// so he's transitioning to become a Lesbian? How does that work? //

He's a lesbian trapped inside a man's body.

Should be in the lunatic asylum.

DD: "A more cynical person than me might think it was done because respecting his right to be considered a woman trumped the rights of the women in the prison not to be assaulted by this aberration. " - sadly that is the case these days.

the prisons minister admitted in committee

oops we have made a weeny cack-up !

Didnt the man who said he was a gurl and then assaulted all the gels in a woman's prison - get life a day or so ago ?

This from Ricky Gervais on Facebook..

This debate will run and run. some say "if she's says she's a woman, then she's a woman". Others say "Nah, not with a big rapey cock she's not". I don't know who to believe.

Even if White underwent 'full' transition, s/he has an unhealthy and violent mindset towards women and I don't think the removal of the 'big rapey appendage' would do anything to alter that.

White does not want to be transitioned, just the opportunity to carry on abusing. As long as he has the support of the right on brigade, who can blame HIM.

[mushroom25]

but SK, it's not just the right-on brigade. both mainstream parties take the view that it's not the state's job to make people prove their identity (as the present legislation does), and "demedicalisation" of gender identity will happen, it's only a question of when. in answer to any protest question, like "yeah but what about karen white", the official line is likely to be "some rapists say they're trans. get over it".

the bigger risk of self-identification is not the odd rapist though - wrong though that is. it is of abusive men using "transition" as a route to locate and torture vulnerable women, those who (say) run to refuges......

[SparklyKid]

I agree mush.

That's true. The ridiculous thing about this though is that a man with a history of violence towards women should be put in a women's prison.
Maybe after he's become a woman it might make sense, but not before.
