FWS and Scottish prison service - "trans inmates left sexless..."

What a crock of absolute bollocks. They will still have a sex: the one they were born with. The one they still are. The one they cannot change.

Are SNP ministers wilfully this stupid or does it come naturally to them?

My eyes couldn't roll any harder. What stupidity this is. How about admitting that you're wrong and apologising, instead.

It's like they're trolling us - "See, we can be THIS insane and we STILL get voted in! We can do absolutely anything we like!"

Do they really think this is going to be a vote winner in the upcoming elections?

FFS. What is wrong with the First Minister? Why can't he stop treating women like we are worthless and only exist to make men feel better. He should focus instead on actually running Scotland. He's not been doing a good job so far.

I cannot believe this nonsense. What are they thinking.

“in an intermediate zone of neither one sex nor the other”

Where do they house non-binary prisoners?

But surely it's their gender that counts and sex is irrelevant!

Everything they say on this is nonsense. I do feel sympathy for gender critical MSPs - imagine having to work with the SNP/Green politicians who spout this rubbish. I don't think John Swinney even believes all the GI stuff, which makes his insistence on fighting for it look even more pathetic.

What a crock.....
I couldn't work with these people - it would drive me nuts
Do they really believe what they're saying? Sexless? 🙄

This is all a psyops to cause chaos. Prove me wrong.

If they can't use and abuse women they will have an existential crisis?

Have a unit or wing ffs. They can prop up each other. Women are not to be fed to men, regardless of how confused they may be. Or how much utter bollocks politicians can talk.

'left sexless'

I swear to god the SNP are brainless, misogynistic gaslighters.

And I voted for them. Twice. So what the hell does that say about me (clearly rhetorical ... before anyone chimes in). 🙁

Oh good God 🤦‍♀️. Have they found a third gamete? No? Then they are not neither one sex nor the other, they are men.

There. I have just saved the Scottish Government and the Courts a lot of time and money. HTH.

I was about to ask, Who on earth votes for this shower?

Possibly a lot fewer people than once did, now that they have truly demonstrated the extent of their idiocy.

Oh FFS. The Supreme Court found transwomen are to be treated as their bio sex for equality purposes 🙄

The Supreme Court and the EHRC handed the Scottish Govt a get out of jail free card wrapped up in a red bow. Why won't they accept it? They could keep pulling regretful faces while blaming it on the bigger boys.

Don't true Indy believers in their party know that this topic isn't a vote winner, and will set their cause back? Look at how Sturgeon's career ended.

So I can't fathom their motivation. Is this really only about a genuine concern for trans prisoners?* Surely there's something else going on. A face saving exercise? A final petulant swipe at the UK govt for blocking self ID?

• I do think some male politicians are more concerned about transwomen getting raped in male prisons, than they are about women getting raped in female prisons. Being raped by a stronger man in prison is a common, visceral fear. Perhaps that's why they empathise with transwomen and want them to be "safe" and apart from men.

Boofuckinghoo

You’re assuming that thinking has occurred. I admire your optimism though...

They are stark raving mad.

Oooh, is this a nice example of a modern take on Karl Popper's principle of
falsifiability?

Mr Popper reckoned that "a scientific theory must be testable and potentially proven false (refuted) to be considered scientific, not just verifiable, using the "all swans are white" example: finding a single black swan instantly disproves the universal claim, even though finding many white swans can never prove it true; science progresses by actively seeking these refutations (black swans) rather than just confirming evidence (white swans)."

What about the other 61 genders?!

Moi aussi.

Sorry, Scotland.

When your politics makes you believe that a rapists right to have access to women is greater than the rights of women to be protected from rapists, you need to look at what exactly you believe in.

Not that all transwomen are rapists. But sexual offenders do seem over represented in the trans women prison population.

It does feel like for some of these men, the thought of a man being raped by another man is horrific, whereas the thought of a woman being raped by a man is just, oh well.
