Oh go on, why not

Reduxx tells us:

An ongoing lawsuit against Correctional Service Canada (CSC) has forced the federal government to admit that female inmates have been raped by at least two trans-identified male transfers since the implementation of a gender identity housing policy in 2017. Despite the official admission, the Attorney General of Canada claims, in a statement of defense, that housing violent male convicts in women’s prisons “does not infringe the rights guaranteed to cisgender women inmates.”

Very true, unless you think that women have a right to avoid potential rapists. I for one do think women have that right.

In 2017, Correctional Service Canada (CSC) adopted an interim policy (Bulletin 584: Bill C-16) which allowed male inmates to be housed according to their “gender identity” rather than according to their biological sex. 

Which is a very very very stupid thing to do. Female vulnerability to the strength and sexual equipment of men is not a matter of “identity” but of brute physical facts.

Five years later, in 2022, the CSC finalized its approach and formally enacted the policy titled Commissioner’s Directive 100: Gender Diverse Offenders. The guidelines detail the CSC’s “commitment to meeting the needs of its gender diverse offender population in ways that respect their human rights and ensure their safety and dignity.”

And disrespect women’s human rights and ensure their loss of safety and dignity.

Why? Why do that? Why make things easier for the sex with much greater strength and an external sexual organ at the expense of the sex with much lower strength and an internal sexual organ?

I await explanations which will never arrive.

    Yeah, maybe it doesn’t infringe on the rights of ‘cisgender’ women, but it sure does infringe on the rights of women.

    When I was younger, and women were starting to make a lot of progress, I never dreamed I would see the day where a public official would state that women don’t have a right not to be raped. I know he didn’t say it that way, but we all know what the outcome of the policy will be…what it already has been.

    I did not care much about trans issues — until I realized it was always the women who suffered, not the men. Never men in men’s prisons, men’s toilets, men’s changing rooms, men’s counseling centers, etc. Always women. And that means there are two sexes, and while we’ve progressed in diminishing the significance of sex in most arenas, there are still places where sex does and always will matter.
