That thing that never happens

[Winterfishing]

It happened again.

Christ, it never stops, does it?

Oh surely not!

Oh good Lord. It’s almost as though there is a link somehow.

Tbf in the olden days (pre 2015) the Police used to brief recruits about the links between transvestism and various forms of sexual crimes. Now those links cannot be spoken of, because it would be transphobic.

And another cop as well.

Ugh, that BBC article refers to this TiM as "they" even though it reports that the defendant was described with male pronouns throughout the trial.

I'm sure there was a poster on here who used to be a police officer and she spoke about this, how there were clear links and then suddenly nobody was allowed to talk about it anymore. I wish I could remember who it was, it was a thread I read ages ago.

There was a direct link between sexual offences and those men who cross dressed and/or full transvestives. It was well known.

Trifecta.

Worked in a school.

The school said Samuels' contract was terminated once it was alerted of their arrest by the authorities.

Christ. I thought we’d moved on from derogatory language like transvestite. There’s a very big difference between cross dressing and transgender. The majority of men who commit GBV / sexual assault are not cross dressers.

This thread needs NumbersGuy to give us some random stats about the height of drag queens' shoes, and Christinapple to tell us about that time JK Rowling put a milk carton in the wrong recycling bin.

Is this one linked to a certain infamous stalker?

At least he's been sentenced to a good chunk of time.

Transvestite isn't derogatory. The vast majority of sexual assaults are committed by men. What they're wearing is irrelevant.

I hope the women and girls he abused can put this behind them now and continue to heal.

Yep.

Trans - tick
Religion - tick
Cop - tick
School - tick

The more of this shit I see, the more I think we need to run Minority Report-type profiling and refuse DBS certificates on the basis of "likely to offend".

Obviously I don't literally mean that, but pattern spotting in offending has to be a thing, doesn't it?

The paraphilia name is transvestic fetish so transvestite is the term. Paraphilias rarely occur in isolation. Men can have multiple paraphilia including paedophilia.

😂😂

Ugh.

"Gwyn Samuels, who committed crimes as James Bubb" - almost like James Bubb doesn't exist anymore and Gwyn Samuels hasn't committed any crimes whatsoever.

S8nce when has 'transvestite ' been a,derogatory term? Some men like to wear women's clothes and are no threat to women. Some men like to wear women's clothes and are a COLOSSAL threat to women.

How do you suggest we tell them apart?

There’s a very big difference between cross dressing and transgender

”very big difference” 🤣

I'm also wondering why "transvestite" is an unacceptable term.

BBC news item said he 'used knives during sex' whatever the rubbery fuck THAT means, and I don't want to speculate really. My adult son and I were sitting here with jaws gaping in disgust, but he did note that the reporter on the 6pm BBC news mostly used 'he' and 'him' when talking about his court appearance, but later slipped in a 'they' which was just stupid.

This appalling person probably has a whole raft of paraphilia, and guess which one is irreproachable?

The same way you tell men who harm women and men who don’t harm women apart…?

Forgot the ignorance floating about here.

Cross dresser, usually cis gender who wears clothes that do not conform to their gender stereotype.
Transgender identifies as a different gender from that they were assigned at birth.

HTH

Exactly.

#inadvertently reaching the point

who assigns a gender at birth and how is it done?

It was Stonewall who, until recently, said the term transgender included cross dressers

Glad you got there in the end 👍
