"A man gets charged with 2 sexual offences against women and appears in court at the age of 29, then decides he's trans. This is one example of why that stupid law Sturgeon tried to pass was blocked last week. We bet the booking record from when he was first taken into custody has him recorded as male, and the police actually do ask you for your sex." how would the law have changed things ? | |||

"This is one example of why that stupid law Sturgeon tried to pass was blocked last week. We bet the booking record from when he was first taken into custody has him recorded as male, and the police actually do ask you for your sex." "how would the law have changed things ? " The law as it stands says that a trans person must get a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and live as their new gender for 2 years, before a gender recognition certificate can be issued. The recent Scottish law would have removed both of those hurdles. Sturgeon now find herself in a difficult position. She's spent the last few months telling everyone that it's vitally important that trans people be able to self declare, and that they have a right to be respected. She now finds herself having to deny a trans person that very right, because it's politically inconvenient. Westminster couldn't have hoped for a more perfect petard for her to be hoist by. | |||

"What a bloody confusing mess! The whole trans rights issue is a head explosion emoji! As per the trans people in sport discussion, I totally support the right of anyone to identify how they want. But where that becomes tricky is when that has a detrimental impact on other people. In this specific case we are dealing with a person who r***d (word we cannot use) two women. At the time he committed the crimes and was convicted of them he was a man and was sent to a male prison. Call me a cynic but at what point did this man decide he wanted to start identifying as a woman? Was there any evidence of this desire prior to his crimes? Was it during criminal proceedings? Since he entered prison? Does this trans woman still have male genitalia? Have they started any hormone treatment (and if so how if they are in prison - I trust that taxpayers are not funding that)? As I say, call me a cynic but I do not believe this person is sincere in identifying as a woman. I also think people like this are undermining and damaging the whole trans rights debate." I think this is spot on. The problem for the law is that it cannot deal with hopes and wishes - it has to deal with the harsh reality of life and the reality is that people like this exist who will abuse any loopholes. All sides need to calm down and have a _proper_ debate about the impacts of these decisions. The current climate around this debate has too much heat and noise and that never makes good law. | |||

"Interesting that under the Equality Act 2010 trans people can self declare. To discriminate against a self declared trans person would breach the Equality Act 2010. " The Equality Act 2010 made 'trans' a protected characteristic, and prevents discrimination against trans people. It means that a trans person can't be treated less favourably than any other person. The act applies to anyone that is discriminated against because of trans issues, whether they are trans or not. The Equality Act 2010 does not include any aspect of recognising a trans person's new gender. For that you need to look at the Gender Recognition Act 2004, which mandates a gender dysphoria diagnosis, and two years of living in a gender, before it can be legally recognised. | |||

"I'm genuinely surprised this hasn't attracted a bit more attention. Isla Bryson did commit these crimes whilst she was male. She did identify as female her first court appearance. She has identified as female for over 2 years. Says she was taking hormones (not sure if that's true) This is gonna get tied up in legal matters I believe but not sure what the answer is." I'm not surprised, I was expecting a silence because it has clearly exposed the flaws in the argument that if you think you are X, you are X and should be treated as X without question. The fear factor of getting it wrong among people who are walking on eggshells stifles conversation, which in turn allows bad people to take advantage. As mentioned above, this will also have a negative impact on people who are genuinely trans. | |||

"Are you thinking this person is always on the job, doesn't get a bit of downtime in which they aren't held to such standards?" It's not about people acting one way professionally, and another in private, it's more about who they are. For instance a judge learns over time that you cannot come to a proper conclusion unless you know all the facts. They learn to make sure everything is examined before coming to a judgement. Even in their private life, a judge won't easily condemn someone without making sure they have examined every angle. Psychologists have a similar mindset. They know that what might appear a simple diagnosis can turn out to be something else entirely once they know more about the patient. A good psychologist will not offer any opinion about a patient that they haven't personally examined. Not because they are worried about being wrong, but because they are aware that they really don't know enough to come to a conclusion. | |||

"Personally. Any rights the offender had where lost the moment HE commited the attack. He wants to be a woman well give a knife to the woman he rxxxd I'm sure she willingly free him from having a cock and balls. I'm absolutely flabbergasted that it even got this far, there's a special place in hell for assholes like him. " Hopefully this will finish this thread off, this statement is the most sensible yet on this farcical case of another weasel trying to work the judicial system?

"Well those individuals (whether they are male,female, intersex , or whatever they claim) that commit those type of crimes - well instead of figuring out do we put them in a woman’s prison or a man’s prison, maybe a firing squad would be more appropriate. " Since 1973, the United States has executed more than 1,500 people. How many of them were later found to be innocent? 190. Does it make people safer? No. The death penalty doesn't keep people safe and you end up killing the wrong people. | |||

"Find that statement laughable Why? I do hope the moderator is ensuring no transphobia is going to happen here Whilst we can agree this woman is a convicted criminal that does not take away her innate womanhood, regardless of her body parts I'm hoping other supporters of trans rights who frequent this forum will say something against what seems to be bigotry here it's a loosing battle to try and convince someone that we should look at gender not sex. For some people we should be categorising people based on what genitals they were born with. For prisons, that's not a bad starting point (alongside seriousness of the crime). However given we should also consider the safety of inmantes, I can see why trans people would be a case for case basis. This case has the eemotion Of being a sex crime and someone who started to transition after the crime. Again, I wonder if ppl would be as happy sending a fully transitioned women into a male prison. Or allow a trans man into a women's prison. Safety in these situations becomes blurred ... I genuinely don’t know where i stand on this and you are right the emotion of the crime plays a part The right thing seems to be place inmates where the least risk exists, so not placing a sex offender against women in with women, and not placing a fully transitioned woman into a male prison But then another part of me wonders why i am so concerned with how vulnerable a criminal might be when they most likely didn’t have that same care for the vulnerabilities of their victims At what point is a punishment a punishment and you suffer the consequences of how that looks. And then i go full circle back to but people still need to have human rights etc As you can see i have no idea what the answer is this is the debate right. To add to your confusion, if you take the view that you needn't care about a criminals safety, why the outrage at placing a trans women in a women's prison ... After all the women are also criminal. Why care about their safety... Thats the moral paradox in all this. And so, I go back to case by case. Which is the way the system seems to be and from what I can tell will continue to be even if the new bill passes. The point that is screaming to be heard is the transition happened after the crime. This is not 100% about a trans person being placed in the right prison, the problem is the perceived ease at which a criminal who attacked 2 women was placed into a female prison until the media got hold of the story! This person has created the scenario a lot of anti trans have been predicting would happen. Supporting this personis not supporting trans or women" wasn't she segregated? But I would agree that there should be a different approach for decoding where that segregation is. Eg gender they were identifying at the time of the crime. | |||

"Personally. Any rights the offender had where lost the moment HE commited the attack. He wants to be a woman well give a knife to the woman he rxxxd I'm sure she willingly free him from having a cock and balls. I'm absolutely flabbergasted that it even got this far, there's a special place in hell for assholes like him. Hopefully this will finish this thread off, this statement is the most sensible yet on this farcical case of another weasel trying to work the judicial system? Its blindingly obvious what this scumbag is trying to do, and his victims must be still going through hell after what he did to them, and now having to endure this too? What a terrible thing to say. No one wants to change gender for no reason, we have reliably been told this repeatedly. It's a fantasy, made up by right wing bigots, to suggest that someone claiming they are not the gender they were assigned at birth to be 'faking it'. How could you say such an awful thing Caitlyn Jenner has stated herself that as far as she is concerned, she's ALWAYS been a woman. I'm sure this individual is the same and shame on you for suggesting SHE is not a woman Trans women ARE women after all" Caitlyn Jenner hasn't sexually assaulted anyone as far as we're all aware, regardless of how long she's declared that she's been a woman, the person in the said case has, or is that a fantasy too? This individual is playing the system, it doesn't take much working out, anyone can see that its a change of gender for convenience, as he/she knows what waits for him/her in the prison? | |||

No, she never sexually assaulted anyone but she's done nothing for stereotype surrounding women drivers And how could you suggest someone would falsely claim to be a different gender? That's transphobic that is, the sort of thing they're fighting for in Scotland right now. Shame on you | |||

"Keith Brown, the SNPs Justice Secretary has said If someone presents as a trans person then we accept that at face value Regardless of their crimes, denying someone their ability to identify as their true selves is cruel isn't it Both Tiffany Scott and Isla Bryson are women and should be held with the same gender. Because Trans women ARE women, right " I am just reading what the Scottish Prison Minister said ( front page of the BBC news site) and he actually said: "It will always be the case, has always been the case, similar in relation to a gender recognition certificate, that these things are not determinative of where somebody is placed, You cannot insist on that right if you're a transgender woman or man, to be placed in the estate where you want to be placed. It will only happen as a result of a multi-party assessment, a rigorous risk assessment that goes on and that is what determines where people are placed." Not sure where you are quoting the minister from but you would appear to be misconstruing what has been said to imply that prisoners can determine where they are placed. | |||

And if you don't you must be able to quantify how you came to that decision so you can apply it justifiably in the future If you do accept it at face value (as the snp justice minister has said) then where so you imprison such an individual A (born) woman convicted of sexual assault would be imprisoned with women, do IF transwomen ARE women, then surely you must imprison them with OTHER women And I say educated because this argument, as evidenced by it's clear as mud nature, is a relatively new issue and as we are being educated individuals who identify with women ARE women (whereas if I said to you 10 years ago that I'm a woman just because I say I am you'd laugh in my face) | |||

And indeed they are with t count and other approaches. And that makes sense imo as part of the reason for having women's sport is to create fairer competition. Maybe we could have sports classification that is gender neutral but based on height, or weight, or testosterone levels. Fact is, we split society to date based on genitals because, if you go back a few years, genitals was all you had to measure. And indeed splitting by gender / sex is fairly societal. Which probably makes a bit of a mockery of ppl who want to use sex not gender as a marker, because sex is "science" and gender is "societal norms" | |||

It is about this individual committing a serious assault, yes with his penis when he was of male gender, and because he was caught, he then decides that he's no longer a man, he then proclaims that he's a woman, don't you think that its just a slight coincidence or what? He/she whatever, is playing the system in order to go to an all female prison, a vile individual that committed a serious crime? You're obviously blind to what stunts are being pulled here, he was a man when he r**** those women, he wasn't bothered about gender then was he, so should serve time in a male prison for the crime he committed at the time as a MAN! | |||

You absolutely cannot blame assaulting someone on Transphobia or misogyny, I experience Transphobia on a daily basis and still haven't assaulted anyone. Ridiculous. | |||

I don't think any transwoman, regardless of their crime should be held in a women's prison. The prison has to assure the safety of vulnerable male prisoners all the time.

You want someone who looks, sounds and has the body and hormones of a man in a women's prison? Based off the research I have read (provided by an actual women's aid charity I might add!) Trans people are more at risk of abuse than cis women or cis men. From personal experience, I've never been abused by a trans person, but I have been abused by cis women. Make of that what you will. I kind of think it should be based on the offence committed and and how far along someone is in their transition, as to where they are incarcerated but I don't know an awful lot about the legal system involved so I don't have all the answers. If someone is just claiming to be trans to try and "get access" to vulnerable women, then surely they're not trans in the first place? | |||

You are worried about the risk to other female inmates (who by definition are criminals, some of whom may have committed crimes that are "deserving of a new asshole". But ignore the risk of the trans criminal. Your approach would see a trans women in a male prison even if they only committed tax fraud. The system will keep them safe you say. But the system wouldn't keep the females inmate's safe if they went into a women's prison. | |||

"Buck Angel is not the gold standard to be listening to about trans men, let me just say that now. He is extremely problematic in a lot of his views. Your experience of trans men means nothing in comparison to the lived experience of a trans man, and your opinion on whether they "pass" or their "vibe" is also completely irrelevant. We are not women, so stop making out like we are. Transphobes want to bleat on about Testosterone levels and penises yet would rather put someone with both in a female prison? Make it make sense. If that is the case for Isla, then there obviously needs to be a lot more investigation into how to stop people from exploiting the process without impacting the lives of people who are genuinely trans or non binary. I have no idea what the solution is. No one, trans or cis, should be giving anyone death threats over trans/anti trans debates. It's stupid and doesn't get anyone anywhere. It takes away from the actual issues at hand. Also, did you know that cis women that are at risk of being a danger to other women can and are housed in male prisons? IMO if someone is a danger to others they shouldn't be in either male or female gen pop anywazy." I'm bowing out when you start with the transphobe nonsense because I disagree with you. Artificially altering your hormone profile and transplanting a piece of flesh from your arm to your pubic area to create a faux penis does not mean you pose the same threat as a man. We'll never agree. But I wish you well | |||

"I know Gay bloke he's 70's+ Very perverted man, hes been banned from very dangerous (Even Europe) prisons. Got very illicit network for similar annoying behaviour. One spell he was going back - 90's into HMP's HMO's etc having sexual intercourse with staff Inc as he found it All ages - what is the prison population or his desire YEWTREE occurance was no phenomenon DURING 1980/90s he'd been done exactly same thing changed sex & back, multiples,. If they are not proven connected I'd be very surprised. Very boring - they wont house him HMP/HMOs because he's clinical and that's why he pushed the system He loved doing it & tiny ones he destroyed Its no shame to a man like that Hes an absolute tosser This is just one of his little boyfriends he'd found at the Ice Cream booths traveling the country Developments in media or me are seen shrewd in all sexes. I'm not afraid to see MI5 (even if they are here) arrive in my town because hes got new CAB/indie boyfriend or money monk Did anybody actually speak out ?? Very very very boring " Struggled to understand a word about that. | |||

"Presumably on this basis all the women prisoners lost their "rights" when they committed whatever offence got them incarcerated....of course not. The prison has a duty of care to their safety. This cuts both ways. They also have a duty of care to the trans woman, re her safety in a male prison. Clearly neither is suitable. The answer they will eventually arrive at is to house trans inmates in a trans prison!" it depends on you trans | |||
