Women's prisons and the Gender Recognition Act (2015)

notice how that’s the default answer!

“You trans basher!”

“Wait can you explain what you mean?”

“FCUK OFF TRANS HATER I DONT BELIEVE IN YOUUUUU”

I’d echo what I said yesterday on this- if you want to identify as a woman and live your life as one that is not something I’d have an issue with

But when you go to prison it’s sort of the point where you stop getting to decide the majority of your life from that point until (if) you leave- so if you’re a man who identifies as a woman unfortunately while you are a bold pup and require incarceration you will be housed in a men’s prison.

Similarly a women identifying as a man wouldn’t be placed in a men’s prison. Of course I’m sure the same people **** themselves over this discussion to begin with don’t have a problem with that. I find it interesting that it only seems to be the men who want to be women get treated so delicately.

why do you ask the questions you’ve had answers numerous times in slightly different ways?

As has been explained to you, several times now, women generally feel unsafe at the presence of a male prisoner within a female prison. I’m sure there’s plenty of women in prison who wouldn’t give a shite but if there’s ones that do they need to be listened to and taken seriously.

In fairness Suvi if you were raped as a child or young woman and then told there’s a male prisoner in the same place you are now locked in 24 hours a day would you feel comfortable? Even if that person is segregated.

What you’re doing is applying rational thought to a fear. People in prison are rarely in a rational and well put together state of mind.

are you ignoring the part where I explained rational and reasonable thought doesn’t exist in a prison?

and as was explained by volchista if women in prison are afforded less leisure and recreation time because of the need to keep trans prisoners segregated then they are suffering immensely.

Now you can start talking about stripping people of their human rights and dignity. When you’re locked up for more of day than you are not every minute counts.

If it’s say 18 hours in 6 hours out but if a trans prisoner is in the place now it’s 20 hours in 4 hours out that is MASSIVE. That’s 14 hours a WEEK these women are not getting out of their cells!

How can you sit there and say that’s not an issue?

Ah look this is just going in circles now. You are mad to think people in prison men or women are in the best frame of mental state I mean cop on to yourself.

Throw into the mix the potential for having recreational activities reduced, verbal abuse increased & sense of fear enhanced, yeah they’re definitely living the dream.

I don’t believe in God but I might start researching one to pray to because at this stage I think there’s no other hope for people such as yourself to understand that putting on a dress and calling yourself Mary doesn’t entitle you to space in women’s prisons, women’s sports or even women’s restrooms.

Transgender people have a right to be in society and a right to be respected but they do not have a right to latch on to women’s identities and strip actual women of their lifestyles they’ve lived for ions and fought diligently and hard for years to achieve. I tell ya one thing, where were all these trans women before you could vote, have a job and all the other basic human rights women had to fight and die for? How convenient they are all about it when things start getting better for ye.
