Thank you for the new thread

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes, thanks.

I'm hearing Maya loud and clear - I think she's turning to the judge to answer, which is so much better.

What is JR playing at?

Thank you. Come on Maya 🙏🏻

How does JR pronounce Maya: May-errr ?

Thank you for the new thread

Thanks Naut.

JR she's not saying in this report the statistical ? of transwomen in criminal statistics

Maya what's she asking for is clear statistics based on sex.

This can't be a good line of questioning surely??

This is where clear data is necessary. It benefits cases like this to leave TW out of crime data.

You can tell Maya has been here before.

shooting herself in the foot, it would seem

God the sound!!!

JR is not helping her side here

God, this is painful

JR floundering a bit, caught out not having read the Jo P report properly?

I hope Maya mentions the percentage in prisons that are violent/sex offenders in the TW cohort.

JR moving onto paragraph 34 the research 'the Swedish study'

This is excruciating - more cringy and less rage inducing than yesterday at least

JR 324 people in the study 1973 to 2003

I get the impression that she is deliberately cherry picking lines and trying to get the witness to agree to them. She's playing with words because she's got nothing else.

JR high prevelence of offending for trans people

Maya no that's not correct

JR certainly hasn't done her homework

Ok who peaked JR, there's no other excuse than trying to sabotage the case

I love MF so much

With her track record I have suggested she's a secret terf.
