I thought men who identified as women could go and have gone to female prisons. Have they changed the rules?

[dannyk13]

At least it will save the prison warders a problem.

SR as mentioned in the link there is no proof that she/he is indeed transgender.

[jno]

I don't think they get to identify themselves (which is presumably a good thing in your eyes?), but nobody else had done it in this case.

Prisons are already massively overcrowded. You could ask for a new one to be built in your backyard, to lock up locals, if you like.

[Spicerack]

I said identified as a woman.
Whatever, it's a good card to play.

[Spicerack]

I thought we'd locked up men who identified as women in women's prisons before and they went on to rape some of the female inmates. Maybe that happened abroad?
Still, kept this scrote out of clink.

perlease, all this TG cobras is getting out of hand!

[ludwig]

He can't go to a women's prison because he doesn't have 'certified evidence of gender re-assignment'.

His barrister then argued that he'd be vulnerable in a male only prison, so he shouldn't be sent there either.

The judge, obviously thinking it had now become too tricky for him to deal with, basically said - and I'm paraphrasing - 'oh alright I've changed my mind, maybe you don't deserve prison after all'.

So yeah, punishment avoided.

the bloke's a bloke, send him to a bloke's nick, end of.

[youngmafbog]

Bang on TTT.

What a bloody joke some of these judges are, I bet the TG will be rubbing their hands together at this, does this not say “ TGs get out there and do whatever you want, Rob a bank or a shop, they ( being the judges) don’t know what prison to send us to”

[Ken4155]

Why couldn't the judge have deferred sentencing until such time as he/she had certified evidence of gender? Surely, having decided that a custodial sentence was appropriate, that would have been better than suspending the sentence and having Le Fey attend rehabilitation sessions.

[ladybirder]

Why would Le Fey bother registering or whatever it is they have to do, knowing that would mean going to prison. I wouldn't.

[Deskdiary]

No matter how the spin gets spun on this case (and I have no doubt some virtue signalers will defend the u-turn), the simple fact of the matter is the crime was considered serious enough to warrant a custodial, but because 'A Card' was played, the custodial was turned into a suspended.

This is an absurd decision.

[Old_Geezer]

It'd be a whole lot less confusing if they stopped erroneously referring to a male as she. If they managed that they might be a lot clearer regarding which gaol he should go.

One ought not ask for a gaol to be built locally; they are better built well away from residential areas where any escapees would be more easily spotted before they reached civilisation.

[Deskdiary]

Careful Old_Geezer - pronoun 'misuse' is now considered heresy.

If it looks like a duck, quacks likes a duck and waddles like a duck, it's a fair bet it's a duck...unless it wants to be known as a drake, in which case we must refer to her as a drake.

But if it looks like a horse, walks like a horse, neighs like a horse, trots like a horse, swishes its tail and ears like a horse …

it could still be an ass, or a donkey or a mule or zebra!!!

The world is a confusing place, standard norms simply don't apply these days.

[Deskdiary]

I have no issue with people wanting to change sex - if that's what they feel they need to do to lead a more fulfilling life, then good luck to them - they have no bearing on my life.

But...

Decisions like the one in the link are patently nuts.

Surely it's not beyond the wit of Solomon to decide if somebody is a pre-op, they're jailed in a jail in jail with people of their born sex, and post-op it's vice versa. A quick look in this persons pants/knickers would quickly show where to send the person to jail.

Instead a violent thief is now free.
