Scotland's care watchdog says girls in care should share rooms with boys who self-ID as female

[IwantToRetire]

In the latest development of Scotland’s single-sex scandal, the Care Inspectorate says looked-after transgender children ‘should not be made to use the toilet or bedroom of their sex assigned at birth’.

The edict adds that trans youngsters should be able to ‘share a room with other young people who share their gender identity’.

Astonishingly, it also states there is ‘no law in Scotland’ that protects single-sex spaces.

Who is it that has been going round Scottish organisations, political parties, the charity sector, and telling them that under the law no single sex services are permitted. And why is anyone believing them when you can just look up and read the EA on the internet.

Or mabye Scotland lives in a parrallel universe governed by alternative view points and facts.

I expect some people's eyes are lighting up at the propsect of this cascading through social housing/room numbers too - savings to be had if brothers and sisters can be forced to share throughout childhood.

Pathetic!!
Half the boys at school would have "identified" as a girl if it meant they could share a room with me.

Girls in care were also the first targets of grooming gangs/paedophiles.

Why is it that most of the most committed and vituperative trans activists ( and anti Israel activists) are young/ women?

The edict adds that trans youngsters should be able to ‘share a room with other young people who share their gender identity’.

Surely that means that those with a transgender identity should share with others with the same transgender identity? So transboy shares with transboy, transgirl shares with transgirl. After all, they claim we all have a gender identity and that those of us who are not trans are cis.

Disclaimer: I haven't read the DM article as it's DM

There you go again....the other day you were suggesting that young men at university would drop all of their male friends just to be with you and your girl mates, and now you are suggesting that they'd identify as girls just to share with you.

As people all over the UK are learning to their cost - if you wait for the Guardian / BBC & other allegedly "left wing" press to report on safeguarding matters, you'll wait for ever. There are certain groups who are rarely criticised or exposed for safeguarding breaches, grooming, or putting others in danger. The Times, followed by the DM & the Telegraph are the ones who are prepared to stand up to the "sacred castes" who harm others - especially children.

It also includes the gem that “gendered facilities such as toilets are a social convention” and smugly says “there is no law in Scotland about this”

Wings Over Scotland has done some joining of dots regarding the influences on this new policy:

Do you know any teenage boys/young men? I'd say a fair proportion would play the system without any encouragement.

I'm surprised you seem to have a vendetta against me. I can't help being gorgeous.
But seriously at school and college there were hundreds of girls and young women whom boys and young men were desperate to befriend. I feel sorry for you if you were one of the few who WEREN'T being hit on constantly.

All young people in care are vulnerable by virtue of the fact that they are there because things have gone very wrong in their short lives. They have most likely been abused and/or neglected, are distressed, disturbed, volatile, etc. Putting males and females in the same rooms together is a very bad idea.

I worked with kids in care and there were a lot of shared rooms.

I do wonder if the people in the Care Inspectorate who wrote this insane 'guidance' have actually ever met any teenage boys.

I don't understand how so many people seem to believe that no predatory males, whether they be teenage boys or grown men, would take advantage of rules which say that they can enter female-only spaces if they simply utter the magic words 'I identify as a girl/woman'.

When it comes to the likes of Whittle and Morton, part of the reason they are so successful is precisely because they’re female.

They are no threat to men and there is obviously no advantage to them in being in men’s spaces, other than for their own mental health and comfort. The likelihood of an ulterior motive, such as predatory behaviour or a sexual motive is tiny, compared to cross dressing men.

I think both of those two have had the subtlety and restraint that many of the conspicuous male activists haven’t got, though Whittle is losing some of that skill, of late.

As transactivists, who are obviously asking for a significant societal privilege, namely moving into opposite sex spaces, it’s pretty much essential to chose someone non-threatening to head your campaign and those two fit the bill perfectly, as did Hayley from Corrie, because she was female too.

You have to wonder at the people in charge. Why do they not see vulnerable girls. They need investigating and tge people tgat gave them tge job because they are all in the wrong one.

It's not a " vendetta" I just find your posts really odd and not quite credible. They all seem to be centred on elevating yourself, rather than in making general comment

This is so sad, worrying and unfair. Young girls in care are so vulnerable.
