'll try tagging Kate on Mumsnet instead when I have got a query 🤷‍♀️

Many thanks again Kate for all your work and achievements xx

Also late to the party, but you have all been absolute stars.
I've followed your work for years and
I feel quite weepy to see you go.
Bless you and thank you all x

This is distressing, what happened?
I've been off twitter.

Bumping as sadly it seems KPSS won’t come back:

I want a 😢reaction option 😢

Thank you for all the hard work and sorry to learn of how some groups or people have behaved that’s unacceptable.
OP your points about the impossibility to change legal sex and that concept being a misnomer in context of state responses to adult gender identity issues (with a clue to support your point in the name GRA.,.it’s not to SRA) are really fascinating. I think I have started to understand but will read more.

Where does that leave us now with the April 2025 Supreme Court judgment on the Equality Act 2010 and what chances for any future campaign to repeal the GRA which seems to be so poorly understood it’s virtually impossible to implement without errors that disadvantage women in dangerous ways. It shouldn’t be able to hang about creating problems for decades like this.

OP your perspective and ability to express complex and nuanced concepts very clearly are very valuable and needed in this movement so I do hope you won’t be going too far away from it.

Echoing others to say thank you for your hard work KPSS. I hope you keep your website and Substack up for posterity and to showcase the amazing work that was done. I would happily donate to cover hosting costs.
