Women's 'Private Spaces'

1000 replies

Howseitgoin · 26/08/2025 03:45

Clearly private spaces for women are considered a necessity by many due to a propensity for male sexual violence. Given this threat is much greater by orders of magnitude in the work place as opposed to public bathrooms, isn't it inconsistent not to demand private spaces there as well?
Thoughts?

The OP cant even try to answer any of your questions or to reply in any meaning full way. You deal in facts with logical well reasoned data backed observation points which can therefore be independently checked and validated.

You interact and consider other replies and you can discuss what you agree with as well as what you disagree with.

The OP cant even quote a post to form a substantive reply. The OP has to rely on a copy and paste of words or paragraphs to make the trite personal attacks work.

Thank you, that’s nice of you to say. I never thought I would end up knowing so many facts about toilets!

Just another woman by the definition used by the OP. Here is another one fitting your definition @Howseitgoin

Yep and is due out this year.

He wont be "going to work in Hollywood" with his record so the Irish Government must be feeling like a cat in a rocking chair store as sadly given his history its going to be when not if he attacks someone.
But the UK police will likely get a BOTLO for him too.

There's a podcast linked on the craicnet gender critical thread that goes into detail about this case.

Barbie Kardashian was acquitted.

Throughout the trial, the entire court room referred to this dangerous young man as she/her.

Under Irish law he is a legal female except when a "female penis" commits a sex offence.
If the law is valid he has no lawful right to access male health care eg for prostate cancer because the law as passed said is a legal female and legal woman and women dont get prostate cancer.

(Its a stupid law)

"And where is your evidence that all males that say they are female score in a statistically female” way in all these categories?
Where is your data?
Or is it just what you believe? That all trans identified males are gentle, kind, empathetic souls?
That’s not been my experience. Mainly on the autism spectrum and exhibiting at least some degree of black and white thinking, and aggressive behaviour if you don’t comply with their belief. And some frankly fetishistic exhibitionism in some. I have not met one that I thought had a “female soul”.

From the google AI overview:
"Research indicates that transgender women's Big Five personality traits are not significantly different from those of cisgender women; a study found that compared to cisgender women, transgender women had lower scores on Negative Affectivity and Psychoticism (related to neuroticism and introversion) but similar scores on other traits. This suggests that trans women do not exhibit a profile that is inherently more aligned with men's personality characteristics, but rather, their personality profiles are similar to those of women, aligning with the gender similarities hypothesis."

You can google the studies yourself.

Leaving aside the reliability of google AI, as nobody is carrying out personality tests to verify gender identity, that is all completely irrelevant.

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 27/08/2025 10:58

Exactly.

Incarcerated women actually ARE among the most vulnerable people in society, and unlike the rest of us, do not even have the option to self exclude from a female only space if a man is present, because they are literally locked up in that space with him.

Those judges completely disregarded those women's actual, real, fundamental human rights, including Article 3 (prohibition of inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment), Article 5 (right to security), Articles 9 and 10 (right to freedom of thought and conscience and freedom of expression, in this case the right not to agree that the male sex offender they are being forced to shower next to is a woman) and Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) in the European Convention of Human Rights, in deference to the completely imaginary, non-existent "human right" of male sex offenders to serve their prison sentences in a female prison on the grounds that being with locked up with other male criminals is inconsistent with their "female gender identity" (but using their penis to rape a woman is not).

Fuck knows how the judges arrived at that conclusion but they are clearly unfit to sit in the High Court.

Thank goodness things have moved on significantly since 2021.

TRA or MRA target judges and/or are judges.

By right the State should have been instructed to manage this sub-group of males within the male complex

Here is an example of a male person with a transgender identity, Peter Selby, who did not get a prison sentence in Australia due his transgender identity, how has been charged yet again.

This is a bit inconvenient for Allsop's credibility I think OP.

@Howseitgoin Would you like to explain which personality / behaviours this paedophile has that make Selby a 'woman'?

This one is not one that I am going to go hunting for but it is another one. Vetea Joseph Bunton

https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flatread.php?thread=9669198

"But then Justice Brian Devereaux gave Bunton leniency during the initial court proceedings in part because of vouching made by forensic psychologist, Dr. Gavan Palk. She does not present as a person who is a risk to children. Her sexual offences appear situational and in the context of low self-esteem and lack of confidence due to teenage sexual adjustment issues, Devereaux said. There was no evidence of entrenched pedophilic tendencies."

So @Howseitgoin

In Australia between 2016- 2022 3/15 male people with transgender identities received some consideration for sentencing due to be transgender.

Gosh.... 20%. I wonder if I find the UK figures to be as high. Amazing to think that Allsop attempted to leverage indigenous people's experiences with systemic racism to say that male people with transgender identities are likely to be jailed because they are transgender....

Off to look at the UK figures.

"Rachel Smith, 56, was handed a suspended jail term and a sexual harm prevention order in 2018 for making indecent photographs of children."

and

"Judge Robert Spragg said there was 'nothing overtly sexual in the chats that took place' and that the public will be better protected by Smith having added intervention from the authorities rather than a prison sentence."

One in Ireland OP

"Five years ago in Dublin, a man was up in court for pouring boiling water over another man’s face in an unprovoked assault. He got a suspended sentence. Our media lied to us at the time that the assailant was a woman. This week, that same man was sent to prison for having committed a sexual assault. That’s not so easy for the media to lie about. The man is 63-year-old Rolando Otto, aka Samantha Otto. He is a trans-identified, Filipino man who has been living in Ireland since 2011."

A suspended sentence because why? Look no further than the media report from that time....

www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/criminal-court/suspended-sentence-for-woman-who-poured-boiling-water-over-man-s-face-1.4386061

He (Mr Le Vert) submitted that "her gender issues" were something the court could take into account and that "someone of her position would find prison would be more difficult and isolating".

Judge Codd said that in view of Otto’s previous good character and the difficulties she has faced in her life, she did not think it was appropriate to impose a custodial sentence.

She sentenced Otto to three years imprisonment which she suspended in full on strict conditions.

Oh gosh... How is Allsop's reasoning looking now?

‘Having reflected again upon the impact an immediate custodial sentence would have, the difficulties there are and the intractable problems the prison service would face, I have reconsidered whether imprisonment must be immediate,’ the judge told the court.
Instead, Le Fey was handed a six-month suspended sentence. This would seem to be a message to any men who fancy getting away with a prison sentence if unlucky enough to be caught.

Jayde Clowting

Clowting was accused of "caressing the bum" of a drag queen who was at the nightclub with his boyfriend and friends and later getting involved in a fight with them along with her friend Lana Stancer.

and

Judge Horton told the defendant he had found her actions on the night in question to be "serious" and said the level of violence towards the complainant could have led to someone being seriously hurt.

He also acknowledged the difficulties Clowting had faced as a trans woman and believed her anger was partly a symptom of being the victim of transphobia for many years.

He said: "You should be and can become a credit to society for what you've been through, you're someone capable of helping others go through what you have gone through.

"The community order I have sentenced you may help you deal with anger and aggression and it might help you with aspects of your life and thinking."

Why would people follow your links if you can't explain why they are relevant?

There is is no desire in the trans community for gender identity to be objectively quantified and tested, so you are heading down a dead end.

The choices are single sex or mixed sex spaces, and if you genuinely believe mixed sex spaces are the best option, you need to engage with questions asked by keeptoiletssafe, because these are the kind of questions that would have to be addressed by anyone with a serious interest in policy.

"You miss the point about gender stereotypes, it seems.
Yes, lots of women behave in accordance with gender stereotypes. And many more are expected so to do. (That's what "stereotype" means.) But some (many) of these stereotypes are deleterious to women. I might want my granddaughter to be a doctor, not a nurse, for instance, for her benefit and that of wider society.
Or I might be pleased if a child, asked to draw a scientist, drew a woman in a dress (yes, another stereotype, I know ...) rather than a man in a white coat.
OK, you get the point? - Some gendered behaviours, expectations, etc., may be bad for women. Attempts to reinforce such stereotypical behaviours and expectations, then, as connected with womanhood, is a particular aspect of a form of sexism: such attempts are anti-women.
However, it's precisely this you advocate in your posts about trans-identified men being considered womanly because of their attempts to copy behaviours associated with women."

You are confused. I'm not prescribing behaviours. I'm describing them. And what's more as much as you disavow stereotypes you're most likely living one & also categorising sex based on them…unknowingly. Our reptilian brains work at an unconscious level so quickly based on archetypical associations when it comes to sex you don't even know you are doing it.

Whilst I take your point that some gendered behaviours are socialised rather than organic, the overwhelming incidence of sexed coded behaviours point to organic & this only makes sense as personality traits are influenced by genes & hormones in utero.

"Can you see how such behaviour - as well as your advocacy - is, indeed, basically and fundamentally sexist in its treatment of gender stereotypes? - Think about it, anyway."

Can you see how your denial of biological reality as uncomfortable as it is & advocacy is, indeed, basically & fundamentally ignorant in its treatment of facts?Think about, it anyway.

So, between 2017 - 2022 I counted 6/17 male people with transgender identities receiving leniency in the UK due to their transgender status.

And that is just the ones that were reported in the media.

But... apparently, Allsop has a banger of an evidenced point where he falsely compares the treatment of indigenous people in the justice system and systemic discrimination to the treatment of male people with convictions in the UK.

Yeah? nah.... I do reckon that Allsop is speaking utter bollocks. And only a fool would be posting his medium page as some kind of clever rebuttal to the UK MoJ figures. Figures by the way that were accepted as evidence by the High Court without comment about their accuracy.
