Only came to light because of the court case involving him claiming a woman in prison had been 'transphobic'(he lost). Presumably this man remains in the women's estate.

Interesting. It also came up during the Scottish gender recognition debates. There were amendments put forward to try to prevent criminals getting new ID and generally the SNP were having none of it.

Oh yes.
When you're pushing against a strong social narrative, and are constantly
slammed for it, it's really easy to get defensive, and then a bit shirty, and finally properly cross.

With each move, the tinfoil hat becomes more evident to the 'kind', 'liberal', 'thoughtful' person you're talking too.

But I do am utterly boggled that so many people were so stupid, or so willing to go along with the cool, 'kind' crowd, that they chucked safeguarding out of the window.

I was never cool, so that probably helped me...

How bad does it have to get before they actually do something about it? It would not surprise me if there’s a convicted nonce in a dress studying a PGCE right now, and applying for teaching jobs with a clean DBS.

They have to fill in the same form. The only difference is that the unit handles the info confidentially. Anyone using this service is basically OK- they ARE revealing their old name but they dont want eg an employer seeing it. The problem is the ones who dont use the unit, and who dont put their old names on the form - they know they won't get caught as there is no connection between the new and old ID. It's a criminal offence but chances are they won't get caught and they have bigger stuff to worry about, like the old criminal record.

She’s confusing the EHRC with the European Court of Human Rights. No, we don’t need to wait for anything from Europe.
