Call him “she” or get a longer sentence
Women prisoners who call transgender inmates by the wrong pronoun could face extra time in jail under equality rules, says a justice minister.
Female inmates who deliberately call a transgender woman “he” or “him” could be punished under rules barring “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour”.
So…in that scenario why is it the woman who is being “threatening” or “abusive”? Why isn’t it the man? Why are women being treated as a threat to men when the reality is the other way around?
That’s before we even get to “are you fucking kidding me, women will be punished for not repeating a lie?”
This summer, the High Court rejected a legal challenge to prevent transgender inmates with convictions for sexual or violent offences against women being imprisoned alongside other women.
So, women in prison have to put up with men convicted of violent or sexual crimes being locked up with them, and they have to pretend those men are women, on pain of further punishment.
How do the people in charge manage to stay blind to how grotesque this is?
Lord Wolfson added: “The Ministry of Justice and Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service are committed to advancing equality, eliminating discrimination, harassment and victimisation.”
No they’re not. They’re not advancing women’s equality, nor are they eliminating discrimination, harassment and victimisation of women.
“The Ministry of Justice and Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service are committed to advancing equality, eliminating discrimination, harassment and victimisation.”
He forgot to add “…for men.”
This is so outrageous that I am reduced to a blubbering, spitting blob of incoherent incandescence. Un-f*ing-believable.
Isn’t it.
Everything being done to women in prisons now is a trial run for how to do the same thing to all women. If women in prison are being forced to accept rape, you can bet we will soon be hearing “eh, rape, what is the big deal? it is just unpleasant sex, really, in most cases. Is that really something we need to consider a crime?”
Stack that alongside how kids being able to consent to transition at age 4 will eventually be expanded to a whole lot of things a 4 year old will be able to “consent” to.
This is so ridiculous, one wonders whether the Torygraph is inventing things in its struggle against ‘woke’ culture.
Someone important must have a busted calendar. It is not April Fools Day for quite a while yet.
Of course in the post-truth era, April Fools Day has become rather pointless. We should have a truth-telling day instead..
Absolutely infuriating.
I’m not at all suggesting that it would be OK for the few women who are violent criminals to have to accept this: I state emphatically that it would not be OK. But I think it’s also important to note that most women in UK prisons are there for non-violent bullshit crimes like not paying the TV license fee. In fact, a third of women in UK prisons are there for that reason. We can guess why it’s the women of the household who are saddled with this ‘offence’. And we can be fairly certain that our guesses would be correct.
Many women in UK prisons have suffered serious head trauma, most likely from domestic abuse, by men.
There is already something deeply amiss in the UK women’s prison system. Letting men in is absolutely shameful for all the reasons we’ve talked about. There are reports of women having to shower in basically communal (flimsy curtain between stalls) showers next to masturbating men. Women are having to organise shifts for showering so they won’t have to shower with a man.
It seems likely that there are a lot more sexual assaults going on than we hear about. This news is hardly likely to encourage victims to come forward, is it?
All because we’re forced to pretend men are women, all because some AGP men like to masturbate at the thought of being treated as a grotesque fantasy version of an adult human female.
And Southwest is right.
The four words that spring to mind when someone is that determined to violate women’s boundaries?
Check his hard drive.
