David Lammy continues to ignore women.

David Lammy has been accused of ignoring women’s rights as he comes under pressure to remove transgender prisoners from a female jail.

The newly appointed Justice Secretary – an outspoken supporter of trans rights whose recent comments to concerned voters can be revealed today – has been urged to shut down a special unit inside HMP Downview in light of the Supreme Court ruling on biological sex.

He has been told by the local MP that E Wing, which currently houses five biological males who have legally changed sex, represents a ‘clear breach’ of the provisions for single-sex spaces in the Equality Act.

What the Daily Mail for some reason fails to make clear is that Downview is a women’s prison. It’s because it’s a women’s prison that the five males shouldn’t be there.

It comes after inspectors found that there is no longer one-to-one supervision of the trans inmates when they mix with female prisoners for education, religious services or social visits in the Surrey prison.

Good grief, what a waste of resources to assign handlers to male inmates so that they can “mix with” female inmates.

Rebecca Paul, Conservative MP for Reigate, told the Mail: ‘I welcome David Lammy to his new role as Justice Secretary, and I implore him to do the lawful and responsible thing and remove all biological males from women’s prisons. We are a heartbeat away from a terrible tragedy.

Why does she welcome him to his role when he’s allowing men to threaten women in women’s prisons? He’s doing a bad job, so why welcome him? I know, diplomacy, etiquette, conventions, yadda yadda, but that’s part of why we get stuck in this endless god damn loop. We mustn’t be rude to the poor dear man in a dress, so women just have to put up with him, it’s the polite thing to do.

This newspaper can also reveal that when asked recently if he accepted the Supreme Court judgment on single-sex spaces – which ruled that the definition of a woman is based on biological sex – Mr Lammy replied instead: ‘I strongly believe that trans people’s safety and wellbeing must be protected.’

Which is to say he strongly believes that men should be pampered at the expense of women.

Helen Joyce of women’s rights charity Sex Matters said: ‘David Lammy’s response to his constituents on the Supreme Court ruling demonstrates a serious blind spot on women’s sex-based rights.

‘It is deeply concerning that the new Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, who is responsible for prisons, repeatedly emphasises support for trans-identifying people without any acknowledgement that the trans lobby’s demand for gender self-identification means the destruction of women’s rights.’

Also he apparently never says the same thing about women – never bothers to emphasize support for women. He seems to view and treat women as the enemy – the privileged domineering powerful enemy.
